I was curious to know exactly how the scoring works in the Castle Fireworks game. I haven't seen any posts on this topic, so I decided to do a little research. I will present my findings here.
It appears that a score between 0 and 1000 is earned for each firework. Based on the score, a descriptive word is displayed. The following table lists the approximate range of scores and the associated description.
Code:
RANGE DESCRIPTION
---------- -----------
1 - 200 OOPS
200 - 400 OK
400 - 800 GOOD
800 - 950 AWESOME
950 - 1000 FLAWLESS
Note that OOPS is just the description for a range of scores. I don't believe that it's possible to get OOPS when you click the correct firework, but it is possible to click the wrong firework and not get OOPS.
If my theory that each firework has a maximum value of 1000 points is correct, then we can determine the highest possible score. The following table lists the number of fireworks in each stage.
Code:
LEVEL STAGE NUMBER OF FIREWORKS
----- ----- -------------------
1 1 13
1 2 15
1 3 19
2 1 16
2 2 15
2 3 23
3 1 15
3 2 19
3 3 26
4 1 22
4 2 23
4 3 27
5 1 24
5 2 22
5 3 36
The number of fireworks listed for Level 5, Stage 3 may be incorrect. It is difficult to count them all when they appear so quickly.
From the previous table, we see that the highest possible score after Level 1 is 47,000. After Level 2, 101,000. After Level 3, 161,000. After Level 4, 233,000. And finally, the highest possible score after Level 5 is 315,000.
