Flowers and Sheepie Saves

[bcass]

Do you get more score for letting flowers grow to their full size before firing at them to send them into the black hole (or just letting them grow to full size until the black hole automatically sucks them in)?

Also, does deliberately killing yourself to acquire as many sheepie saves as possilbe yield more score than staying alive, keeping your bullet streams going, and just picking-up the sheep?

I can pretty much guarantee that living nets more points than almost dying. Getting hit hurts the multiplier, and the lack of bullets sees your boost meter plummet. Neither of those are going to be much help on a good score run.

I'd like to know about the flowers, though. I've never been all that clear on that mechanic.
