For modes without boss waves include score bonus for lives remaining

[TreeSquirrel]

Currently there's no incentive to have a lot of lives remaining at the end of express.

Perhaps as part of the net worth bonus, remaining lives should be part of the calculation? Or maybe just a flat score of 100 * difficulty bonus * remaining lives.

so you want the reward the spamming of life towers?

If anything, the clean bonus might need to be more significant.

Currently the way to get on top of express leaderboard is intentionally leak the last wave for income bonus (trading lives for additional score). But you're right, it's another mechanic that might get abused.

Right now if you're optimizing for score life towers won't kill fast enough though.

We're thinking about applying a Lives Bonus and an Overall Speed bonus to the end. Leak the last wave a lot and the speed goes down. Another thing that attributes to that is the formula on scoring right now, which is getting changed to be completely multiplicative. So if you take... what is it, I think 120 seconds to clear it wave, it drops down to * 0 score.

So overall speed bonus is in. Lives bonus won't go in but we will be buffing the "clean" wave bonus.
