Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

If you hold down on the joystick while playing in panic mode, 500 points will be added to your score every few seconds. This should help you get extra men quicker but will also place you in more danger since there will be more bubbles coming onto screen.PAlso in panic mode, if you go without shooting anything for the amount of time it takes for the background song to repeat, you will automatically get 10,000 points, but the speed of the balls with suddenly become extremely fast.PIn tour mode, if you set the board for one life per game, you can easily pass all the levels by switching to player twos side when you die as player one, and player ones side when you die as player one. The levels will not start completely over every time you die.
