Online Leaderboards
Tomo Jam now supports Steam-based leaderboards, allowing your scores to be recorded and displayed alongside other players.
Key Features
Your Steam profile is attached to your score
Scores can be viewed in two places:
During Song Select while selecting instruments
At the end of a song after submitting a score
Optional auto score submission toggle lets you choose whether scores upload automatically
Leaderboards are for single player runs only for the time being. Band leaderboards will come later
Score Submission Rules
To keep leaderboards fair and consistent, some modes and settings affect eligibility:
Novice Mode
Novice mode does not track scores locally and therefore...
Scores achieved in Novice Mode are not uploaded to the online leaderboard
If the BPM-Aware Ornaments options is off scores are not uploaded to the online leaderboard
If the Disable Ornaments option is on scores are not uploaded to the online leaderboard
Practice Tempo
If BPM is adjusted away from 100% tempo
Scores will be saved locally only
These runs will not upload to leaderboards
Existing Scores
Previously saved local scores will not automatically upload
Only new scores earned from this update onward can be submitted
Custom Songs & Leaderboards
All pack-in songs are leaderboard-ready by default.
For custom songs, leaderboard support requires a SongID:
Use the Tomo Jam Metadata Editor which is in the /tools folder in your Tomo Jam install directory to generate a SongID for your custom MIDIs
Once a SongID is generated, the song becomes leaderboard compatible
If you share custom MIDI files along with their metadata file, leaderboard support will automatically work for other players playing this song
This helps ensure scores are properly tracked and shared across the community.
One of our Discord community members made a helpful guide on how to add custom MIDIs as well as modify the metadata file to get your songs set up for Leaderboard compatibility.

Other Fixes and Changes
A new pack-in song has been added! "Spooky House Bop". It's quirky, and a little bit spooky, definitely fun to play!
The instrument grid has received a slight touch-up to include letter grades along with your local high score %
Added an "Audio" tab in the options where all your volume sliders are housed
Fixed rare crash issue caused by midi voices not cleaning up correctly
Looking Ahead
Online leaderboards are an important step toward Tomo Jam’s long-term vision as a rhythm game built around expression, mastery, and community involvement. This system will continue to evolve alongside upcoming features and modes as development moves forward.
Thank you for being part of the journey and helping shape how Tomo Jam grows.
As always, happy jamming!🎶
