I have to spend more time figuring out how those dice-like guys work and
judging the difficulty levels, but:

One simple request that won't take up many bytes.  Please have the game
immediately go into screen-saver mode upon death ala Space Invaders and
many other early games.  Have it go out of screen saver not only when you
press reset, but when you press select, so the text at the bottom remains
readable.

It is clear, though, that the game really has much more depth now than
ever before. both in the graphical detail and the gameplay.

Again, please keep the development going on Oystron, the 4K version, if
not now, then take a break and come back to it, not so you can necessarily
add features, but to tune the difficulty and enemy behaviors. This is the
sort of thing that people need time with the game to evaluate. If you
abandon the game then any loopholes or serious problems with gameplay will
be forever unaddressed.

Also, when you send the game up to the list, why not give it the Oystron
filename?
