Well wish me good positive vibes for whenever I do try this again.

With years of time I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting there :)

Yeah, but I have years of time to master this, if I can get to 65k that would be good enough.

What you just said is what fascinates me about this level (it applies to 'The Maze' too). You're getting in the 58k range because it's a very tough level to master. 65k is beyond insane for someone playing only a few hours per stage, I'll say that much. Pushing into the 67k, 68k (and hopefully 69k someday :D) is seemingly almost impossible, but it just will take a long grind from 58k. If you manage to get to 66k, you've won 75% of the battle up to my score.

I may break down and analyse this level in the future, there's many strategies that are out there for improvement here but are hidden if you can hardly ever get a good enough start (that is something that I only get 20% of the time).

I just realized and checked, I'm only 10k away from highscore. I'm not sure if I can find a method to getting above 60k. And I can't find any shortcuts either.

Turns out I did heavily overrate my 66k. Got a 66.8 again and this time the break was awful.

EDIT: 67k after forever. This highscore is still super nuts but I can do it I reckon!

EDIT2: 68k!!! I guess I got lucky :P

Thereâ€™s always imperfections, in every highscore. PineappleDudeâ€™s run here just happens to have a level of execution way ahead of its time (2010-2011). However, though I would never say anything is impossible, I feel like it is highly unlikely that I will go for the highscore or a theoretical 68k run, unless I was severely overrating my high 66k run.

PD will never be beaten here, unless someone gets lucky.

I'm starting to think that this is one of the best highscores ever set. I got a ridiculous break section - basically lost no time, and I had a smooth run all around, and still not even 67k. You're just too good here PD...
