120+12n Laser Shot (Every twelve tiles until you finally get it)
n={1,2,...,oo}
Q: Is it possible to come back after dying late it the game?
A: Yes. Try moving to the top of the screen and shooting some tiles
so you can get a speed power-up, this makes dodging much easier.
Also, if you are restarting in a 'Double Missile' section, avoid
shooting the Double Missiles.
Q: Does this game ever end?
A: Yes and No. One version of the game ends after you beat Belzebul the
third time (The Hang On/Astro Warrior multicart). The other versions
never end, the levels just cycle infinitely.
