The autofire indeed breaks the scoring system. If you just hold the fire button down the resulting autofire isn't nearly as effective than if you keep tapping the fire button at a high rate. So you want to get an autofire-enabled controller to get around that.
This however breaks the scoring system, as the indestructible enemies starting at 0:38 give you points for every bullet hit. It's possible to score almost 3 million points with a good autofire controller.
Thank you... We are designing a "Caravan" mode in our game and I was researching how they are often done, not to copy, but to make sure I am doing what shooter fans may expect from it.
"It's my best and most likely last run of the game's 2-minute mode, as the game's scoring system has been found to be broken."

so is this mode the same as the regular game play, just limited in time?

The stage is exclusive to the 2/5 minute modes, and it's designed to fit scoreplay better.
