In the end, almost 70 of you played my compo entry Super Survival Ball, the true ultimate ball game, and it was met with a very positive reception that I am deeply grateful for. Here are the final judging results for it:

Not quite what I was hoping for, but I'm pleased that my best category was fun, as that was my goal.

That's not why I'm writing today, though. As those of you who played it know, I ambitiously added an online leaderboard feature that allowed for everyone who played the game to face off for the high score. And now that judging is over, it's time to recognize those extraordinary players who not only played my game, but excelled, and showed themselves to be ball game champions by scoring over 1 billion points!

Keep in mind that players were able to enter any name they wanted, so I don't know who these people are.

1. SodaKing, 10,522,729,190 | The only player with over 10 billion points is SodaKing, a true master of bouncing balls. Godspeed, SodaKing.

2. Me, 9,148,285,150 | This run was my attempt to dethrone SodaKing. I stood no chance.

3. Cae, 4,148,655,450

4. Tempii, 4,080,410,810

5. Me again, 3,274,112,780

6. TheCamel, 2,721,956,360 | This one is a friend of mine from work.

7. Zanthous, 2,225,085,980

8. Me again, 2,040,812,750 | I had to play a lot in testing, obviously.

9. Endurion, 1,325,558,680

10. Rille, 1,175,148,370

11. Tempii, 1,075,712,900

12. Tempii, 1,010,866,240

Thank you to Tempii, in particular, for playing so many times.
