Major bug

[Pgrrrr]

I really like this game even if I find its excessive randomness distressing. I must draw the attention of the developers to a game-ruining bug, however. I have the second highest score of all time, this being 200,000-odd and, honestly, I could have gone on for as long as my patience held out.

The optimal way of getting high scores is to create a walled-off section at the bottom to contain all of the centipedes which have dropped to the bottom because they hit a poisoned mushroom. I am sure most if not all of the highest scores achieved have come about in this way, certainly mine were. Yesterday, a perfectly walled-off section was created so that the centipedes would scurry about in the rightmost three-quarters of the screen while I was almost entirely safe in the leftmost quarter. There was a solid wall of mushrooms between me and them. The centipedes could not get to me. Almost the entire screen, except on the left, was filled with mushrooms. The only danger to me was from falling fleas and crawling spiders. Of course, I also could not reach the centipedes to shoot them, at least not without breaking down the wall of mushrooms. I was able to keep racking up points by just shooting scorpions and fleas.

I should say that I did not deliberately pursue this strategy. It came about by chance. But most of my highest scores seem to have involved something similar happening, with a wall of mushrooms shielding the player from centipedes at the bottom, even if the seal is not usually perfect, as it was in this case.

This bug has sort of ruined the game for me so I hope it will be fixed.

This bug is still there in the latest version of the game.
