Hey, milk :D

I saw you mod request this game, so I've been playing it and waiting to see if you got modded before mentioning these things.

This game looks fun, but challenge mode is brutal. I still like challenge mode, but it would be sweet if there was a category for a mode that doesn't game-over after every miss. Challenge mode might even play slower, in the long run, because double shots are so risky. Challenge mode is overall very risky, so playing in practice mode or timed mode would add variety to the board. 100% seems arbitrary, but I'm not opposed to it.

Practice mode would be like a freestyle mode. The timed mode wouldn't be relevant in terms of the timer (it doesn't function linearly), but it is possible to score many more points from combos, so it plays a lot different. You could even invert the board for the timed mode in order to keep track of high scores, rather than fastest to a certain score.

I just think that the board could use some variety besides challenge mode, and these are just some ideas. I'd like to hear your thoughts :)

What would you want the categories to be called. I like these ideas and since I just got mod I haven't had time yet to fix the leaderboard

That's a good question. The simplest way would be to have three main categories, one for each mode. If you like the idea of making Time Trial mode for scoring instead of speed, then you could specify that in the rules. For Challenge mode and Practice mode, I like the idea of having a couple categories for different point totals, but maybe it wouldn't be necessary without many runners. That makes something like this:

Challenge Mode Practice Mode Time Trial (high score)

or just Challenge/Practice/Time Trial, so it doesn't look cluttered.

If you don't like having a high score category, then it's a decision on which mode would be best for "freestyle" play. I would say practice mode, since it has less restrictions.

That leaves the question of how many point increments you want to have. At most, it would look something like this:

10pts Challenge 20pts Challenge 10pts Practice 20pts Practice Time Trial (high score)

I say "at most", because we're the only two playing it so far. With more people would come the opportunity to increase the point levels, but I'd personally keep challenge mode at 10/20. Practice mode can feasibly be continued ad infinitum.

I'm going to add you as a mod since i currently don't have that much time and I'm going to be demoting myself probably
