It seems I can not get past level 9. It just kicks my arse. I can make it through the brain wave with only losing one life but after that it is down hill quickly. I concentrate on the circles that shoot the ships out when the level starts then I try to save the family members then I go after the grunts. By level 9 the start of the level is so overpopulated with enemies that I do not see a way out after that. Any tips are appreciated.
 
as the grunts materialize, shoot/head towards the least populated area and shoot back the other way once you've cleared a path!

For level 9, right before everything starts to move, you need to quickly look to see where the best way is to make it to the outside of the screen.... whether its top, bottom, left, or right,... whichever way has a clearer path. Once you get to the outside of the screen, you need to just keep circling around the outside of the screen. Definitely watch for those "circles", but don't keep in mind that those other enemies get really fast on this level.

I cant remember what level I've gotten to, but my high score is 1.6 million.

Sorry if that sounds confusing... it's kind of hard to explain.

Hope this helps.

Level 9 is not so bad once you get past it a few times.
When the robot's fade onto the screen at the beginning of the level there is always at least one diagonal path that has fewer bots.
That's your path make it to an edge and you should have more luck.
