Leaderboards:
The first three score types are now being tracked by Steam. These are public scores and should appear on your Steam profile. A mission timer and time info in the mission debriefing have been added for this purpose too.
The leaderboard screen in the Lobby has been updated and now shows the highest scores for:
- Highest experience,
- Most cleanups,
- Shortest mission, this score only counts for successful missions.
Of course we're planning to add more scores to this, if you have suggestions let us know! :)
