Thanks!
Do you think it would be better to keep the current "final level screen"
with an added "game over" text and then display the hi-score on the title,
or just jump back to the title screen?

Let me know how it feels with and Atari joystick if you get the chance to
try my game with it, since I also don't usually play the game with original
Atari sticks (maybe beacuse they're all broken? :)
