The technology is used in LightBike2, where millions of users are interacting over blazing fast real-time connection.
Pankia introduces grading system. Grades represent the odds if you can beat the opponent. Choose cool grade titles for your game, and throw players in a hardcore competition. You also have leaderboards that are associated with the grade points.
Nearby match feature offers an opportunity to play quickly with nearby friends without the need of internet connecectivity. Connection between devices are established by Bluetooth, so wherever you are with your friends, you can play the game. This feature could be easily integrated with the internet match feature.
Want to save score data in the cloud? No problem. Pankia securely holds all data you post and show them in leaderboards from multiple perspectives. Rankings from worldwide to within friends to personal, periods from daily to monthly.
Reward your players with achievements. Achievements make your game more engaging and addictive. Define some goals, track progress, shower with points every time your player accomplishes them. The more you come up with cool ideas, the more players stick around. Get creative!
Can you imagine a game that's not social? With Pankia, players are able to follow favorite people just as we do on Twitter. How are your rivals doing? What achievements they've got recently? Sharing all those information is the key for sustainable engagement. You can even invite and challenge friends from your friend list using the push notification.
Everyone is given an invisible guest account upon the first launch. However, by securing your account with verified username, email and password, your account data could be transferred to any devices. In case you have multiple accounts - switching between accounts is easy, too.
By linking your Pankia account to Twitter, we find your followers on Twitter who are also on Pankia and add them to your friend list on your behalf. You can tweet, too - brag high scores, report progress - whatever you want to shout out loud, it's all up to you.
Pankia supports multiple languages. Any game elements such as grades, achievements and leaderboards are localizable, and you can attach any numbers of translations to them besides the primary language of your game.
