What's a continue and how does it work?

 

Crap, I only have a sealed copy. Looks like I will be opening a new box.

 

Once you pass a certain score, say 40,000 for example, then the next game will start you at the 30,000 mark, unless you choose not to use continues

Vocelli: 429105

 

Incredible feat of programming. 5 Spiders at once and so much more. Kudos to this game!

 

Don't think I will beat my childhood score of 509K... reflexes aren't that fast.

Must play wiser...smarter... and ponder each move.....

Ok Just shooting works best and it's a thumb KILLER!
