ok, new highscore is:

martek: 152579 Points

that must have taken some time! please, only post your highscores if you get a higher one that this and btw, sometimes the game is harder and sometimes easier, because the more players are on the server, the stronger the monsters get. combine that with this bug and the monsters get harder the longer the server stays online, until it's full forever. the next version will maybe have a display that tells you how many players the server thinks there are.

i just got another idea:
what do you think of a version 0.56 that switches to A7.80 public beta and fixes a few bugs? i know that you'd rather see new features, but this would fix many of the "connection losts"
