scoring the 500 pts without dying
Is there a way to rack up more points? Example, what I am wondering is, should I keep black holes open and simply 'control' them? Let them suck in enemies, then bring them down? If I do this, sometimes it seems to make the game easier (but sometimes, much harder).

Here's my question:

Do you get more points in a shorter amount of time if you let the black holes fill up then destroy them? I have come back to this game and geo 2 to try and get all the achievements after years.

Any help/advice would be appreciated! Thank you.

Re: scoring the 500 pts without dying
In GW1, the black holes are usually better off destroyed. It won't help you get more points, just give you another task. Get rid of them as soon as you can. The only way to get points faster in this game is to keep killing enemies to increase your multiplier. In this game, your multiplier resets if you die. Basically, if you're intent on getting the achievements, make good use of your bombs (just don't run out) until you get to the 1 million mark without dying. That, and practice, practice, practice.

For a visual aid, check out this no-bombs video I made. Basically, I played as far as I could without using bombs. The key to note here is, other than noting my strategies, every time I die in the video is a point at which you should bomb :) VIDEO LINK
