Thank you so much for the kind words; it’s really encouraging for me as a developer. Points are only tallied once the run ends, a few seconds after defeating the boss, but you can also press ESC, go to the menu, and select "Infinity Mode." That way, you can play as long as you like, and your points will be recorded without needing to finish the run. Unfortunately, not everything was fully fleshed out in the initial game design, but depending on the general feedback, I might well update the game.
