Well, I didn't figure it out yet, but I reached 14675; but my PCAE is
configured to 50 fps (that's PAL frequency, 'cause I live in Austria)...

O.K., let's start... Why do bombs and hit men have to fall with constant
speed? According to gravity, they'd have to speed up while falling.
The endgame sequence looks very cute, but everything flickers heavily.
Do you use the 2nd player, too?
I think there could be some fine-tuning to the scoring scheme. Hitting
the planes is worth, about 300 points it was, I think, while you get far
less for the paratroopers. Considering the planes aren't any danger (by
now, that is...), they shouldn't be worth that many points.
