About levels & scoring
Quinn has ten different speed levels. Between those levels, speed increases non-linearly: within the lower levels, it goes up in steeper steps, whereas towards level 10, it increases more slowly. You reach a new level when a certain number of lines has been cleared, according to this table:
current level | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
# of lines to reach next level | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 |
The rules for scoring are as follows:
- With every piece reaching the ground, Quinn increments the score by the number of rows between the pieces bottom and the boards bottom at the time the piece was dropped, or by one if the piece wasnt dropped. This is a value between 19 and zero.
- If one or more complete lines have been erased, the score additionally increases by the current level multiplied by a factor obtained from the following table:
lines erased one two three four factor 40 100 300 1200 - If erasing the lines leads to an entirely empty board, the player gets a special bonus of 4444 points times the current level.
