I didn't rack up points; I just went as fast as possible, as you suggested. However, after you mentioned a strategy to follow, I took your advice. I managed to defeat the same enemy multiple times using the transition technique (specifically, the left enemy on the stairs level), accumulating a significant amount of 10-second bonuses and achieving the best time of 219.46 seconds.
I also encountered some transition bugs during my gameplay. I'm unsure why, but there were instances when the menu restart function didn't work properly, forcing me to exit the page and reload the game. I even experienced a situation where an enemy was able to attack me because I was trapped between the floor and an outside area, limiting my movement to left and right. The crawl area had the most issues with transitions.
Although I appreciate the fluid movement of the main character, I find it a bit unrealistic that enemies don't immediately strike. The player has to approach them within a certain distance before they start attacking. I could literally position myself above them, and they wouldn't retaliate. However, I do enjoy the fact that most enemies are easy to defeat, with the exception of the final one who delivers a beating.
It would be a welcome addition to have health hearts placed in empty spaces if you decide to adjust the difficulty level, which is currently well-balanced for the surprise factor.
Wishing you the best in improving your game! :D
