 In ''Boss Rush'' the score is simply time – the less time you took to defeat all the bosses, the better.

 In ''Main Mission'' mode, the scoring seems to consist only of shooting as many enemies as possible and collecting as much of ''Energy Orbs'' as possible. Enemies count from as little as 200 points to several thousand, depending on their size.
-As is customary, using a continue will reset your score. But will store your best score of the run in the leaderboards. (todo: double-check it’s true)
+As is customary, using a continue will reset your score.
 A more advanced scoring system happens in the ''Arcade Mode'' where a ''Multiplier'' count and guage exists. As you pick up ''Energy Orbs'' the ''Multiplier guage'' increases and when it fills up it it doubles the ''Multiplier'' to up to max ×128. The guage and consequently multiplier starts falling as soon as you stop picking up ''Enery Orbs''. This affects your score immensely! The maximum multipiler count you achieved during the stage also gets calculated into a bonus (see below).

		+	At the start of the ''Boss Rush'' and after every two bosses, you are flying through a stage where you can equip Force Shards, main and side weapon pods, as well as stock up on energy. The timer runs also during this stage, so if you do not need to pick up anything, there are speed boost portals present as well.
