8388608

Anyone know what's so special about the number 8388608? On some site I can't get more points than 8388608, it SHOULD be going higher, but it seems like 8388608 is some limit.

I thought if it was going to stop me it would stop me at around 64K (smallint in database) or let me to to 2billion+

Probably an increase of your score by 1 is rounded down to the same number due to the limited float precision (eg. 8388609 and 8388608 have the same representation in IEEE single-precision float), while an increase by a larger amount will not be rounded down.

Using a float to save an entire score is dumb, though. Should have used bigints. Whoever coded this has not reached Satori yet.
