I've gotten good at this game, although my run had a bunch of mistakes in it still. This is one where a perfect game is totally possible.

Here's my first score: 104,960

My problem with the way Berzerk Recharged does its high score system is the same issue I have with Quantum: Recharged: The bonuses become mandatory for the leaderboards. You get +100% for having one life, +100% for no powerups, and +100 for no dash, meaning a 25,000 score ends up at 100,000. 
Meanwhile, to get 100,000 points without the bonuses you'd have to get so much further through the game as to be impractical. I went further than I'd ever gone before this weekend and ended up with an unmodified 57,000. That woulda been at least 114,000 if I'd just ditched the dash, up to 228,000 if I'd used the full bonuses. It means that in order to get the highest score you HAVE to use the score modifiers, which seems like the wrong way to do it. They should be maybe +25% at best.

221,935, an imperfect but successful run. I am currently #8 on the VCS leaderboards with my personal best, a mere five points above this. 🙂
Here's the run:

Here's the run:
 

Once you get decent at beating the game the scores go quite a bit up. 206,625
You then have to start maximizing your points and (try to) keep the multiplier running.

This game ends for those who don't know, so your score is a reflection of how much you keep your multiplier going during the run and how many things you clear out. It's a cool score-chaser and fun game. Once you beat the game a few times it becomes easier and you can focus on the score-chasing.

Second VCS is hooked up to my computer, third VCS is being used as a livestream box for the church I go to.
