fixedHi folks, I made a few changes in the Daily Contest mode and in the scoring: - Fixed the update of the Octathlon score on the leaderboard. If you were improving your Octathlon score too frequently (like 10 times in less than 5 minutes), Steam was ignoring your next score updates for several minutes. Now you send your Octathlon score only one time: when you finish your last attempt of the day (or when you get to the next day). - Changed the number of attempts per day. Now it's the same for every player: 3 attempts for a race event, 6 for a jump event. Best players were complaining not having enough attempts and there was a possibility of cheating to the “Best Octathlon” leaderboard in giving more attempts to new players. - Balanced the scoring system of the Octathlon. For example, achieving a good performance in Triple Jump was giving you more points than achieving a good performance in any other event (because I didn’t expect you to jump over 23 meters at the triple jump ^^), so a specialist in Triple Jump was advantaged over other specialists. - Reset the “Combined Personal Bests” and “Best Octathlon” leaderboards to take these changes into account. You just have to launch the game to recalculate and update your “Combined Personal Bests” score. For the “Best Octathlon”, you have to play to the Daily Contest again and again and again :) If you have any issues please let me know on the forum or by answering this news. If you have suggestions, you're also welcome on the forum, for example to talk about new events . Note: you can help the game by writing a quick review on the store page :) Have fun!
