Star Driller Level Special Excellent Prize Tips?

[Flubberwunked]

Ok this is my third post here and I'm essentially talking to myself whenever I make a post about this game because absolutely nobody is playing it or is bothering to get the platinum and I honestly can't blame them. 

 

As of writing this I'm down to my last two Excellent Prize stamps with them being for Hole of Druaga and Star Driller, but the main focus here is on Star Driller (I'll get to that dreaded 3 hour run through Druaga eventually).

 

Alright so the goal here in Star Driller Level Special is 3 million points, which means reaching about 3000m to 3300m. The furthest I've gotten to is 1700m with all my lives and that's straight up laughable lol. I'm just wondering if there's a certain strategy to earning points, but also playing it safe. I'm just so lost on how to get better at this mode. The really fast falling blocks combined with the small area you're given make it so, so hard to react to. The items you get are all random, so you've got to be even more prepared to adjust to whatever item you got and said item could potentially just screw you over, but you need to collect them as they give you a lot of points. You can never catch a break it seems. You gotta keep moving 24/7 and it's insanely hard to keep up with. World Drill Tour is manageable, but this is seriously insane.

 

I sound like a broken record (mainly to myself), but this is the hardest game I've ever and will probably ever play. This IS the hardest platinum of 2021. Diablo 2 is difficult yes, but it's more of a grind. Mr Driller Drillland just expects so damn much from you. Skill and unfortunately luck are both just as important here. I'm sorry for anyone who has this game on their profile. Yeah the game is amazing, but going for the platinum will make you go mad lol.

I’m gonna do this game one day, probably in 2years.

Im sure it will take another 2 after I start it as well.

”You’re” run for the platinum will come soon enough just gotta stick with it, you obviously got the skill(based on your profile) so it’s just a matter of going deeper into madness.
