i just played tempest and got to level 35 yellow (about 292,000 points) and i think i did damage to my brain! my eyes hurt! how intense at that level. i got to level 35 and just burned out. ouch!
 
lots of pulsars and something wierd happens with the tankers, when they split. if you dont destroy the flippers right away they quickly turn to fuseballs. so if there's four flippers you can't get to because of the tankers and multiple quick moving pulsars now you have four fuse balls to deal with. it's absolutely insane!!
 
This website has some great tips for playing Tempest, including info on the tankers that really helps when you get to the yellow levels:

Regular tankers contain two flippers. Feel free to shoot them and their cargo with impunity. Fuseball tankers are very dangerous. Shoot them and get out of the way. Pulsar tankers are also very dangerous. Shoot them and stay where you are (the pulsars will appear to either side). You can differentiate between the types of tankers by looking closely at their centers. Fuseball and pulsar tankers have tiny pictures of their cargos in their centers. The ability to instantly differentiate between tanker types is probably the most important ability separating good Tempest players from great Tempest players.
 
Nice! I am still stuck on the last few reds. Sounds like it's time to start playing again. Thanks for the inspiration.
