A first look at leaderboards

The leaderboard preview is now on the website, with three illustrative course boards showing how best times could be presented.

Leaderboards are currently in development. Every rider and time in the preview is placeholder data, not a real record or live ranking. Course selections may change, and time submissions are not available yet.

We’d like to hear what matters to you in a leaderboard. Take a look, then share your ideas through the feedback page or join the discussion on Discord.

Community

Your feedback has a new home

The player feedback page brings three ways to share your experience into one place: a survey about the current state of the game, an open feedback form, and a dedicated bug report form.

Tell us how the riding feels, what you’re enjoying, and what you want added or changed. For bugs, include the steps to reproduce the problem and the game version if you know it.

Submissions go to the team’s Discord inbox. For an open conversation with other riders, the community Discord is still the place to meet.

Supporters

Help build what’s next

You can support Splashback’s development through four Patreon tiers. Every tier includes early playtest build access, a supporter Discord role, development posts before they go public, and Patreon-only polls.

Higher tiers offer additional ways to get involved, from feature voting and development discussions to credits and cosmetic rewards. Some benefits have subscription milestones or are planned for release; the supporter FAQ explains each tier in detail.

Patreon membership is separate from requesting access to the Steam playtest. You can continue to wishlist on Steam, follow the community, and share feedback whether or not you become a supporter.
