349,400 how did you people get above 350,000 I was sure. I killed everyone and was careful not to point wrack. Tips???!

A lot of the enemies disappear when you back up, that's how I missed most of them. Otherwise, I was blasting everything around.

356,200

Heh,well dev beat my score by 200 if that makes you feel any better. And as for everyone scoring over 350,it's basically comes down to killing as much stuff as possible. I think Tom killed everything judging by his score.

There's still a slight grey area in the rules, cause if you're advancing more slowly than someone else, you might blast a few more of the enemies that respawn. I'm confident everybody played their run fairly, but we can't really dismiss that little ambiguity. Maybe furthest in the game + lowest score rules might give another taste to a future heavy barrel contest.

You just have to be careful to kill EVERYTHING. I know for sure that I missed several enemies, and still broke 350,000. So, if you're up for another go, just pay attention to any enemies that come up from behind or in front of you, if you scroll too fast, you miss 'em.

On my first go-through when i scored 350,000 and change, i def missed some things, like the guns on level 2 and 6, and on level 5 all the spacemen (i dunno, jetpack guys?) and some other stuff near the end of the level, bc i ran away, fast

on my 2nd time beating it, i made sure i killed EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING, thats how i got the 356K

Yep, those jetpack guys. I avoided several of them on that elevator after dying, just trying to survive until I got a new weapon. Aside from them, I killed everything, sans a few that disappeared on me.
