After reading all the help forums (thanks Reminiscent and others) and going back to the old VMK posts (especially the one by LittleDragonErin) I finally got a better score. And love the extra credits here at Christmas time! They will certainly come in handy!
My top score so far was 28,000 something so ill just say 28,000 but man is that hard to accomplish! Is there like a secret im missing? ive been playing nonstop and cant fathom getting in the 30's let alone 40's
