However, I have discovered a way to overcome the rapid loss of androids. For a successful completion you must position Android 2 at the bottom of the screen (Flatlands) where the maze can be more easily assessed. You will find that the millitoids all try to enter the maze, so they become easy targets. To prove that I have completed the game, you will find that Android 2's task begins again, yet this time the Bouncers etc are at least 3 times faster.'
