Game broke at 150 levels

Was doing really well but the game froze after wave one on level 150 which was annoying, wish that could be fixed for me.

Hard to believe itโ€™s still working.

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