The enemies are pretty good about shooting you whenever you're in their line of sight, and the bullets travel really fast, so it's hard to mitigate damage. I managed like 600 pts at best.\n\nThat being said, I really liked it and I played it for much longer than I thought I would. The plane mechanics are pretty neat. The speed up\/down makes for some interesting (if not physically accurate) acrobatics. The bits of humor are really welcome and fit the tone. The art and sound are very pleasing.
