    Combo is the number of squares you've collected without missing any. As soon as a green square goes off the screen, your combo goes back down to zero.

    If you get higher Combos do you get more Points?

    If i remember correctly in the old 1.X Version you got more points much faster?

    Yes, the combo increases the amount of points you'll recieve per square. The value of the squares was slightly reduced for 2.0 to increase the length of each round, and to prevent the scores from getting too high too quickly. The changes in scoring are the main reason the ladder had to be reset when 2.0 was released.

    I'm working on an additional table for the scores page that will show the player with the highest score, highest combo, longest time, etc. so players will be able to compete for more than just points.

    Wow that new HiScore tables will be great. I almost did an request for it here :D

    Why do some donīt have the time in the score? And OMGHAX seems to be really faked, Combo 1, no time but 200,002 points :O

    Users who enter a score code instead of using the automatic submission will not have a time; It didn't fit inside the codes and I didn't want to make them any longer than they already are.

    And yes, OMGHAX's score seems very unlikely, so I'll review it and probably remove it from the database.
