Erratic scoring & rewards in Penny's Pursuit

In the current Penny's Pursuit, The Hungry Games, I'm experiencing very erratic behavior:

  • In the scoring of level 1, I routinely get over 3.2 million, but one of the times I went through using the exact same strategy, length of play, etc. my score barely cracked 100,000. There must be a bug somewhere in the scoring engine.
  • I have also been getting the two Perks from level one played on two peppers, but, on occasion, when it goes to add those to the Perk Progression, it's only adding one.

Both are inconsistent bugs, so it's hard to reproduce.

    Firstly, if you look at the score there is a multiplyer attached to it going from x1 to x10.

    I'm not sure of the mechanics of how it works but if you watch it carefully you'll see it jumps about all over the place, on x1 you get the standard score and at x10 then you get 10 times the score per zombie.

    This would account for the huge disparity of the scores you've seen, but 100,000 does seem incredibly low as each zombie's  health points are the same as it's score (unmultiplied).

    For your second point I noticed that EA have made the perk progression longer, last week it went up to 63 now this week it goes to 108.

    SnEAky Bois.

    So if you get both bonus achievements it might land on an odd number that is between two perks.

  • @agustafson I second this! I experienced the same issue when my perks are at higher level. Basically the multiplier stop working correctly whenever you play it. I suggest you play other level instead.

    Once you get to level 8 perks they are further spaced out which means three bonus achievements are needed for just one extra perk.
