Repeated intro

Hey everyone! We know you've been waiting for the big update to the Level Selection screen, and the next official map from the SpeedRunners team... today's the day! Introducing the SpeedRunners Workshop Competition! Starting from today, we're offering our SpeedRunners the chance to get their own levels added to the official SpeedRunners map rotation, right there on the main map selection screen for everyone to see. As part of the update, we're rejigging the way in which players can navigate the user-created maps, and upvote/downvote user levels. Since there are over 6,000 user maps now, we really felt like there needed to be a more substantial way to sift through them! And that's not all! Today's update also adds a brand new prototype map to the official roster, direct from the brains of the SpeedRunners team. Get it played and tell us what you think!
