💥 Rack Up the Points: Behind the Scenes of Scoring, Multipliers, and Collectibles in Ka-Pow! City – Dev Log

Ever wonder how Ka-Pow! City keeps track of every punch, kick, and combo while rewarding your skills? From K.O. counts to level multipliers and hidden collectibles, our scoring system is designed to make players feel accomplished and in control of their chaos.

🎯 Tracking Your Progress Every enemy defeated, every combo executed, contributes to your score. Neon Striker isn’t just fighting for the sake of it, the game is constantly tallying K.O.s and damage to give real-time feedback on your performance. Our Game Manager ensures that score persists across scenes, so whether you’re in the City Level, the Subway, or the Vehicle Tunnel, your progress is never lost.

📈 Level Multipliers To add extra excitement, certain levels feature score multipliers:

• Subway Level – 1.5x multiplier for skilled fighters who reach this hidden battleground.
• Vehicle Tunnel – 5x multiplier for the ultimate challenge, encouraging players to push their limits.

These multipliers aren’t just numbers…they appear visually on screen with flashing text, giving immediate feedback and a satisfying “reward” for skilled play.

💎 Collectibles: Hidden Rewards in the Chaos Ka-Pow! City isn’t just about combos and enemies, hidden collectibles encourage exploration and reward curiosity. Collectibles appear throughout the levels, often tucked in corners or hard-to-reach places:

• Striker Emblem – Easter eggs scattered in the environment that players can discover
• Graffiti Tags – Although they can’t be picked up, can you locate all the tags with the dev teams names in each level

Collectibles provide additional thrill for observant players who aren’t afraid to explore regardless of the amount of enemies.

👀 Making the Score Feel Alive Our lead programmer worked hard to make scoring intuitive and exciting with the UI system. Real-time score updates, high score tracking, flashing multipliers, and collectible pop-ups all contribute to making every action feel meaningful. Players can see their improvement, compete against themselves, and aim for ultimate bragging rights.

🎮 Wrapping Up From the streets of the City Level to the underground Subway and chaotic Vehicle Tunnel, Ka-Pow! City’s scoring system ensures every K.O and Combo count. It’s not just about surviving, it’s about excelling, exploring, and having fun in a city worth saving.
