As i read in the Android Market comments earlier, there seemed to be a bug with the highscore in Planetary Wars. It was hard to believe as i saw a lot of incoming games in the database. So first i ignored the problem. Yesterday Bash wrote a comment on this site mentioning the problem occurred after he played around 300 games.
Having some spare time today i investigated the problem and first added a better logging system to the server side of the highscore. Just a minute after pushing it live, there showed up to be a problem with the level number that you players submitted: they were not in the format i expected them. Looking at my filters i had to find out that the level maximum was as low as 255. I can only guess the reason i wrote this rule but now it is removed and your games are reported again.
I am really sorry that you lost the score for your games but i can not recover them.
Hi,
The problem you are talking about is still there. I’ve been playing for a while and I had more than 300 points. The first day I thought I was wrong, then I started to write down the score and it’s going down without playing.
It’s a big problem.
Hope you can solve it.

Hello Joacca,
i think the problem you describe is another. You are not the first one to comment on this but you are absolutely right. Currently there is no hint in the game about this and there should definitely be!
As this will not show up too fast i wrote a short summary about the scoring system you can find here:

I thank you for your feedback and encourage you to let me know if there is something else what i could enhance in Planetary Wars.
Best regards
Christoph
