Hehe if you look at the code, you'll see why. The animation and movement was time based, but the pirate spawn is not. So if you have a faster comp, more pirates come at you :].
And it’s not that hard at all. The trick is to watch the pirates not your own ship and they are easy to dodge. Don’t try to shoot them, just dodge while holding down fire. I got 128,559 points.
