addedSteam leaderboards have been added so you can compare you times (any % and 100%) against the global top 10. Which right now is just me, and in order to not make it too challenging, I've intentionally only submitted a few slower run times, for a few levels.
changedPS. the game is not *just* about speed running. It's an option. Seriously, go slow if you want. In fact, I'm torn about printing the best global times every time you finish a level. I don't want casual chillaxing players to feel like they aren't doing it right. I just want to fully support the people who want the extra challenge (and, admittedly, the collectable layout is partially designed for speed running).

At least that's my cover story.

Check out the Science Lab level to see leaderboards for every level that you've finished.

So here's the question: should I print out the global ranking on the level end screen too, or only in the science lab?
