Fifteenth Eclipse of wandom's Custom Challenge Pack "Zenfinity"
Detonate as many Lightning gems as you can in 1 move, in 1 minute
Impressive, isn't it? ;-)
The one-move requirement may seem as if it would inevitably lead to significantly lower scores than if you were allowed multiple moves to detonate the Lightning gems. But since chain detonations of Lightning gems take so much time, you would want to pile them up and only detonate them all at the end anyway. That, combined with the fact that the final detonation usually outlasts the timer by a few seconds and of course the law of large numbers, also explains why 20 in one minute can be achieved relatively easily compared to 55 in 3 minutes
I would have preferred Flames over Lightnings for this concept. They would have allowed for greater scores and I think the impact of a one-move requirement would have been more perceptible

============================
To be completely transparent, this video is edited. The original video shows a current PB of only 19. I did get a few 20 runs before, but I was not satisfied with them and I also had the feeling that 21 was within reach, so I kept grinding. But even if I had failed to get 21 before due date, I wanted to get at least a "nice" 20 video, so I HEX-edited my profile to display 19 as my current PB (which used to be my PB before 20) just in case I could only manage to get another 20. And then I straight-up got 21. Since I got 21, I did not want it to look like I was improving straight from 19 (I mean, that's not even true) so I spent a significant amount of time editing the video so it shows a current PB of 20 instead of 19. I wanted to make the editing as inconspicuous as possible, which actually required some Python as well, but I think it turned out great. Thank God, there were no Flame detonations in that run, which would have made the editing a lot harder
