unfortunately the game crashed after I caught 4 bats with my net, and I could have kept going indefinitely... the moustache is invincible (that's how I call my net, shouldn't be too hard to figure out how it should work)
good luck
how I got the badge:
CROSS YOUR HANDS!
left hand has the arrow keys, right hand has wasd. your brain likes it much more this way. the downside is, that the space bar is an uncomfortable position (i used my right pinky), but you should be able to get to 80 every time if you do the following:
focus your eyes on the blue bar, and control the red ball and the green field from the corner of your eye.
after 80 move the pink triangle as little as possible, keep pressed if low obstacles and leave unpressed if high obstacles.
I got to 196 after a few times (the game gets harder at 120 & 180).
Good Luck!
this has got to be the worst game I've played on kongregate. 1/5
(auxiliary turrets suck, and potentially can kill you by "forwarding" asteroids; the "timer" is so wrong, it's nearly arbitrary - 12 min aka 720 seconds in real life was 532 seconds in-game)
HATE!
game isn't bad, level E is too hard on keyboard (controls should be relative to line), on the other hand: hard badge too easy (I got 179 on the first serious try, that's mor'n a factor 5 - I don't think I'm that much better than a hard-badge should be) 4/5
if you want me to doomsurf 60 seconds, then make the badge 60 seconds. but i stopped my watch, surfed for 1:10 or 70 seconds and the ingame-clock was only 31!
I have the badge, so I won't complain as vociferously, but GET THE TIMER RIGHT!
tip 1: keep playing (with "continue")! you get the 3000 basically for free in later levels, even if you die every once in a while.
tip 2: keep the radar in sight at all times, then it's easier to find openings. do this especially against the boss - then you know where to go to avoid him.
tip 3: shoot ahead of you when you try to break a circle, otherwise keep them trailing behind you.

I couldn't see any effect in leveling the engine but I divided (e.g.) 12 points: 6 weapon, 4 shield, 2 engine. get your weapon above 85 for the boss.
the idea itself is nice, but the keyboard-controls as they're implemented do not fit this game. if you'd done it relative to the line instead of relative to the screen, you wouldn't lose a lot of difficulty, except the mindnumbingly annoying task of doing circles with only 8 possible directions.
you should be able to exit challenges. it is incredibly annoying to wait for example for your "shield" to die.
generally speaking the game is alright, but too often you loose because of the stupidity of your robots. 2/5
traditionally, 600 seconds is 10 minutes. I looked at my watch, and let it crash after 11 minutes - result: 565 seconds. what the f**k?! get your timer right!
