Leaderboard
Encourage player competition using the Leaderboard module from Yarsa Play. Translate player’s victory in terms of ranking with the use of missions, tasks, daily challenges, or by fulfilling any other pre-defined goals.
Using the stats module, you can include player-focused statistics such as total kills, missions completed, achievements unlocked, significant milestones, and other engaging criteria. These metrics can help determine their placement on a customizable leaderboard created by your development team.
You can customize the leaderboards in the following ways:
-
Align with Your Game’s Theme: Create leaderboards that reflect the unique aesthetics and narrative of your game.
-
Customize Duration and Reset Intervals: Tailor the duration and reset frequency of your leaderboards. This feature keeps the competition fresh, allowing players to challenge themselves and each other within specific timeframes, ensuring ongoing excitement and engagement.
-
Reward Players Based on Achievements and Rankings: Implement a rewards system that acknowledges players’ accomplishments and standings on the leaderboard. This can include in-game currency, exclusive items, or recognition within the community, motivating players to strive for higher ranks and celebrate their progress. Learn more in Leaderboard Rewards.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Custom name of the leaderboard. |
| Description | Describe the criteria used by the leaderboard to rank players. |
