Questions & Answers
 

Q: I read the help file and found where the "clear high scores" was. However, that procedure does not work for me.
A: The ‘clear high scores’ function actually clears only the names but resets the scores to a default value of 60,000, not zero. This number roughly represents the minimum score for one complete round.
   
Q: I have finally made the high score table, but it won't stay on long enough for me to savor my victory!
A: The title screen consists of 4 'pages' 1) main title 2) game options 3) about box 4) high score table. You can manually flip from page to page by clicking the page background if you want to see the high score table, or simply wait for it to pop up as the screen automatically cycles through the pages at 4-second intervals. You can click and hold down the mouse button in the window to ‘hold down’ a particular page for as long as you want.
   
Q: Do you have to make a certain score on the first round to be able to go on to the second round and another amount to enter the third round? I have noticed that there are times, after I have only played 1 round, the game is over.
A: You must fully clear all cards in one round to enter the next round, regardless of score. The game is over when you fail to clear the cards in a given round in the allotted time. The game also ends when you successfully finish all three rounds (standard game).
   
Q: If you play the game over, by clicking the restart button, is it as if you are starting all over or just improves your score(possibly) for that round?
A: PeakPer remembers your score at the beginning of each round, so each time you click 'restart', PeakPer: 1) redeals the cards in the same order 2) resets the clock 3) resets the original score for the beginning of that round. The only advantages to using 'Restart' is to a) retry the round in case of a strategic error, b) circumvent the clock and improve your time and 'clock bonus' for that particular round.
