If I press ‘Having Trouble’ or ‘Booed off Stage’ do I still earn points?
Yes. You get points for every scale you play. It’s important to be honest when you rate yourself because ScaleBlitzer remembers which tasks you’re having trouble with and tests you on those more.
How does ScaleBlitzer calculate the points?
There is a complicated scoring system behind the scenes! Basically, you get points for every task, but you get more points for trying more difficult modes. For example, a warm-up task does not carry as much weight as a thrill-seeker task.
