Arcade Scores

What Is Arcade Scores?

Arcade Scores is the starting point for Zendigo’s high-score tracking system: arcade runs, retro score hunts, manual scoreboards, future community submissions, and eventually full game leaderboards.

This first version is manual and simple. The long-term goal is a full score hub with player accounts, submitted games, verification, and live broadcasting status.

High scores first. Full arcade hub later.

Future Platform Direction

The future version should work like a mix of arcade leaderboard, score archive, and live community hub.

  • User Accounts: player profiles, avatars, history, badges, and linked socials.
  • Social Linking: Twitch, Kick, YouTube, Steam, Speedrun, X, Bluesky, and more.
  • Live Status: Twitch and Kick first, showing who is live for tracked games.
  • Submissions: users submit games, scores, proof, and corrections.

Arcade Scores Hub

Arcade Scores is becoming the root hub for player profiles, score submissions, game suggestions, Retro Vault library tracking, live score grinds, and future leaderboard systems.

Player profiles are starting as manually approved pages. Retro Vault is starting as the source catalog for games, companies, platforms, events, score potential, and future game pages.

Scoreboards, players, applications, and Retro Vault live under Arcade Scores.

Zendigo Mini-Games

Playable browser mini-games built as part of the Zendigo Arcade side projects. These are small promo games, test builds, and future arcade experiments.

Small games first. Bigger chaos later.

Flappy Face

A quick meme arcade test. Keep the broadcast alive, dodge the signal gates, and protect the face from total signal failure.

Zeta Saves The Human

Planned 9-level platformer starring Zeta. Empty bowl. Missing owner. Rescue operation required.

Planned

Retro RPG Project

Future retro-style RPG concept. Turn-based or small action-RPG direction to explore after the first two mini-games.

Submit A Score

Score submissions start in Discord. Use the score-submissions channel and include the game, category, score, platform, proof, and notes.

  • Game: title and version.
  • Category: score attack, arcade original, one credit, or custom ruleset.
  • Score: final score or tracked result.
  • Proof: screenshot, clip, stream VOD, or video link.
  • Platform: arcade, emulator, console, collection, or PC release.

Submit A Game

Game submissions help decide what gets leaderboard support first. Suggested games should be score-friendly, rule-friendly, and reasonable to verify.

  • Game Title: exact name.
  • Platform: arcade board, emulator, console, or collection.
  • Score Type: points, waves, survival, distance, or custom.
  • Rules: suggested settings and limitations.
  • Reason: why this game belongs on the board.

Currently Live Direction

Twitch

Live Game Status

Future game pages should show linked users who are live on Twitch while playing that tracked game or category.

Kick

Alt Live Space

Kick should be planned alongside Twitch as a primary live platform for player profiles and game pages.

YouTube

Archive First

YouTube remains important for videos, VODs, clips, and proof. Live detection can come later if practical.

Live score attempts belong in 📺|live-score-grinds.

Verification Rules Preview

  • Manual Review First: early scores are reviewed manually before being treated as verified.
  • Proof Matters: screenshots may work for casual boards, but top scores should need stronger proof.
  • Rules Per Game: every tracked game needs clear rules before serious leaderboard tracking.
  • Platform Clarity: arcade, emulator, console, remake, and collection versions should be separated when needed.
  • Verified Results: approved scores may be posted in ✅|verified-scores and added to the website leaderboard.
  • Community Expansion: account-based submissions, game pages, and public leaderboards come later.
