Leaderboard by cumulative scores or by best score
ezLadder automatically computes the leaderboards you want from the scores you sent. You can generate leaderboard by cumulative scores, by best score, or even both. In addition, you can have multiple rankings per game, very useful if your game has several modes!
Indication of the player's progress in the leaderboard
ezLadder allows you to know the progress of each player since a date you want. So you can tell how many rank he has won (or lost) since last week, for example. All in one request!
Achievements
ezLadder also allows you to manage the achievements of your players.
These can have a name, a description, an icon, and progression level ranging from 0 to 100%. Whenever a player completes or progresses in a achievement, there is only one method to call for save this.
Total control of the scores received
You can totally manage the scores sent by the players. From the entire leaderboard to a specific individual score, passing by the player, you can manually delete everything in the admin console. A flaw in your game? A hint of cheating? You easily fix the leaderboard so that it stays right.
Custom and predefined leaderboard period
You can get the leaderboard for any period you want. Set start and end date, that's all ! Even better, some predefined leaderboards exist, such as "yesterday", "this week", "last month"... You don't have to calculate the dates.
Secure Rest API that does not require authentication from your players, or third-party application installation
Your players do not need to login or create an account on ezLadder. The only thing that is needed is that your application generates a unique key that will serve to identify the player on his device. You are free to choose how.
And of course, all calls to the API use HTTPS.
