Should we change Fireworks Scores?

Actually, that's how the "Explode All" feature always worked: you pick which firework you want, and the ones that matched got the appropriate "Awesome," or "Flawless," etc. The rest were "ok" or "oops."
One just has to make sure they pick the best firework...
Lastly, I will add that the "Explode All" feature is only needed a couple times in the game. It would be nice to have it needed a few more times.

Is everyone reading the original post? Scores are not going to change if you simply want more credits. If you played fireworks in VMK and these are the usual scores you got then the scoring system should not be changed. Personally I never got the chance to play fireworks all that much in VMK so I have no clue what my usual scores would be. If the scores are bumped up then I would likely be making 1000+ credits a game going off of the previous bump up in score when the game first released. That's simply way too much, I'm already sketchy about the amounts I'm getting now.
To be fair, I'm happy with my credit earnings at the moment. No matter where they set the credits at, everyone will still be in the same place earnings-wise in relation to everyone else (ie, you're not suddenly going to be making as many credits playing fireworks as the superstars if credits go up) so there isn't even an argument for leveling out the playing field. But more credits in play means that buyables lose value and for some people that's how they're going to be able to participate in trading and all that hooplah. So I say, give the buyables value, keep credits where they're at.
I just want to eliminate/reduce that urge I have to throw my laptop out the window everytime I hit an "awesome". Awesome is supposed to be awesome!!
Maybe supplement credits earnings with "Fireworks Induced Anger Management Events".

even after the bonus i only get around 300-400 credits which isn't bad but i think that since its basically the only game thats offered right now it should be a bit higher until another comes out. Once pirates or the jungle game come out ( whichever are closer to being finished) then it can be lowered back down to the norm.

I take that back. I just played it and the credits were much more reasonable this time. so i vote no to changing the scoring.

I voted no for 2 reasons.
1) I do not think padding everyone's purse is a good idea. The economy cannot stabalize if players have an exorbitant amout of credits at their disposal.
However,I feel the current prices are too high relative to the amount of credits a reasonable player can make. It is unreasonable to assume the average player can earn enough credits to enjoy what the game has to offer in shops. It causes players to feel nervous, frustrated, and bitter about the situation. I do not want to see people leave MyVMK because they cannot afford the things that would make them happy. This is not a real-life economy, it is a game! It is suppose to be a fun one! Let people enjoy the items and build rooms by lowering prices. They will be having fun and player retention will remain high. You will get more bees with honey
2) I'm already pretty good at fireworks :P

Yes.
As of now, the shell game and Fireworks are comparable credit-wise, but Fireworks is more intensive (requires more active commitment and all that). Decreasing the shell game's payouts would be pretty destructive economically (there are a zillion items out now, and two ways to get credits to buy them). The alternative is making Fireworks pay out better.
I liked Ryzian's suggestion of changing the way the flawless multiplier works. (Drop multiplier by 1.0x, not to 1.0x, every time something is not hit flawlessly.)
