Gridwars gameplay questions

[tabithaboof]

I appreciate I am very late on this one but I picked up gridwars (geometry wars clone) a while back and I am really enjoying it but I was wondering what causes the score multiplier to go up? Also any idea what a respectable high score for GW is?

from world of stuart:

"The black holes contain the key to racking up high scores in GW2. Blasting baddies nets you only a few tens of points, and while staying alive and avoiding using your screen-clearing smart bombs will build up a multiplier (the highest your correspondent has ever seen it get is 7x, and letting off a smart bomb scores zero points and resets the multiplier to 1x), it'll still take you forever to break a million points just by wiping out waves of bad guys. What you CAN do with them, however, is "bank" them by luring them into the black holes, and then blow up the black holes by repeatedly shooting them, which scores a LOT more points. The finer workings of exactly how many more still elude this reporter at the time of writing, but if you really stuff one of those little dark stars with evil beasties before you wipe it out, you can easily notch well over 100,000 points from a single supernova"

grid wars is an awesome game when i feel like some opengl punishment heh.
