JUST FYI- for the version on dragonsweeper.com: (version 1.0)
the highest score you can achieve on new mode is 357 points, as of this post.
I'm just now realizing other people are playing a different version from me, so I'm not sure about that version. BUT, for the dragonsweeper.com version -
The game spawns with a max of 362 points (that is, experience points), which includes 6 wall units (1 point each - they drop a golden ring) and 356 points worth of monsters. This value includes the dragon. There are only enough hearts and experience point level-ups to destroy more than all the monsters, plus one box, for 357 points. Thus, if you play a perfect game, only leveling up when you have completely depleted your heart meter and wasting no hearts, and if you kill the dragon when you have 13 hearts and then finish up killing the remaining monsters plus 1 wall unit, you will have exactly 357 points.
The number of monsters spawned is random so you often will not be able to score this high even if you play a perfect game -- there will often be some rats leftover. But the highest possible score seems to be all monsters, plus 1 wall. It might--MIGHT--be possible to score 1 point higher and destroy TWO wall segments, but I haven't seen this happen after much MUCH play time.
