This is due to the maximum size of the variable used to keep track of the score. which in this case is an unsigned int (max value of 65535). and the reason you get an additional two 00. is because they use another variable that is set to go from 0 to 100. since in a single session of this game you get near that max of 65535 they had to find a way to increase the maximum amount. so the score is composed of 2 variables : one that goes from 0 to 65535, and the other from 0 to 100. giving us a maximum of 6553500, hope this helps :)
