Assuming you have bonus economist, bonus magnet, and telekinetic; you should do fine. With constant killing, and luck; you should be able to survive much longer with bonuses.
Some tips about bonuses:
-One bonus only appears at one time until it is obtained or lost, except point bonuses, they drop about 3-4 times on the screen at once.
-If you get them quickly, chances are more will spawn, and you will have more time with them.
-Energizer doesn't work in the long long run.
-Bonuses save your ass
-Always be on the lookout, even on the corner of your screen, but try not to run into a hoarde of monsters while doing so.
-Ignore bonuses like fire blast and bonus points when you reach about 3m+
-Freeze and Shield are only dropped on the field when you don't have it active on you.
This isn't a noobie guide, it's a guide for who has played and know what they do, so i'm gonna skip the details about what they do. I'll suggest tips on how to use them efficently.
Shield and Freeze = The ultimate combination. One must not try to gather these bonuses too quickly, for only one of them is good enough to keep you alive for the remainder of time it gives. Shield lasts about twice as long as Freeze, so if the two drop at once, do not pick them both up. Choose what you think would be best: pick up the freeze, wait until it wears off or until the shield is about to fade away, then pick the shield up; or pick up the shield and have them crowd over you, sit next to the freeze, wait until the shield runs out or until the freeze is about to go away. If you pick up both at once, you'll be shielding yourself from frozen blocks, and wasting precious survival time. So call it "juggling" if you will, to juggle them back and forth you can survive longer with less luck involved.
Shock Chain = Better than nuke when used correctly. A tight bunch of monsters will get constantly zapped to death if it keeps bouncing around, so just hope it goes in the right direction. Best used with Shield, they all move around you, stand next to a shock chain, hope the shock moves into the clutter, zaps all of them multiple times until the shock chain itself runs out if you're lucky.
Nuke = Just blows em up nicely. Sometimes spits out super guass bullets. It can still damage them in the very high points, sometimes the nuke won't even appear for some reason.. but don't worry it still hits them, even if it's just a scratch or a tickle.
Fire bullets = Does alot of damage. Need i say more? rip some monsters apart!
Fireblast = Just sucks. I wouldn't bother getting it in the long run at all, just ignore it.
Point bonuses = Meh, get them if you need them. Super-useful in the beginning.
Speed = Wheeeee!!!
Energizer = Eat em up! doesn't work too well in the long run.
Double Experience = What do you think?
Reflexive Boost = This actually increases your speed in the game, infinite ammo, easy-to-dodge. This bonus may be aggrivating to use but after awhile you will rely on the slow speed and infinite ammo it delivers. Good thing you can stack up on this perk!
Weapon drop = Not really a bonus.
