this is an early attempt at a fairly difficult game. i hope that more people get interested in running this game.

the first 4 levels are fairly straightforward, with the last 2 as far more difficult. the main strategy is to memorize when the difficult enemies spawn, as that is always fixed.

i lost a life in the finale of stage 5, which could be avoided. i had to rush to try to get at least the long range powerup in stage 6, as this makes the boss far safer and easier. i lose another 2 lives on the last boss of stage 6 due to misjudging the grenade launchers.

there is a lot of time to save on the run, as i definitely got more grenades than i needed and could just rush through several sections.
