RE: [pygame] Frantic 0.9.7a

Thanks for the feedback.  Yes, the power of the white powerup (laser
burst) is it's range.   Turn slowly in small increments and wipe out
enemies all the way to the extents of the screen.  It's not as good up
close as the other two.

And I concur with your assessment of the blinking blue enemies - they
get me every time :-)
