The catalog

Self-imposed rules,ordered by proof.

Every challenge in here was written down by players, not by a developer. What the catalog adds is one line per rule: who holds it — the game, a recording, or you. That line decides whether a run earns XP.

305 rules · 96 games · 125 class A

Class A — enforced by the game
The mode itself prevents breaking the rule. A screenshot of the end state settles it, and the run earns XP and a place on the leaderboard.
Class B — provable on video
Nothing enforces it, but the run is short enough that one recording covers every rule. The community checks it, and it earns XP.
Class C — honor system
Nobody can check it, so it earns no XP. It earns a badge and an entry in your chronicle. These are the runs the whole thing is about.
