You will notice that any game that uses Steam leaderboards suffer from the same issue of hackers. What we did therefore is one of the few reliable solutions, which is a type of shadow-banning (also referred to as hell-banning), which will remove the scores of offending players client-side when showing the scores/ranks to other players. This means that a hacker will still see their own scores in-game, leading them to believe they have 'cheated' the system and are ranked #1, while in reality they have been banned and their score isn't shown to anyone except them. It only takes us a few minutes to identify and ban a player, since when there' s a leaderboard entry the game also submits the savefile associated with the entry, and if the savefile doesn't solve the level with the same budget as the leaderboard entry the player will most likely get banned. We're looking at possibly automating this process, for now rest assured leaderboards are actively monitored, if you see cheated scores they will generally be removed within 24 hours and the offending player will no longer appear on the leaderboards.

Krievu cūkas I will manually remove your hacked entries in this case, but please consider it an exception, further cheated scores will result in the shadow-ban as mentioned above. If you have further ideas or input I'm happy to hear them :)
