Statistics

What the game counts about your play and your authoring, how a record is chosen, where the files are and how to delete or freeze them

Two files

The files are JSON, timestamps are UTC. Nothing is uploaded anywhere

The stats folder sits beside levels in the game's folder, Installation. It is never inside a level. That way a level you send a friend does not arrive already won. And your progress survives a level being deleted and re-imported

The Profile tab

Settings → Profile shows the device-wide file:

Times are real seconds, not level time. The checkpoint ramp and a run at half speed count as long as they actually took

The device rows show which device was steering during play. A device that was merely connected does not count

Per level

A level's file keeps:

• when you first and last played it
• real time spent in it and the number of visits
• attempts (every restart is a new one), clears, deaths, hits, dashes
• resumes from a checkpoint and abandoned runs
• the furthest point reached and the first clear
• where in the level you die: by fraction of its length and by checkpoint

Records

A record is filed under the run's conditions: lives, speed, checkpoints on or off, and the bot. Speed counts to hundredths, exactly what the screen shows

A run beats the record under the same conditions when, in this order:

1. it got further
2. it took fewer hits
3. it ended with more lives left
4. it spent fewer dashes

A record also stores the seed of the run and the level's version at the time. The version is not part of the conditions. So a record set before the level was reworked stays visible, with the version beside it

An editor run counts but never records. It adds to attempts, deaths and hits. It gives no record, no best progress and no first clear, because the level existed only in memory

Writing, deleting, freezing

The game writes statistics every 30 seconds. And right away at the end of a run, on a screen change and on quit. A crash costs at most 30 seconds of numbers

• Delete: Settings → Other → Storage. It has Statistics of levels that no longer exist and All statistics, your device profile included
• Delete with a level: deleting a level offers Also delete statistics
• Freeze: anonymous mode stops all writing until the game is closed, Settings
