Right, so I have also been thinking about this. Maybe I am being stupid here. but why level 85?
So, the timer is calculated as so
bonus = 100*(10*(level + 4))
and the 10*(level +4) part works modulo 256 due to the 8 bit counter (this is where I might be wrong). Which is why at level 22 we get
10*(22 + 4) = 260 = 4 mod 256.
so the bonus timer will be 100*4 = 400, resulting in the kill screen. So where does the value of 85 come from as being the other kill screen?
10*(85 + 4) = 122 mod 256 and 122*100 is definitely bigger than 8000, resulting in just having 8000 as normal.
Here are the other levels under 100 which have timers less than 8000 in format [level, bonus]
[[1, 5000], [2, 6000], [3, 7000], [22, 400], [23, 1400], [24, 2400], [25, 3400], [26, 4400], [27, 5400], [28, 6400], [29, 7400], [48, 800], [49, 1800], [50, 2800], [51, 3800], [52, 4800], [53, 5800], [54, 6800], [55, 7800], [73, 200], [74, 1200], [75, 2200], [76, 3200], [77, 4200], [78, 5200], [79, 6200], [80, 7200], [99, 600], [100, 1600]])
48 seems like it would be the next kill screen
Please do tell me I am an idiot if I am but there is no need to let me know I am sad, I already know.
