Local Leaderboards That Actually Work

Zero‑backend high scores with useful constraints.

Published 2025-08-22
For a simple solo game, localStorage is enough. Tips:
  • Store score and ISO timestamp; sort descending; keep top 50.
  • Save only on game over or explicit “Save” to avoid spam entries.
  • Offer a “Reset scores” link for privacy‑minded players.
When you outgrow local, migrate to a tiny serverless function; the front‑end logic remains the same.
