Loved playing this, great job! Experimenting with playing fast and slow was fun, and this feels like one of those games that are easy to learn but hard to master.

Thanks. I think I need alot of experimentation to get it into a good place. But I think its a good foundation.
You definitely want to play fast, but also need to plan to pick up some multipliers.
Right now if you just played as fast as possible, never slowing down, but didn't pick up any mutlipliers then the max score is about 2000. But if you can build up a 50x muiltiplier and then start moving fast the score can easily get into 30k+. The cell tiers are not super obvious but if you can get a few cells to a high tier you can build a multiplier very quickly. That is how I got my current highscore. Spent about 30 seconds just trying to build up a few tiers and got a multiplier to about 100x. Then just started cruising as fast as I could.
Trying to balance that and communicate it has been challanging.
I'm hoping to get this mode in a fun state. But I have ideas for other modes/playstyles.
