If you're talking about what I think you are, you mean those dots that sometimes appear in the upper corner of the screen when you shoot something, right? Basically, this helps you keep track of the enemies you're shooting in order to help you "chain" them: to "chain," all you have to do is shoot three enemies of the same color, either white or black, in a row, and then do the same thing again and again for as long as you can to get the most points. It doesn't matter if you let some enemies "escape," but if you shoot an enemy that breaks whatever current "pattern of 3" you have going, the chain will reset. Watch the "chain indicator": shoot 3 white enemies in a row, for example, and you'll see 3 white dots appear there as you do it. Once the third enemy in the sequence is shot, the row of 3 same-colored dots will flash, and you've got your first chain, plus some bonus points. Do it again, and the bonus gets bigger.
Hopefully that's what you meant...

The total number of chains at the tally screen is just there to let you know. All chain bonuses are added when you complete them.janrodricks wrote:I have a question about scoring:
At the end of a level when it tallies everything up, does the max chain number contribute (as in, the higher the max you got the more bonus points at the end) or is it just there to let you know?
