Whew, got it. 1,040,160, took just under an hour in easy mode, thanks to the poster who suggested that. Definitely took some brain rewiring from more Bejeweled-ish games like Artifracture.
(One thing I wasn't sure about, and I'm still not sure if I was doing it optimally - whether to use the switch ASAP once powered up (pushing up the screen first of course) so you could get started charging it again, or save it for use as a panic button.)
Would also be interested to know what happens to the score of a game in progress if you have the connection issues many have mentioned. I pretty much stopped trying once I hit the benchmark because playing longer felt like risking that score not getting saved.
Aaand going to claim it, saw I got the 28-days-80-health one too. (I usually only feed up to 82% and occasionally whoops myself out of my bonus, so I was mildly tense about resetting the clock on that one. Glad to have it over with.)
Thanks for the info. In that case, I vehemently repeat my support for some type of 'soft save' option that would reduce the pain/impact of connection problems while playing this game without reducing the challenge factor (already done somewhat since the achievement was nerfed).
