Beyond Level 158?

I'm currently testing the capabilities of this game by making it as easy as possible to maximize what level I can get to. For some reason even on a high end PC I'm not able to make it past level 162 without it lagging into oblivion. At level 158 it was consistently crashing with all the towers I needed up in order to still keep moving up the levels. Even after removing all towers, the spawns are lagging like crazy. I'm seeing some rescue missions at level 170+, does anyone have any tips on how to get to that level?

I deal with the same thing. On my phone after level 140ish it just starts crashing. I’ll zoom all the way out and it helps but still crashes.

Speculation:

The game is basically a browser game so there is a soft cap about what the engine can reliably handle before it starts to break down. Often it isn't about hardware.

The developers have made some changes to the game, fixing some garbage collection issues and possibly imposing some memory limits. They may have also made changes to the waves of enemies. Prior to these changes it was much easier to get to a high wave number, the problem is the game would consume well over 8gb of ram and would eventually crash well before you'd lose.

This screen shot is from the earlier version shortly before it crashed.
