That enemies are immune to the player's fire while rezzing in is the
desired behavior (they don't block shots, so fire right through them at
other targets). They should not just disappear, however. Level 2 is
possible (follow the advice--run away!), but many people seem to have
problems with it, so I may change it.

As one progresses, various power-ups drop, including a speed one, so the
ship *does* eventually move faster.

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, and the game currently dumps the highest score attained to hs.dat, a
plain text file in the script's directory.
