cheating?

There are cheaters in every game. If it has a leaderboard, there are cheaters. Never trust the top ones. This is a common thing in many games people do. Ive seen games where a level is beaten in 0:01 seconds. The only possible way to do this is by a cheating method. I do not even try to look at top scores in games anymore. It is not worth it looking at them.

Devs that stay on top of things delete cheater or bugged entries from leaderboard databases. Many smaller niche games on Steam with leaderboards are definitely monitored. If I was a dev and proud of my product I'd be checking weekly.

Not sure about this dev checking the boards but I do know if you delete a cheaters entries enough and stay on top of it they eventually get bored and move onto the next game to cheat in.

Back in the day (before the cars were nerfed) my record was 4:35.
Compared to that 5:00 is nothing.
Then again I don't have any actual proof so I guess it doesn't really matter what I say.

I once had a record in ethan and the meteor on a couple levels. Kinda a hard core game like super meatboy. Im sure it is long gone though.
