Friendly domestic rivalry
Black Hole Survivor » Devlog
Hello!
In today's update we've expanded on the high score tracking.
- First of all, we now keep track of top-10, instead of only the highest single score.
- In addition we also save which stage was reached when the score was obtained. This number does not count towards the score in any way. but it's a nice statistic regardless. For instance, if you reach the same score in a lower stage; that's an indicator you've been improving your playstyle.
- When your score is high enough to be entered in the top-10; you will be asked to enter your name. The name is also shown in the high score list, so you can keep track who made the score. This will allow for a little bit of friendly domestic rivalry; and show each other who's best!
- Lastly, we moved the button to reset the scores list to the settings menu. We've received feedback that this option was a little too close to the high scores and people worry to accidently press it. By moving it to another menu that risk should be gone. And not to worry; if you accidently press it in the settings menu, you're still asked to confirm if you really want to.
The above changes are available to download in the test version here on Itch. We hope you enjoy them!
This is also a nice opportunity to share we have ambitions to store your scores online as well and add an online leaderboard feature to the game. This should allow for some friendly online rivalry as well, and not just domestic. We're still learning/investigating what it takes to do so, and are comparing places where we can host it, and how to avoid cheaters/abuse. But considering the topic of today, we imagine it might be nice to know where we're heading with this.
Have a nice day!
