I feel like I'm missing something as the first dude gets 2000+ points each game, and I couldn't match that. My bounty became negative money. I like the sounds and the feel of the game, though.
I suppose a negative bounty means you're the one paying people to catch you xD
Sounds like you had quite an unlucky run, or maybe did you keep getting that "~NO POINTS!" screen? Either way, let me know if you want to reset your save, I could show you how. (or help clarify the rules if needed)
