Rules
General Rules: Left difficulty switch setting must remain in the B/Novice position throughout gameplay.
Right difficulty switch setting may be in any position at any time.
No use of trainers, cheats, saved game files, auto-fire (when not default present in-game), emulator save states, or other emulator advantages. No use of code modifications that give the player an advantage over other players. No continues.
It is discouraged and may lead to voters not accepting your score to:
- excessively point farm
- use glitches or other game exploits
Specific Rules:
⚙️ Game 0
∙ Slow initial Destroyer Missile (moves 1 of 5 check-frames)
∙ Non-bouncing Zorlon Cannon
∙ Eat shield cell or touch Qotile to arm Zorlon Cannon
👤 One player only.
🔢📈 Score chase. Highest score is best

⏪ Left difficulty switch setting must remain in the position indicated by the leaderboard category:
🅰 A / Expert: Zorlon Cannon and Destroyer Missile mutually destroy on contact (Swirl stays normal speed)
🅱 B / Novice: Zorlon Cannon passes through Destroyer Missile
⏩ Right difficulty switch setting has no effect in a one-player variation, and can therefore be in any position at any time.

🌈 Color/BW switch: No effect.

🔄 Rollover: 1,000,000
🏆 Maxout: None
