Maybe A Score Category?

I was thinking that we could do a category about trying to get the highest score possible or would that not be reasonable? (say, if there was a max possible score)

that might be a good idea... but I'd have to do the math on max score. Isn't it 10 damage tiles per stage?

Did some math and found out that one part of the max score is 37200. This is the max amount of points you can get from dmg tiles (including when they are spammed at the end). However when your final score is shown, it's above what ever you had before. example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oARy8BmIRHbzrfvDB4lpNwXbVRzgPA2U/view?usp=sharing At 4:06 my score is 32200 but when the screen displaying my score is show it says 46600. this means that there is some score calculation based on another factor such as time which means that having a max score category would be a challenge to have a WR in, but not impossible. Also Only the DD Glitch would work in this category, the new one would skip the dmg tile spam losing you pts. Also we would need somebody to go File Digging to find out the added score after the bunnies, unless somebody wants to do a bunch of test runs.

this max score category is sounding better and better by the minute.

it's important to note that, although the Double-Damage glitch would be viable for such a category, taking damage also resets your multiplier, which means that you would have to find a trade-off between when the time bonus is large enough to counteract the decrease in score from having to build your multiplier up again. I thought the end-game time bonus had been found/calculated before, but I'll have to do a bit of digging to see if there's any such documentation. But hey, if high score is something enough people want to run, it could lead to some interesting new strats and discoveries! I'm happy to expand this game's leaderboard as much as the relatively small playerbase can handle!
