Please review the updated rules before submitting new runs. Happy running! 🏃‍♂️🔥

Update as of 16/02/25

Several important changes have been made to the Hello Neighbor: The New Neighborhood leaderboards to improve clarity and category organization. Here’s what’s new:

🏆 Leaderboard Adjustments

• The "Any%" subcategory has been renamed to "Versions", as it now accurately reflects the choice between different game versions.
• The "Any%" value within the "Versions" subcategory (previously meaning “current version”) is now labeled "Current", making it more logical (e.g., a 100% run under "Any%" didn’t make sense, but under "Current," it does).
• A new subcategory, "Any% Load Abuse", has been added for both Full Game and Levels, based on the strategy introduced in qzkzz’s run. Additionally, Bloxstrap can be used to extend load times and further optimize this method.
• The "Any% No Major Glitches" category is now available for Levels (Acts), aligning them more closely with the Full Game categories.

🎨 Visual & Aesthetic Enhancements

• The background image of the speedrun.com page has been updated.
• A new page icon has been implemented.
• Custom leaderboard badges have been created in three interchangeable collections:
  • The Neighbor
  • Crowbar
  • Access Card (Each collection includes badges for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place).

These updates help refine the leaderboard structure while enhancing the overall appearance of the page. Looking forward to seeing new runs and optimizations! 🚀
