Hello Survivors!

A part of SpinWave Survivors is chasing the best score and earning bragging rights on the global leaderboards or at least among your friends.

Every point of damage you deal increases your score, pushing you closer to a higher position on the leaderboard. If you want to hit the top spot, efficiency and aggression really matter.

C-C-C-Combo!

Defeating enemies increases your combo meter. Skilled players can line up groups of enemies to trigger big boost-and-kill chains for massive score gains.

  • Every time score is added, it’s multiplied by your current combo meter

  • Failing to defeat an enemy within a set time or taking damage will reset the combo meter

  • Keeping the combo alive is key, sometimes grabbing a few quick kills is better than playing it safe

Leaderboards & Score Multipliers

  • Leaderboards are separated by map and game mode, with 9 total leaderboards available. You can also filter them by friends and challenge them directly for the top spot.

  • Different difficulty modes apply score multipliers (either increasing or reducing your final score). Once you’ve earned enough permanent upgrades to survive tougher challenges, you may actually find it easier to achieve higher scores on higher difficulties.

Thanks for reading!
