Finally, after over 100 attempts FINALLY managed to beat the game in 2P solo. Wow, that was much harder than getting PP

Good job completing one of the most annoying challenges in the game

Thank you! Still have to unblock those items too but I won't worry about that for now . I'd love to go for Snow Bomb but sadly I still have two quests to finish, where one requires a Co5 and one a Co6

Wow, what a run! Got my second [lien=https://i.imgur.com/ipaubWx.png]Pyramid Pass[/lien] at long last and came within 400k of my all time high score. Feels good to be back

Third pyramid pass and a new ALL TIME HIGHSCORE - 4.886.438. Getting closer to that elusive 5 MILL

I think getting and then trying to finish your game as well as possible is a great way to get new high scores at a certain skill level.
When I started doing Hell runs, I immediately went for 3m in Hell, which means ~2.3m in 54. Granted, I did it for the lives, and it comes from a time where I only had 1 game per day and had to make it count.
But it set me up for a good score when I left Hell.
I remember one game where I had a really good run, I got with 3.8m points and 8 extra lives left, and just decided to try and end it with as good a score as possible. That game ended with a score of ~6m I think, even though I hadn't ever even gotten to 5m before.

Definitely, as long as you can survive hell, you're in for a good score run, by default. The thing is I usually skip PD0, 2, and 15 (let alone 33, 43, 46, or 51) when I do hell runs which means that I have far lower scores going in.

Lots of people nowadays just do a very quick Pre-Hell to complete a lot more attempts in a given time. It may very well be more efficient. In the end it's a matter of personal preference. I did dimensions purely for the lives.
So only 3, 11, 26, 43 and 51. Some people even did dim15. But at some point you'll have to include in your score rune anyway, or the Howling Metal at least.

I can see the benefits of doing those, for sure. I usually do 3, 6, 11, 16, and 25. Any reason you prefer 26 over 25?

The reason I take dimensions is to get lives through letters and points. Apart from not giving any letters, dim 25 is also quite risky. When the pears die, my game gets a big lag spike, and a lot of the time I either die from pear bombs, or at least fail the challenge at that point.
I also don't take dims 6 and 16, since I can get 3m without them and they make me miss out on extra letters in levels 7 and 17 respectively.
