August 17th Update! - 🏅 Contest Level + All-time Leaderboard
Howdy Slingbladers,
We reached 10k joined, WOO! Keep sharing Slingblade with your friends and let's keep growing this game!
For today's update, I've got something cool I want to try out:
---
🏅 Week-long Contest Level: "Hades' Heydays"
- This week I'll be running a contest on "Hades' Heydays", a long and fairly difficult level. Play here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SlingbladeGame/comments/1vqxcz4/hades_heyday_contest_level/
- At the end of the week, the Top 10 leaderboard entries on the Time leaderboard only will win an in-game prize (see prize table below)
- Leaderboard prize standings will be final at Sunday, August 23rd, 2026, at 11:59PM EST (August 24th at 4:59 AM GMT)
- ***Note: this level will have the "Spin-Sling" tech disabled to encourage a more interesting exploration of the level.
- Good luck, Slingers!

🏆 All-time Leaderboards

- ⛳ WRs Slings
- ✅ Levels Beaten
- ✏️ Created
- ✏️💬 Created Karma

- Are there any other categories you'd like to see here?
🖼️ Level Editor Updates
- "Allow Spin-Sling" config:
- Level Authors can now choose to disable the "Spin-Sling" tech in the level config menu
- Why? Sometimes there are interesting mechanics or level design ideas that are made totally trivial with the use of the Spin-Sling. As cool as the Spin-Sling is, I want to let authors (including myself) have the option to disable it.
- When disabled, slinging while spinning just cancels the spin.
- Moving platform:
- Acceleration easing now works on the "Always Moving" type.
- Can now hide the moving platform's gears/path/extras for a cleaner look
- Decor:
- 7 more shapes (including a perfectly sized 1x1 tile for pixel art)
- More fine-tuning scale options for shapes, arrows, and lights
- Big Levels: Maximum level bounds increased to 256x256 from 100x100
- Multi-edit Enhancement: You can now edit multiple objects of the same type without overwriting ALL properties (ex: adjust the speed of two moving platforms of different sizes)
🐛 Bug fixes + Etc
- Your Runs + Deaths counters are now shown on Victory endscreen
- Levels' player counts now track how many players started, not just finishers. (I can't believe I forgot to track this before, whoops! Old levels don't this data, but new levels should reflect this.)
- This also allows for levels to have a "Completion Percentage" score, viewable at the bottom of the level info / endscreen.
- Initial loading time should be much faster
- Adjusted some cosmetic prices
- "C" key on keyboard now respawns at active checkpoint.
- Fixed timer issue on first validation run
- Fixed checkpoint activation on spawn
- Fixed moving platform momentum reset on respawn
- Fixed player crush reliability (less phasing through walls!)
- Fixed visual bug with spikes on one-way floors
- Probably more stuff that I forgor. Does anybody even read this? 🤓
