Hey donkey show, there's something weird going on with the scoring system in the challenge level "No Drain, No Gain". I really enjoy the level's design, and after countless tries, I finally managed to get a perfect run (grabbed
all bubbles in a single multiplier chain), but the score I ended up with was 2,000 points below the top score.
I was confused, and ran the level again. I aced it and all that, but I missed a few bubbles and broke my chain once. I also finished a few seconds slower than I did on my perfect run. That time, however, I somehow ended up with a score that was higher than both my perfect run score and the top score.
I captured video of both attempts, and I'm uploading them now (I've got fairly "eh" internet though) to maybe see what caused the strange discrepancy in scoring. If it's a problem with the overall game's score system, maybe it'll help pinpoint what that is.
I did manage to pull the top score, so I'm not terribly upset, but it bothers me that I got it out of such a weak run and not my perfect run. Doesn't make sense.
But hey, high score!
