Klax (video Game) - Scoring

Scoring

Scoring can vary between versions. The most common point values are as follows:

• Five points for catching a tile (a tile that is caught, tossed back up, and caught again earns points each and every time it is caught)
• 50 points for a three-block vertical Klax, 1,000 points for a three-block horizontal Klax, and 5,000 points for a three-block diagonal Klax. Scoring increases for four-block and five-block Klaxes.
• A player also earns a multiplier for creating multiple Klaxs and combinations. Multipliers can take effect in two variations.
  • Most commonly, a player receives a bonus multiplier for each Klax created, which continues if he/she creates a combination. For example, if the player makes a vertical-3 and a diagonal-3 at the same time, the score is 50 + 5,000 = 5,050 * 2 = 10,100 points. If the player then combos into a diagonal-3, the player receives 5,000 * 3 = 15,000 points.
  • The second variation is that the player receives a bonus multiplier only if the player creates a combination. This multiplier increases only by one in each combo iteration.

Bonus points are earned as follows:

• 25 points for each tile remaining on the conveyor belt or the catching device once the level is complete. (A tile that has partially fallen off the belt, but not completely, is counted as remaining on the belt.)
• 200 points for each empty space remaining in the bin (once the last Klax is completed no further tiles can be dropped; as there are only 25 spaces in the bin, if all are empty the maximum empty space bonus is 200 * 25 or 5,000 points)
• Any points in excess of those needed to complete a level requiring a certain number of points to advance, are scored as bonus points (in addition to being counted in the regular total).
• 100,000 points for completing the first level after choosing to skip five levels, or 200,000 points for completing the first level after choosing to skip ten levels.
  • 600,000 points for making the "secret warp" X on Level 6, or 700,000 points for making the X on Level 11; this is in lieu of the standard skipping levels mentioned.
