i'm sorry about the glitches guys, the main reason behind this was not the lack of playtesting but the terrible coding style that I used with the visual scripting of the stencyl engine. Since it's a super simple engine, I couldn't add any particles or post processing to spice up the look. I am very glad that I moved to the unity engine. Thanks for the feedback though!
whoops, wrong account lol! If anyone would be willing to give me instructions on how to implement a working leaderboard that could show up inside of the game it would be great
