Once you pass a certain score, say 40,000 for example, then the next game will start you at the 30,000 mark, unless you choose not to use continues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) yeah, and if you don't score enough points after continuing, it sets you further back the next time you continue. Edited January 30, 2017 by S.BAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
