Hey, don’t worry about the leaderboard or the prototype! I’m just really excited about the game, and in my enthusiasm, I tend to talk too much, trying to contribute somehow. Don’t take my words too seriously. Keep doing what you do best!

A bit late to say that only scores above 60k used cheating? It’s pretty easy to reach ~45k on “hard” difficulty; the real challenge is not having your computer freeze.
Now, if the goal is to prevent the entire leaderboard from being filled with the same name, I think it would be interesting to restrict repetition.
That could be a bit tricky, hehehe.
Right now, it’s possible to start the game without selecting a difficulty, which means enemies aren’t triggered. This way, I gathered all the resources, removed all the mining stations, and built the cannons before any attacks. It saved me CPU time, and I was able to reach the top of the leaderboard without too much trouble.
Speaking of the leaderboard… I imagine this structure is limited to the prototype, but I have to mention it: if a leaderboard is part of the final version, I think it is wise to consider a fixed amount of resources for the map or difficulty level. At the moment, it’s variable, and that can affect individual results. Anyone lucky enough to get fat asteroids will definitely have an advantage.
