Bonus score for if all chickens have been saved #29

Is this really necessary? Because saving a chicken already adds to your score, saving every chicken will automatically result in a higher score on average. I suppose there could be a case where someone catches 19 chickens very quickly outperforms someone who catches all 20 slowly, but is that a bad thing? The game as it is, is also geared around completing it as fast as possible.

I feel like if you're a farmer, you'd not want any of your chickens to die to a fox. So if all of them were saved, with no deaths, that should be rewarded something extra.

@koksiroj, Mr. Game Designer, what do you think?

I just talked about bonus scores target audiences here: https://github.com/TechnicJelle/DWM_WARLOCK/pull/43#issuecomment-2258776899. And I feel like this one solidly targets only the pro players. So maybe not all bonus scores are targeted at the same audience... Maybe this one could even be a "hidden" bonus? :eyes:
