Once player exceeds top records, particular indicator highlights.

Action Rules:
Player can merge only those cells that bear same color elements.
Select some cell, move cursor over some cell that player might
think is mergeable (apply common logic!) and press select key. If
cells are eligible, they merge. Player accrues some score. If target
cell is surrounded by similar one, they repeat merge, thus bringing
much score at once, and even progressing bonus!
