Does Shapez 2 have a leaderboard / histogram for completed levels ?

[Cr45h - B4ng - W4110p]

Didn't notice it mentioned on the store page, but is there a leaderboard / histogram for each completed level ? (Shapez 2)

That's something that drives me to keep playing these type of games.

There is a ranking for the operator level (i.e. Top X%), but we don't have a leaderboard right now :)

[Cr45h - B4ng - W4110p]

that's a pity. do you know if you'll be adding one (per level) ?

[tobspr Games]

We'll consider it if there is demand!

would love it if there was something like in the zacktronic games

How would that even work? For some thing like Zachtronics games or Polybridge or any other type of leaderboard or histograms, they work becuse they are many seperate levels with each level being a puzzle. Since this is an open game without levels, and open structure to how you approch every singel item you make, just what are you going to put in an histogram? Or are you considering a milestone a level?

Still, I don't see what you can meassure apart from how long time it took you to go from one milestone to another, and honestly I do not see the reason to do so, this is a nice relaxing game where the whole point is just to faff about and experiment and construct spaghetti monstrosities. I do not see what any such thing will add to the game, but would rather just distract from it.

If something like this was implemented, I would very much like to have to option to turn it off, please.

I really like the ranking system of leaderboard

It gave the players replayability, I can’t tell you how many times I redo TIS 100 (or any zacktronics games ) level just because leaderboard showed me I did it poorly (or if I had very good solution, try to do it even better)

exactly. it really drives re/playability. the developer doesn't even need to know what the most efficient/fastest/etc solution is - the community naturally discover it. knowing there is a more efficient solution, keeps me playing until I figure it out. then i play again to find the fastest solution. etc.

otherwise it's just a glorified idle game, which really seems like a waste. at any rate, with histograms implemented - those who wish to play it like an idler can still do so, and those who want to keep playing to find the best solutions/designs can do so. everyone's happy.

Yes, a leaderboard would be nice, just for the sake of knowing how many people are above me, and what ballpark in terms of level they are at. You know, being top 0.077%, that would be fun to know (BTW, currently, top 0.077% is level 221).

@NashEquil -- Congrats.
Although I'd have posted when you broke 500.

Most leaderboards in other games are always full of cheaters, i dont see a need to add one here

Personally I'd prefer to know what position my operator level puts me in rather than the %. Seeing more and more decimals isn't as exciting as seeing my placement get closer to number 1.

Yeah, but leaderboards implemented via steam tend to be filled with cheaters. To the point where the top 100 all have the same score (e.g. level 65535 or some arbitrary maxvalue). Seen this basically in every steam game that has something like that. There is not much added value in seeing where you place behind all cheaters.

Not sure I see the point. Once all the milestones and tasks are completed that's it. To gain further just means leaving the game running for no other reason.
