Can do. When I created that challenge, it was a lot easier than it is 
now. I don't really know why, maybe because of some changes in the 
movement code.

There were quite a few places in the levels where you could exploit this 
(my personal highscore was 152,000,000 btw ;-) ), and I thought I 
removed all of them. If someone can tell me the exact place, I'll remove it.

You're right, I simply forgot about the boxes... except for one cave 
level (End of the Tunnel, I think), there is a cool secret involving 
breakable boxes. :-)
As for the fish: When I worked on the levels I couldn't get the fish to 
work properly; either that was a bug or I was just too stupid. ;-) 
Anyway, they seem to work now, but they aren't used... something for the 
TODO list.
