Earning Points

ScoresPoints are earned for a number of accomplishments, some obvious and others more subtle.  The various game levels each have a different level of difficulty, which has a large effect on available point values.  For example, the rovers that evade capture are worth more points on capture than the slow, steady ones.

High Scores – There are separate high scores for each of the levels.  If you would like to reset the high scores, this can be done on the Information & Settings page.
