Good I'm glad it worked, the leaderboards are quite a lot of information indeed, but I think the social recognition is necessary. An interactive tutorial is planned in the future if the idea is validated by a publisher. Thanks for trying it out!

    What makes the social recognition necessary? I am basically seeing all that as noise clogging up my single player level selection screen lol

    Maybe not "necessary" but regarding 2026 and how competitive the gaming industry is currently, I don't see anyone caring about Slingshot Speeders unless there's some sense of value gained through competition. All runs are saved and validated by the server, so cheating is impossible, which further improves the forward looking value proposition.

    I think what I can do is maybe add a toggle arrow to hide them, that way they don't appear if someone doesn't want them to they can hide them. The standings tab already handles the overall standings.
