Thanks for your questions. Any violation of the game play rules results in the immediate termination of the game when the rule violation occurred. For example, let's say on the pie stage you have 100,000 points and you accidentally jump over one of the gaps. Your game will then be considered over at 100,000 points (no matter how many lives you have left). You also may submit that game for 100,000 points as long as you identify on the submission that you violated the rules at that point in the game.
This is made to be very difficult on purpose
Good luck!!!!
