  The quick answer is yes and the score maxes out at 99,990 just in case you get there.
 
How long did that run take you??

I started playing right around 1:00 and posted my picture as soon as I maxed the score out, so a little over four hours.

 

Yikes. Welp... I better get started!

This was an early run, on Sunday. I thought I'd have beaten it by now, so I waited. D'oh.

Good job! You must really want that arcade genre icon!

How long was that run to level 45?

Also, I had an update to my score.

Yeah.  I figured I got three of them this year, might as well go for one more.

I'd guess it took close to 4 hours over a 8 hour period.  I started this morning before the kid got up.  After getting the kid off to school and dinking around with a few other things, I played the rest.

You're probably safe from me giving it another shot this week. You beat me by 5 levels and I really don't have it in me to put together another 4 hour run just for a chance at retaking the lead.

Well damn, I'm sitting here paused with around 25k, thinking 27k was still the high score. Boy am I behind. Not sure I want to put 3 more hours into this, I might just take my current score as participation, lol.

There must be a fake wall somewhere.  Not all walls that will disapear look different.  If you just stand there for a minute or two, I'm sure you'll figure it out...

Score updated. A modest update, but enough to jump me a few spots It looks like skinnygrinny is closing the 3rd place gap a bit. Let's get it going, guys!

Lol. I can't figure it out. Ran out of time on the same map again. I shot every piece of wall. Like in doom when you just go around the walls hitting the space bar. "Ugh". 

Is there a power up I might need or some kind of power attack. I even looked online at the map layout and I still couldn't figure it out. I know I'm going to be really embarrassed when/if I figure this out.

Nope, no power ups that I know of.  There's no real trick, it's just a simple trick!

Another update. I wasn't playing too well towards the end of that run. Could have more calmly focused on food, but got caught up in grabbing points as death loomed. This might be my last submission, even 23k points take a chunk of time.

I'm wondering if anyone else will max out the score. That second one still took me almost four hours even though I did it in 12 fewer levels.

You won't make it if you keep going backwards! You had 37k yesterday in the picture where you were stuck, but your score that you have posted now is only 32k.
