144. Game is very fun! Given your current leaderboard, may come back for a second playthrough and see if I can get top 10 ;) Boosts are a big deal, of course, but the exponential enemy speed growth means that past level 14ish it doesn't much matter if your speed gets another ~2% improvement-- nitros (and maybe drills, haven't used those effectively yet) are the only things keeping you alive. Also for the last several levels of a run, when you're barely making it each time, coins are where your points come from. And when you know you're dead, it's time to fetch coins till the ref calls the game on account of everyone else finishing.
Pretty happy to make it this high on the leaderboard on my first try, though D: I could probably have gotten another 1st place with better early play in terms of boost collection and mid-game nitro usage.
Thank you for playing my game and sharing your score. I included you into the high-score-table. Congratulations, you are currently on rank 16. 144 points are a very good score considering that it was your first try. I am very curious, how high you can climb on the leaderboards! Have you already tried the graphical version of RunToTheStairs? It looks much better, but requires a modern browser which is supporting WebGL 2.0.
I like your analysis of my game. In fact the game has several phases where different items are of different value and different tactics have to be applied. But there are no hard borders between these phases. Getting a sense for these phases is crucial for getting a high score. Also you have to make a tradeoff between using nitros for finishing in good positions in early levels vs. using them for pure survival in later levels.
