With the 500 second time limit, this is a surprisingly challenging score to try and reach, even if you decide to load a level full to the brim with power-ups, enemies, and anything else that can net you delicious points.<\/p>\n<p>So can it be done? Well, as it happens, yes &#8211; but the creativity needed to pull it off is absolutely off the charts. We&#8217;ll let CeaveGaming explain it in full, but the winning design essentially revolves around &#8216;score batteries&#8217;, where enemies are lined up against Pow Blocks in a particular order to maximise scoring. This then has to coupled with the use of pipes &#8211; by holding down the &#8216;down&#8217; button, players can actually extend the 500 second time limit while resetting all of those enemies over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to try this at home, we hope you&#8217;re ready for a long night in. Apparently, the pipe method can extend the 500 second time limit to more than five hours, and you&#8217;ll need those five hours to secure the points.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gjmNi43OTc8?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Good grief.
