* HOW TO PLAY * ---- * READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING *

The basic goal is to prevent the monsters from crossing the base.
If any monster reaches the other side and destroys their target,
you will lose.

Your main weapon, the railgun, starts with an ammo limit of 100.
If you stop firing for a few seconds, the ammo automatically recharges.
When your ammo runs out, you'll be able to keep firing at a much
slower rate. Allowing your railgun to recharge is most often
preferable.

Shoot soulspheres to gain bonuses. The soulspheres disappear after a
while, so don't let them go to waste. Example bonuses include
a temporary ammo boost, increasing your maximum ammo, and speeding
up the gun's recharge.
Some bonuses directly effect enemies, so it's often better to wait
for enemies to arrive on-screen before shooting a soulsphere. Just
remember not to wait too long or you'll lose the bonus.

There are 20 rounds. Round 19 and 20 are the only ones I've been
unable to beat myself. I've come close to beating round 19.
Round 20 is very nearly impossible.

My high score is 28000. Try to beat it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is almost impossible if you play with the
keyboard, as the railgun doesn't autoaim. Use the mouse.
