I DID say it was a "flawed performance" :) The Round 13 death was stupidity, I was trying to hurry up since time can run out fast on that level when you're going for the bonus stars and the million-point flag... so I dropped down in front of that rock thinking I could wipe out the grunts fast enough, or even if I screwed up, they wouldn't hit me... it happens sometimes, stand next to a rock and they'll charge at you, but won't hit for some reason. This time they did. :P (and why was I "hurrying" anyway? So I could try to pick up any extra time bonuses before Big Scary Blob of Death [tm] comes along, since once the timer hits 0, all they're good for is a 2000 bonus... every second counts since enemies are quite frequent on that round and let you build your Rank bonus a bit)(posted 9134 days ago)and yes, the Round 17 leeching was pretty weak. Trust me, I was trying NOT to die before Big Scary Blob of Death appeared. :)
