How the board works

A leaderboard for iPhone and Android games from small studios. Nobody pays for anything. Ever.

Listing a game

Paste one App Store or Google Play link. We pull the title, icon, developer and description from the store. That's all we accept: apps.apple.com and play.google.com.
Every new listing starts with 1,000 credits.
One listing per store page. If your game is on both stores, list one, wait 10 minutes, then list the other.
iPhone visitors see the iOS board. Android visitors see the Android board.

The board is ranked by credits remaining, highest first. Ties go to the older listing.
Every tap on a game opens its store page and spends one credit. Getting attention costs you, so nobody camps at #1.
Only one tap per person per game per day counts. Extra taps still open the store; they just don't spend anything.
Every listing gets +27 credits a day, so a drained game floats back up on its own.
A game at 0 credits is still listed and still opens; it just sits at the bottom.

Every game has a share link. Send it anywhere.
When a new visitor arrives through your link and taps any other game, your game earns +27 credits.
Each visitor counts once per game, ever. Your own visits don't count.
Anyone can share any game's link, not just its developer.

Every so often, at a random moment between 27 minutes and 4½ hours after the last one, we look at spot #27 on each board.
Whoever is sitting there becomes the featured game, pinned at the top until the next draw.
While featured, taps on that game are free. They open the store and cost nothing.
With fewer than 27 games on a board, the lucky spot wraps around (with 10 games, it's #7).
A game can't be featured twice in a row; #28 takes it instead.
We never show when the next draw is. That's the point.

Games only, from small studios. We check at submission time:
Google Play: the public download count must be below 100,000 (a "50K+" badge or lower).
App Store: Apple doesn't publish downloads, so we use ratings as a proxy: no more than 1,500, and the developer has no more than 25 apps on the store.
Well-known publishers are turned away regardless.
See a big studio slipping through, or something that isn't a game? Use the flag on its row. Flagged listings get reviewed and removed without notice.
Listings with no share activity for 60 days are archived. A share that earns credits brings them back.

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to keep bots out, and we count one tap per visitor per game per day.
We never store your IP address, only a one-way hash of it.
Illegal, malicious, deceptive or adult listings are removed on sight.
