If you score 63 or greater on the left side of the score card, you will get a 35 point bonus. HIGH SCORES: If your score is one of the top ten, it will automatically be saved it in the high score list at the end of the game, & all scores are submitted to the Game Center leaderboard. STATS: Daily & All Time game stats are available via the stats viewing screen. Stats can be reset.
