RESCUE TERRA I
The maximum score you can get is 9,340,500, due to a kill screen that occurs after wave 48. {Garrett Holland}
There is a maximum time you can spend on one game. There is no such thing as a marathon for this title. You will always either run out of lives or reach the kill screen, no matter how perfect or imperfect you play. {Garrett Holland}
You cant gain lives faster than you expend them. {Garrett Holland}
The maximum points in one wave anyone can get and die on the same wave is 9,750. {Garrett Holland}
With every death, you are closer to your game being over than you were at the previous death. {Garrett Holland}
It is impossible to gain 2 lives between deaths on the same wave. {Garrett Holland}
No matter how much and how good you point press, you are guaranteed to lose a life every 40th iteration of a round, eventually leading to game over, unless you pass wave 48. {Garrett Holland}
The maximum score you can get without point-pressing (a perfect score, clearing all 48 waves and losing no lives) is 204,750, so any score ever achieved on this game that exceeds 204,750 involves point-pressing either intentionally or unintentionally. {Garrett Holland}
