Hard to believe it’s still working.

Pretty impressive one of the games I played years ago still works after no updates for 7 years. There’s no sound but gameplay is great. Love this game.

Can’t get past level 115

Good nostalgia. Level 115 is bugged (enemies stop spawning), and so you can’t get past it.
