I'm pretty sure it won't save high scores. This idea with the stars moving
while playing sounds really interesting. Do they continuously move? What
does the game look like during this? Sounds like a cool hack to make if it
looks good.

Yes they show just as between screens but for the whole wave. Also while
you cannot save high scores while in demo mode, you can turn demo mode off
once you've already started the wave and this bug/trick WILL allow you to
save high scores!
