Thanks! I should add a final score screen thingy to give you more time to record your score. I just did a perfect run through it, and I scored 6225. Har har, its not resetting your score when you die. :P

My highest score in BubbMan is 16050.. and that wasn't a perfect run either :( Could have gotten maybe 16500 or so. A few glitches but a fun mini-game :)

No matter how advanced graphics technology becomes, you'll never beat the good ol' NES games. ;-) Pure fun, real games.

No matter how advanced graphics technology becomes, we're always searching for nostalgia.
