125,952 I finished the game today. It loops to the beginning and the number of enemies increases. The big points are in the last stage where you can collect various treasures. There's also a 50,000 point bonus at the end.

41,090 I started this one up years ago and dismissed it, but now that I've taken the time to learn how to play this it's pretty good.
