Hi Anton and all Planetary Defenders ;),
Sorry for the delayed response but I'm a bit more busy in those days...

Thanks for the report, It should be fixed now...just reload the new version
using View desktop

That is not a bug, all scores in the hi-score table should be exact. It is
just a side effect of "scrolling" score numbers...this effect is a bit
confusing when you are hit more targets in a little time before game over so
the on-screen scrolling numbers are a bit delayed...especially the tens and
ones. I decided to remove the scroll code to eliminate this optical
confusion ;)
