Wouldn’t it be better to call “FindObjectOfType<GameStatus>();” in the Start() and not every frame? There is a reason we have yet to cover to put it in Update()?

My suggestion would be to store the pointsPerBlockDestoryed in the block as opposed to the GameStatus/GameSession so that you can have a different point value for different blocks on the same level. Even the 2 or 3 hit blocks could have different points assigned to them to make the game score more interesting than a set amount of points regardless of block.
