Tons of patience to manipulate enemies so they kill themselves or despawn. It is a BORE!

I would have done this progress + low score, but from a personal experience, that takes TOO DAMN LONG and it is too damn boring to do.

I'd have to use speedrun rules for it. I remember the scoring system being broken.

And it is always good when there is a close competition,

Adjusted the participation threshold to make it easier to get in one life.

You can pause when you respawn to get your score, since this is a 1 life only contest.

Changed the rules so that you can't point press the bosses.

Yeah, that would be point pressing and I will add a rule nerfing it. I think I will allow at most 3 minutes of farming the millipede on each round. Thoughts about it?

I am glad you all had fun this week. The idea was to make it fast to do so no large time commitment was needed, and to spice things up so people could find spots and mechanics they could exploit to achieve a higher score. I will work on keeping things like that in many of the games we will be running this year.
