Sorry, I couldn't find my answer anywhere in the forums and I just started a couple days ago.
The tip says that at 100,000 points you get extra lives, but that doesn't mean every 100k, does it? I only get a life at occasional point marks, rather than every 100...Does that mean that it goes up? Example:
100,000, 200,000, 500,000, etc...
I also seem to get some extra lives from random effects such as spelling out cristal or even hitting completely odd numbers like 238,546.
Thanks
