Yeah 150k is already good in my books. It's pretty close to my personal record which is around 250k. I did have one 3-4 mil run before I had implemented the leaderboards but the scoring might have been a bit different back then too. Oh and I did pull out one 700k run which I ruined back to zero by a dumb miss play with those minus score skills. And I honestly have no idea how the current #1 spot has achieved that 1 billion score. 🤯
The multiplier multiplies all the score gains. By default you only get score when you "level up" and the amount is based on the empty squares on the board. I didn't feel like explaining this was really necessary. I kinda hate trying to explain things too much cause usually players really don't want to read too much. Probably cause I as a gamer really dislike too lengthy and gameplay interrupting tutorials myself. But I guess throwing a quick message explaining it shortly (like the initial placement messages etc) wouldn't have hurt if timed correctly.
And yeah, transforms and destroys don't do anything else really (on their own). Of course they can be enhanced by some skills to also score or increase multiplier and so on. So destroy basically starts off just like that, making more room to keep playing longer (and having more empty space for bigger scoring too when leveling up).
Thanks for the feedback! ❤️
