[QUOTE="jonesjb, post: 289656, member: 2290"] I got some further information from Zen, which might be worth sharing on your podcast: - There 7 different leaderboards in total and 4 of them stems from 'Arcade Play' and the others are for 'Survival', '1 Ball' and '5 Minute Challenge'. Also, every table has its own leaderboard. - Your rank is for the highest ever achieved. - The rank is based purely on your score. In Arcade Play there are different physics and difficulties that could be enabled and all those variations have their own leaderboards. You could get a higher rank by achieving a higher score. [B]I then responded with the following... [/B] [I]I'd like to recommend that you explore how the challenge leaderboards are generated: -It looks like you have lowered the scores required to finished the challenges, this means that it's virtually impossible to increase your place on the leaderboard (since the challenge ends when you pass the required score). -Only the hard challenges would are relevant for the leaderboard, since the easy and standard has a lower target score. Challenges are one of the key reasons I come back, so it would be ideal if each play on a challenge has an opportunity of placing on the leaderboard. The way it currently is, it's almost impossible. Great game, just providing feedback that will help. [/I] [B]Zen then thanked me for my insights, and says it makes sense and it's a good point that they will forward onto developers.[/B] [/QUOTE]
