I made it 9 or 10 rounds to 73000 or so. I just barely missed the last target with my last shot and I have to admit I was kind of relieved that I didn't have to keep playing. What's funny about this is that this is just a dressed up version of the game that came with PCs back in the 80s as an example of how to program in BASIC.

Jerry,
I do not work for shurtape other than as a supplier. My outfit is BASF (spelled just like it sounds). At least I did this morning before playing around on the internet here at work.

Oh well, barely missed on my last shot in round twelve, 126,700.

Doug, do Alt+Print Screen, then you can paste it wherever you want (like mspaint).

166,100 on my first try - the sad result of too many hours in the 80's arcades and high school computer labs
(I finished level 15 too, always had a few rounds left but not sure how you top 200K!?!)
Of course, my hand is raised for aiming at 'a' and hitting 'b'

Has anyone other than me plotted the coordinates to all the targets?

Nope. My approach was to bracket the furthest target, then to just increase angle on the next few until I got to near 75 degrees. After that I would increase the angle a little, and decrease the charge as well.
