Game records and scores

Where scores come from. The game itself reports the score the moment a round ends. You never type it in, so there are no made-up numbers on the board. Every score carries a round signature: the server knows this round really happened, in this game and on this device, and that it lasted longer than a blink. A score higher than the game can produce at all is rejected on the spot.

Today, 7 days and all-time. The daily board resets at midnight so a new player has a real chance to reach the top the same evening. The 7-day board is a rolling window (today and the six days before it, with no Monday reset), and the all-time board keeps the highest score of every device since its first round. On each board one best score per person counts: ten rounds in a row do not take ten places.

Medals of the day. Scores from different games cannot be compared, so the portal counts medals: gold, silver and bronze for places 1–3 of the day in every game. Whoever collects the most is champion of the day. When nobody has played yet today, the table shows the latest day with scores, with its date.

Score cap and scores under review. The developer sets in the studio the highest score the game can produce, and such a game carries a “cap ✓” mark and any score above the cap is rejected on the spot. A game without a cap is marked “no cap”. Regardless of the cap, a score more than ten times higher than the next one on the board (once the board has at least ten entries) is marked “under review”: it stays under the game but does not count for medals. Any score can be reported, and the game's developer can remove an entry.

Ranks. From Recruit to General: for playing, not for paying. Starting a round gives 1 XP (up to 30 a day), a saved score 5 XP (up to 10 scores a day), the first score of the day 10 XP plus a streak bonus for consecutive days (5 XP per day of the streak, up to seven), a medal of the day 30/20/10 XP after midnight, a new all-time record in a game with at least three players 50 XP. XP never goes down; a day off only resets the streak. The insignia stands next to the nickname on every board.

No account, your own nickname. You don't have to sign in. You type a nickname under the game or here and can change it any time. It signs all your scores, including the ones before the change. The board does not know your name or your e-mail address, only the score and the nickname you chose.

Scores arrive even without a connection. If the connection dropped just as your round ended, the score waits in your browser and reaches the board on its own when the network is back, even if you only return to the portal the next day. Nothing to retry, nothing to type again.

Sharing a record. After a round the Share button under the game carries a ready sentence with your score and the game's address: into a message, onto a social feed or to the clipboard. Whoever taps it lands straight in the game, no install and no account, and can try to beat you.

Games that don't report scores yet. Not every game talks to the board. We say so plainly under its name instead of promising a record that cannot be set. The developer adds the klyo kit with a few lines in the game, and the board starts on its own, with no request and no waiting for us.
