Score multiplier resets to 1x when player defeats boss but carry-over bonus is not applied to next stage #21

Description

Bug Description

When the player successfully defeats the boss and advances to the next stage, any score multiplier accumulated during the boss fight resets to 1x instead of carrying over. The game description implies combo streaks and multipliers persist across stages, but this does not happen.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start the game and build a combo streak to get a score multiplier above 1x
  2. Reach and defeat the boss while maintaining the combo streak
  3. Observe the score multiplier when the next stage begins

Expected Behavior

The score multiplier earned during a combo streak should carry over to the next stage, rewarding players who perform well. The multiplier should only reset if the player misses a word or takes damage.

Actual Behavior

Score multiplier resets to 1x immediately when transitioning to a new stage after defeating the boss. All combo progress is lost regardless of the player's performance.

Root Cause (suspected)

The stage transition function likely reinitializes all game state variables including the multiplier, without selectively preserving mid-run stats that should persist across stages.
