----------------------------------


In an effort to prevent a two-player game from becoming simply one player dying off quickly and the remaining player playing the game out to a very large score, the following rule has been added, and does not affect current scores on the scoreboard.


The two-player co-op game ends once one of the players has exhausted all lives. Once the "Game Over" message appears for that player, the remaining player may finish out the current wave. Once that wave has been completed, the remaining player must cease control of their player (hands-off control panel), and allow their remaining lives to be killed off. Points received during that final wave, as well as for the extra men being killed off, will be counted towards the final score: the sum of each of the player's scores.
