I don't know about the ozric tentacle as I've never got past level 86, but I
do know how to get a big score. On the level where there is a Mandelbrot set
which fires off LOADS of homing missiles, kill off all but the M-set and
run around in circles with your fire direction locked. The Mandelbrot set
and the missiles follow you round and each time you do a circle you can kill
a few missiles. If you get the timing right, you can also let your fire
direction change as you go around so that you don't hit the Mandelbrot set,
but just the missiles. That's the way I know of to get infinite points.
