Time and completion directly influence score, so separating by them is not necessary. Spicy/salty functionally share the same scores because of how death detracts from score. Pungent is intended as more of a challenge to take on for the sake of it, so it should not get a different score, this will make a high pungent score on the leaderboard more of an accomplishment. Easy mode should just get a slight change in score, like 75% or something like that.

To do:

~~Use bitshift magic to store the time and score within the same score entry on NGIO~~
Hook game up to new scoreboard server
Test and refine scoreboard server
Decide whether per-player authentication/putting passwords on scoreboard names is important
Set up easy mode score multiplier.
Adapt score browsing screen to these changes.

The separate leaderboards for times and scores and different difficulties is a bit cumbersome to navigate and makes it hard to get an overview of the level's leaderboard at a glance, as you have to decide the exact kind of runs you are looking at.
