Status: Already a planned change sooner or later. Just not very high priority on the todo list, currently.

As shown in this topic, it looks like a majority of the people think the scoring system should be removed, and instead general statistics should be shown.

I agree that the scoring system should be removed in favor of statistics as the scoring system doesn't really have much of a purpose to me either. The statistics thing can also be very useful even for level designing (e.g. when one wants to make a repeat version of an easier level with the fewest skills used possible).

It should be, and will be eventually. I'll leave this topic open for discussion of how / what should be shown.

This topic from the old NeoLemmix V2 board may also be relevant for background reading, so I'll leave the link here.

I've now removed the score system for the next update. I haven't yet put in anything new to replace it, though.

Part of the reason was that it's broken anyway - ever since the introduction of the improved back-frame-stepping, the score system hasn't worked properly. I figured it made more sense to remove it now, rather than fix it only to remove it a few more versions down the line.
