Floating points help you see what you've picked up and how much damage you have dealt (useful for score attack mode!)
DAMAGE - white
MONEY - green
AMMO - yellow
HEALTH -red
Floating points are optional and can be disabled in the game settings (they can affect performance).

[b]Do you wanna nuke the city on hard mode!?[/b]
I tried to keep the normal game balanced for all. But for the hard core players I've made a special HARD mode.
Changes in hard mode:
* More pursuit vehicles
* Faster and more frequent enemy bullets
* Higher max damage (less health)
* Limited ammo
* Higher shop prices
[b]Hard mode is unlocked if you complete/nuke the city with all 6 characters.[/b]

Feel like going for an endless run? Do you want to compete against your highest score?
In the top right corner you'll find the new damage score indicator (only in Score Attack mode). The bar shows how much you have left until the next pursuit level.

Score attack doesn't have a time limit. Instead wanted levels come in based on the damage you've made to the city, cars and people (just like good old GTA 1).
[b]Score attack is unlocked if you complete/nuke the city with one character.[/b]
[h2]PLAYABLE MOMENTS[/h2]

Last but not least. Playable moments allow you to play player created challenges. It works like a replay of a moment of gameplay. You can play the same moment and try to beat somebodies score. For instance, a playable moment objective might be to run over 20 policemen within a 15-second timeframe. You can do the same or out-do the creators score.
You can also sign-up, create and upload your own moments for others to play. If for whatever reason you decide to not use this feature, you can easily disable it in the Playable Moments settings.
