No clue what’s going on, either the dev is trolling us or the game needs a tutorial

In short :
[Spoiler ahead]






> you gain point by repairing the tomb stone which have three state : OK (grey) ; bad (dark grey); broken (almost invisible). 
> If a broken one isn't repaired by the next wave, you loose 10 points
> When your light touch one it goes to OK, except sometimes where you have directly touch them
> Green souls give you a bonus of points AND light length so you must prioritize getting them

> I'm not sure but i feel like boosting makes you loose bonus or points

There is some more to say but you should get to a decent score with this !

I won 2974 points but i still don't really understand the system (and i'm a bit frustrated of missing the 3000 points marks haha). Had fun but the confusion isn't that pleasing :v

Hahahaha GOT IT. 
Still, vaguely understood how and clearly a good chunck of luck included   It finally fully clicked and it got me to 3121 points. Stopping there !

936 points on my first try, 1702 points on the second. My strategy is to go for all the glowing green lights immediately whenever they show up, and not worry about the graves too much until the end when the light radius is huge.

Feels ok but have ZERO idea what's going on

Same here.

I managed to score 500 and something points, but I have no idea why!

The essence of gaming right here. I did stuff and pixels changed colours on my screen =D

And I managed to score +320 after a bunch of negative scores =)
