Score Mode

[recrm]

Don't know if anybody else has noticed, but score mode is broken as spawning birds are a potentially limitless source of points. Midlevel this isn't really an issue as farming them will kill your multiplyer, but in the levels where there is a source near the end of the level it makes breaking old records really easy.

Which is unfortunate because this is my favorite game mode. Ideally birds should only give points the first time you kill them.

Haven't played score mode much, so I hadn't noticed. Now that you mention it I can think of a couple of levels where this coul deffinitly be exploited though.

Yea I prefer score mode cause it is the only challange mode that actually requires you to collect gems. Speed mode and even hardcore mode leave me with an empty feeling cause you actually skip most of the level. However, I've had to make a rule for myself that I can only kill birds once. My Old Castle Crashers score is already artificially inflated due to experimentation.

Afaik every bird gives points only for the first kill.

Not all birds, just the respawning ones. Try this. Go to Amythesyt mine in score mode, and play it till just past the first two moving platforms. There will be some green birds that spawn from a hole in the wall. Kill the bottom one, wait for it to respawn then kill it again.
