I want to have a leaderboard in the speed running game I'm making, but I don't know if cloud variables work in packaged projects on itch

probably

yeah they still use the turbowarp servers but it's only temporary- so it resets after some time. if you want permanent server storage you need to set up a nodejs server on a free vps or raspberry pi and have that listen for requests so that it can store and give leaderboard data

Thank you! 

That's perfect for the scope of this project

yes but just use cloudlike insted of going through surver hell

cloudlink data is also temporary

yes

i went through server hell and wrote my own websocket server

If you're using PenguinMod I would use Server Storage instead
