New Update

The 1.0 Release dropped on May 1 - this update introduces tons of changes, adds tons of content, and creates powerful opportunities. That being said - I don't think the meta has shifted in a negative way. We'll continue to use the existing EA categories and co-opt them into the 1.0 leaderboard. If no one is able to challenge their PB or the WR, then we will look at resetting the leaderboard, but I anticipate that times can get faster now.

New Frog

A new annotation has been added to all EA/1.0 categories for the new playable frog, Nera. The leaderboard is very open! So go snipe some WRs!

🎉🎺SHOUTOUT to @ryebread4321 on the first Nera Speedrun🎺🎉

(he is the reason I actually needed to make updates to the leaderboard lol)

New Difficulty

A new annotation has been added to Any%, Score%, and Death% categories for the new difficulty, D8 "Decadent Deck". I know there will be that one guy - come claim your WR! (the rest of us will watch 😅)

Category Modifications

We've updated the Endless Floor categories to "Endless 10" for floor 10 and "Endless 30" for floor 30. This is primarily to conserve space on the top level categories for potential future leaderboard changes.

Upcoming Category Changes

Which brings us to the future - depending on interest and activity, I can see this going a few ways:

• True Ending: If we get, say, 3 runners with a true ending speedrun, ready to submit, we'll make this a category. We also need a catchy category name
• Score%: Needless to say, this category is not very popular. Historically, most EA Score% runs were accidental. I'm also anticipating some future changes to score calculation (maybe, possibly) so we may end up archiving this category
• Endless Speedruns: These are honestly a lot less active than we anticipated, and take up a lot of leaderboard real estate. If we don't get more attempts/activity in these categories, we might look at archiving these too, or at least moving them into the subcategory section.
