Cowbells beat me, I think you might need some sleep lol. I'm 4th not 3rd .

I was only able to do the "volcano boss trick" (as I call it anyways) on level one once. I saw it in a video and noticed the score fly way up during it. You get 3 options, laser, and missiles and you have to position yourself just right on the left with the options spaced out correctly. Then you hold laser down and mash the button for missiles, and hope. When it did work I got about 75,000 points on the first level alone. Of course I was too excited about actually doing it that I screwed up the next level completely. Playing without that I had gotten almost to the end of level 3.

Anyways it was fun. I'm up for a new genre for next competition .

Boohiss, I tried it like 20 times, never worked for me.
