While I think there is much more room for improvement regarding my playthrough, I've seen people being upset about the difficulty of this game and favoring a score of 100+ as something special one can achieve.

I was able to pull it off in a short recording session of around 20 minutes. The RNG can be pretty punishing, but there are several ways to make a playthrough last longer.

Past score of around 30, additional bombs will start to target your position constantly. To deal with that issue, you need to move around the screen a lot in order to not get locked in a position where you can't escape. Following the shark after it spawns is a good way of covering the screen safely and make room for escape.

My usual route is: Shark spawn - Follow + cover screen , then repeat again. You can still get locked due to unfavorable RNG by the randomized bomb drops overlapping with the targeting ones. The shark might also not spawn right away past the screen cover. I end up doing a lot of blind jumps hoping that I will land right behind it right after spawn. Even if the spawn is delayed, one should still do a screen cover reset and hope a fast shark spawn doesn't ruin it. Well, you can just jump over it really, but it kind of screws your momentum.

Once the big waves start kicking it, it can get even trickier with you being tossed all over the place or having your jump being reduced due to low to high wave jump attempt. It is very easy to get hit by a shark in that situation. Also, a wave can toss you right into a spawning bomb above you.

Not a very easy game, but I am happy that I can somewhat managed, despite my old age.
