Pengo (video Game) - Scoring

Scoring

The point award for crushing Sno-Bees depends on the number crushed in one push of an ice block:

• 400 for 1 Sno-Bee
• 1,600 for 2 Sno-Bees
• 3,200 for 3 Sno-Bees
• 6,400 for 4 Sno-Bees

Walking over a stunned Sno-Bee awards 100 points.

10,000 points are awarded for aligning the three diamond blocks together if at least one is not touching a wall, but only 5,000 if all are against the walls.

Crushing an ice block will award 30 points, or 500 points if it contains a Sno-Bee egg.

A bonus is awarded upon round completion, depending on time elapsed:

• 5,000 points for under 20 seconds
• 2,000 points for between 20–29 seconds
• 1,000 points for between 30–39 seconds
• 500 points for between 40–49 seconds
• 10 points for between 50–59 seconds
• 0 points for 60 seconds or more

By default, Pengo begins with three lives and a bonus life is awarded at 30,000 points; these numbers can be changed (anywhere from 2 to 5 lives, and the bonus life can be awarded at 50,000 instead) through DIP switch settings.
