Great work on the highscore system! would be great with a little more juice though! and an ability to replay the game - i had to refresh the entire page to play again... okay i just read the below comments, and you said the highscores are "local" score.. if its local.. whos Dev with 80m?... haha. how come you didnt make it online leaderboard? would be great to see what other people come.

'Dev' is me. That score is hardcoded in and was the highest I have ever got in the game (in an earlier build). The whole score being in the scoreboard before you even get anything was originally a bug which I adjusted and made a feature. (So following the classic programmer mantra.)
I don't have the expertise to get web hosting and a backend (I have made client-side web code before but no backend experience other than a VERY simple Flask app) working within 3 days so I just made the scores local. I could do a manual online leaderboard by having people email me their "highscores.json" and putting it on my gitlab pages site. (https://infinity48.gitlab.io/)
