sobosuba high scores and the 16K clips

Milestones people actually posted

• 2026-08-18 — nick666101, “The 16K Blob.” The description claims an early legitimate 16384 clear and mentions a 20k-plus score that later disappeared from a board. Those are this uploader's statements, not a current certified record.
• 2026-09-20 — Horus Kawashima uses a Ranking 1st / world record title and describes making 16384 for the third time. This remains a creator claim.
• 2026-10-15 — Noobly Walker’s Steam guide: the author had made four 16384 blobs and sat in the top 25. Same guide, only source: “over eighty” people in the 16k club, fewer than ten past the 24k wall (16384+8192), nobody past the 28k wall (add 4096). ZokWobblefotz is named as the first past 24k. A 32768 is described as filling the pool. All of that is one guide on one date.

Ladder, not a promise

The doubling line players talk about is 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, then the combined piles at 24576 and 28672, then a theoretical 32768. Those sums are arithmetic on the powers of two the clips already show. They are not certified scores.

Patch 1.2 added a friends filter for live scores. That is an official note. It does not publish the global top.

Three different kinds of number

The video dates make the claims attributable; they do not make them current. View counts have been omitted because popularity does not verify a score. To work toward a documented challenge rather than a ranking claim, see the Steam achievement list. Keep the source date beside any comparison you share.
