Wow! What a fantastic game! I could tell immediately that it was gonna be fun, and when the extra jobs got added in it was so crazy. My only critique is that I think maybe you should be given a slight bit of leeway with the AI catching you. Well done!

Thank you for the kind words! The score is calculated by using specific "control" points that's generated when the word is displayed (each word is taken from a huge list of like 2000 names, the full name is shown on screen but the control points are very few and are generated dynamically). Then we find the closest drawn point to any control point, find the distance between, and add this up for all control points. It's a little more complicated than this in reality but that's the gist of it! Thanks again for playing!
This is by far the most fun game I have played in this whole jam. The idea is brilliant, the art is quirky, the gameplay is fun, I love it! Its amazing you even added a tutorial!
It seems like you can cheese the AI by hiding far to the left, more often than not the AI goes off to the right and you can score easy shots. My only REAL complaint is that it doesn't feel like theres any impact when you hit the player, so you end up just shooting until something happens.
That being said, I still enjoyed (and played) this game a lot. I started on endless mode with the goal of reaching 50k score... then 100k, then 200k... I think my final score was 206571 before I decided I broke the game enough. My ship was so small the shotgun blasts were 10 times the size (try and spot it! its near the middle on the top part of the screen), my cooldowns so low the laser blast was instantaneous, and my screen so full of enemy waves and elite enemies that I only had 2FPS. The player would spawn and then die only a few frames later, I didn't need to press anything. Spectacular.
Honestly, this is amazing. Absolutely well done!

1 million. I needed it.
