The focus is now on points. Skating/combos, killing enemies, doing goals: everything now feeds into [b]score[/b]. And score is now the way to progress. We like it a lot. To us, it feels much closer to what the game wants to be. You have ~2 weeks to get your feedback in before we push this update live to the main branch. We’re particularly interested in thoughts on / ideas for getting the tuning of the score requirements right for both new and experienced players.
