One of the really cool things about the upcoming Snake Party Extreme is that for the very first time, the game will have real Leaderboards. Snake360 gave you codes that you had to type into this Web site, and Snake Party had no Leaderboard support at all, but now, we're gonna have real, actual, live Leaderboards! And I'm glad to say that this morning, the game successfully posted a score and time to the Survival Leaderboards.
There are going to be some really cool Leaderboard-related features. I'm not sure if they'll all be in from day one, but this is what I have planned:
- The best 5 global scores/times will be shown during course select (Campaign) or stage select (Survival)
- During Campaign, after each stage, you'll see how far ahead of/behind the world #1 score you are
- On the result screen, you'll immediately see your new world rank if you achieved a new personal best
...but what if you don't actually want to see this stuff? Maybe you don't care about your standing in the world ranking, or maybe you'd rather compare your progress exclusively to your personal bests. No problem! Just choose in Help & Options whether you want to see online or offline scores across the above features. You can still submit to Leaderboards regardless.
I still have some work to do before the game is ready to release, but I'm closer to the end than the beginning, for sure! Please continue to look forward to Snake Party Extreme!
