Estimated time spent on game: 5 hours

Even though I'm a little over 2 seconds from the WR, I doubt that I will continue to play this game. It was a chore to even play this game for 5 hours in total. Maybe I will revisit this game if I have some sort of epiphany moment, but I plan to move on to other games.

As far as strategies go, try to get good at hitting the spider at close to point-blank to get 900 points. For the centipedes, you want to force them to come down vertically, so that it becomes easier to shoot the head (which nets 100 points each) and makes it easier to destroy the whole centipede. Whenever the scorpion comes on screen, destroy it as soon as possible, as it nets 1000 points.

Get used to the controls, since they are not intuitive when initially playing the game. Also, when you fire, make sure you have a purpose for firing. don't fire aimlessly everywhere. Only one shot is permitted on the screen, and firing aimlessly risks splitting the centipede into multiple centipedes, making it harder to destroy them (as well as leading to reduced potential points).
