Patch Notes 01.31.2025 – BRICKS SURVIVORS Balance Update

Score System Adjustments

Previously, the score gained was exponential, leading to large disparities between players. This resulted in cases where some players defeated more bosses but were still not ranked first.
Now, the score awarded is fixed and scales based on difficulty, ensuring a fairer and more balanced ranking system.
⚠️ As a result of this adjustment, the annual leaderboard will be reset. However, the January leaderboard will remain unchanged.
