v0.34 - Leaderboard/matchmaking changes!

Grail · published 8 May 2026, 12:37 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

!!! We're updating the server, so it will be down for a few minutes !!!

Leaderboard has changed! It is no longer sorted on winrate, but rather uses a point system at the highest rank. You now also see your ranking position even if you're not in the highest rank.

The matchmaking has also changed. You're now more likely to encounter players close to your own rank.

I also made the random cosmetic chest available to the demo players because a lot of people went through the demo season reward track very quickly.
