Hi Kevin,
Yes you can get knocked out on the easy difficulty level by being hit by the

The Troll takes some of your energy away each time he hits you with his

So it depends on how much energy you had as to how many hits it takes to
knock you out.

Hi Kevin,
The high score tells you how much energy you had when you quit.
The chapter is another name for level.
In the game you can go from chapter 1 to chapter 11 in one step so I thought
chapter would be a better term.
Plus the game is based on a series of books which use the chapter term.
