Not enough of the ladder to compare.

Only ratings could be plotted, so there is no second counter to compare the timing against.

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 14 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below.

A blank change is not a zero: the scoring pass refuses a window whose nearest observation is too stale to compare, rather than differencing two points that are not seven days apart.

A climb is places gained, so a positive number means it moved up. The line rises when the game is climbing, which is the opposite direction to the raw position.

No devlog has been posted since we started watching on 2026-08-20. itch.io publishes only the most recent devlog date, so anything posted before then leaves no trace here.

We hold counters and metadata only. Nothing on the game’s own page — its description, its screenshots, its build — is republished here, and everything worth reading about it is behind those links.
