chaining
What does chaining mean?
The heart of high-score play in a lot of shmups. You link enemies or items together without breaking the sequence, and the chain multiplies your score. Drop the chain and the multiplier resets to nothing. Some are simple kill-fast systems, others are deep puzzles in their own right.
"Break the chain on the popcorn enemies and your stage 2 score is dead."
