When there's only very few (say 4 or less) invaders left, and you have

they can run into the explosion of their forerunner.
Well, I wouldn't fix this. It's even sort of realistic. Also, I think
having something funny like that for the player to discover adds to
the charme of the game. (Actually I spent the last 20 minutes to see
wether I can take out the last three invaders with a single shot :-)
...didn't succeed - yet...)
I saw this with the previous version. Personally I feel this should be
fixed, as in my opinion:
1) It's unexpected behavior, especially if this is the only time it
occurs. It will likely appear as a "bug" to some people.
2) The last invaders move the fastest, adding to the challenge of the
game. If you can shoot the second-to-last invader and have the last
one explode as well, there goes some of the challenge.
3) It's a deviation from the arcade game. :)
Take care,
..Al
