High Scoring:At the end of each game your score will be checked against the other players across the Internet to see if it qualified for the Top 25.
The Top 25 can be viewed by clicking the High Scores icon.
NOTE: In an effort to defeat cheating each game is assigned a unique scoring token to be used with the server maintaining the highs list. This token expires in 20 minutes.
If your browser is configured to allow local storage then the app will maintain a history for all games played in that browser.
