1.4.0 has released (8th July 2021)! All changes will be added in a next couple of days

Regarding the new update (Cat Mod / Plushies, Elite Enemies & Surplus Mode) that'll be added to the game, The leaderboards itself will have some changes after the official release of the patch. This will include, but not limited to:

• Adding Cat Mod option to the Leaderboard (runner must specify what Cat Mod that they're using on it's description)
• Adding "Hardcore" category to both ILs and Main Leaderboard which specifies as follows: a. Runners must only use Peashooter as their main weapon (both ILs and Main ; excluding Gun Permanent Upgrades [you can get these from Alien Ant] for ILs) and nothing else b. Runners must use all Cat Mods (all 5 of them) that are available on their base (both ILs and Main) c. Runners forbids the usage of Permanent Upgrades (including Plushies ; excluding Achievement Perk) (Main only) d. Runners were allowed to buy in-game upgrades (including Marriage perk) that's available at store / spouses during year runs (both ILs and Main)

Additional note: a. After the release of 1.4.0 (Feline Good Update), all Main Leaderboard submission MUST NOT INCLUDE Time Capsule on their first initial runs (excluding New Year category) due to an unfair result (ex. getting Duck Wings from Time Capsule for All Tree Monsters runs). You can resolve this by choosing "Abandon Run" option on Menu.

b. All new runs (after the official 1.4.0 release) must be played on 1.4.0+ version branch.
