I was playing Sprawl in single-player mode and had a very lucky spawn set with seven blues. I played a very poor game, but since the spawn set was so lucky, I saved the spawns using the new feature. After a couple more tries, I pulled off 274 points, which should put me in second place. However, when I checked the leaderboards for Sprawl, my score wasn't registered. (It's still displayed under the level picture as my best time though.)

My question: Do games using saved spawns count toward the leaderboards?

There was supposed be a dialog for this, but apparently it's broken (TIL).

Your assumption is correct, saved spawns do not count on the leaderboards. The main reason we chose this was because we felt it wasn't completely "legitimate" gameplay. Normally, the game spawns gems at random, unknown locations, but if you use saved spawns, you can take the time to memorize where the gems will appear, and be able to get a higher score.

Sorry for any confusion, <fixes message box for beta 4>

Thanks, that's helpful but it still says that I have my 274 in practice mode with the Ultimate sticker next to it. So, in this case, would you say I legitamately beat the UT or not? (this is for my personal score, I don't care about my leaderboard score.)
