Stars Leaderboard

This page is still a W.I.P. (Work In Progress), therefore, it is unfinished. It is recommended to edit it to make it complete.

The **Stars Leaderboard** is an in-game leaderboard for the players with the most stars on TGDPS. Stars can be gained by completing levels, map packs, daily levels, and gauntlets.

## History

### 2021

The first few stargrinders when TGDPS released were players such as altmars, nowar, and Youngs. Altmars was the first to reach 100 and 200 stars. However, altmars became inactive after reaching 204 stars a month after TGDPS released. The top three now consisted of Nowar, Youngs, and Swagwarrior. Youngs was at the top of the stars leaderboard while Swag was second and Nowar was third. Though after he stopped beating rated levels fast, Swag was surpassed by Nowar in July 2021. In the next few months, Nowar would gain stars at a rate faster then any other player at the time, and eventually became the player with the most stars in September 2021, he also became the first TGDPS player to reach 1k stars. Though in December 2021, Youngs would gain stars faster and reclaim his spot at #1. Swagwarrior was knocked out of the top three at the same time and was replaced by Tal9988 due to a data loss. He went back into the top three after surpassing Tal in February 2022.

### 2022

In March 2022, two new star grinders entered: Kyrgyz and Hamotho. Kyrgyz gained 837 stars before quitting less then a month after initially joining, and never reached the top three unlike Hamotho. Hamotho gained stars faster then anyone else and surpassed Swagwarrior in April 2022. 1 month later, he surpassed Nowar in the rankings. Nowar hadn't gained any stars since March of the same year due to having almost no interest in TGDPS. The race between Youngs and Hamotho then began. Youngs became the first to reach 2k stars in July 2022. Two months later, Hamotho reached 2k stars, and the difference in stars was now less then 100. Youngs was still gaining a good amount of stars, but it wasn't enough. Youngs 10 month reign at #1 would come to an end in October 2022 after Hamotho finally surpassed him. Shortly after, Nowar, who had still managed to be in the top three despite inactivity, fell out after he lossed a ton of stars because he logged onto another device. Nowar would be replaced by a player called Tonyearl, who was also inactive. Tony was surpassed by Tal9988 less then a month later. At the same time, a player called Splash reached the top three despite not even playing for a month. He was then leaderboard banned for hacking levels. In November 2022, Tal was surpassed at #3 by Swagwarrior, who had been inactive in-game for a few months. In November, he gained over 500 stars. He also became the 3rd TGDPS player to reach 2k stars. At the end of the year, Youngs reclaimed his #1 position due to Hamotho being slightly inactive.

### 2023

At the start of 2023, there was a stargrind race for the #3 spot between Swagwarrior and a new player, Demoonic. It started during the final week of 2022, however it started heating up during the start of January. The difference in stars between the two was always changing every 24 hours. Eventually, Demoonic came out on top. Unfortunately for Demoonic, his position at #3 would not last long, as a new player called Jarmez surpassed him despite playing for a little under a month. In February, Youngs was surpassed by Jarmez, which put him at #2 on the leaderboard, behind Hamotho, who had just reached 3k stars, being the first to do so. Shortly after, Demoonic would surpass Youngs, knocking him out of the top three for the first time in his TGDPS career. Youngs would also lose more than 600 stars due to a data loss, putting him at #6. Jarmez would eventually surpass Hamotho, ending his 5 month reign. Demoonic would fall out of the top three in April 2023 due to inactivity, he was surpassed by Swagwarrior.
