Argh, just did a run ten feet short of yours, Colin. Right, let's go again!

EDIT: FFS, as soon as my Vita gets some more juice in it, that is. :lol:

Probably my final submission. I've been playing the hell out of this, it's a fantastic arcade game. So much more depth, no pun intended, that I originally thought.

4440ft : 165'960 points

Nice run Alex.

I haven't bettered mine and I'm even struggling to get past 3500m now, so I think I'll leave it there.
It actually plays really well even on the weak hardware. Its a nice port. Good fun.

Woo! Once I realised you can dig down faster than blocks can fall I started getting much better scores.

Sorry, wasn't able to compete. Played some more Truxton though and nearly reached the 200k mark!

Lovely. I'm gonna try it myself later if I get chance. I love it when one of them picks a shmup and even better when I've never heard of it.

Sqoon looks cute. Might snatch up the cart when I see it. Being that it's from Irem, it's weird that there is no arcade version.

I feel that Sqoon has really left an impact on you Clippi.
