Arcade Highscore Competition App/Website

Post by Mantrox »

Hey folks,
i was wondering if any of you have ever ran across some application or website that does something similar to this, other than the old highscore threads.
It seems there is a void when it comes to this specific purpose.

It would be great to have a highscore app or site with social media integration where you could upload the photo or video of your score and it would automaticaly alert the players of the group that a new score has been submitted. Messages like "Your score has been beat by _____ , go get it back now!" or "You are just ______ points from breaking into the top 5, go for it!"

An ability to create groups through social media and publish events to those groups as in a "Shmup of the Month", "Weekly Brawler", or a "Puzzle Panic!".

The whole purpose would be to foment some competition across people that usualy are confined in more restricted groups (enthusiast forums, facebook groups, etc...) and have people play very popular games, and more obscure ones.

Some player profiles and stats... There's a ton of possibilities of what you could add to it.

Any thoughts?
Have you found something that does this?
Would it work?
Any developers with a lot of free time out there? :D
