lol, yeah, also the fact that your ship is invincible makes the game pretty tedious. They should have added a time limit and some kind of a score multiplier and when you reach an integer overflow you'll get into a "Score orgasm" mode. That would have added the game a certain amount of depth and... wait, I forgot, scoring is for autists.
