Alright, this bug is fixed in git. I'll try to get a new release with the fix out soon. In the meantime, the workaround is to beat the mission before the time limit runs out. :)

You know, I don't know why I forgot about this. This is a bug that has always existed, I think. And what's more, it doesn't even work as it should if it's fixed, because the game hasn't been programmed to accept it as a failure condition.

Perhaps I should just remove it. I'm not so sure it's a great design choice, anyway.

Never mind, I see what the problem is. It's script13.txt; what it's supposed to be doing is causing Ursula to run away (and thus a mission failure), but it's doing something else to a different ship. I will fix this.

Huh, that's peculiar.

When you say you see "128" on the top of the screen, where exactly do you mean? As in, what would normally be there?

Also, could you send your save file you use just before starting the mission? (It's under the .parallelrealities folder in your home directory.)

I forget the name of the mission, but during the one where you rescue Ursula there is always one ship that freezes. I cannot do any damage to that ship; it just stays there forever ignoring my shots. I can only complete the mission by abandoning the second objective.

I was able to reproduce this bug two other times by restarting the mission. In the first case the frozen ship was a rocket-ship shaped one, the other two cases were the red mushroom ships.

This may or not be related, but I see "128" show up on the top of the screen every time.
