Core features

Plug-and-play components let you compose tournaments, scoring rules, and skins. A small API connects to any backend while keeping match state deterministic for replays and adjudication.

Leaderboard mesh

Federate scores across shards and replay top runs with frame-accurate scrubbing.

Modular rules

Chain rule nodes for subtle variations — time bonuses, power-ups, or asymmetric goals.

Private lobbies

Invite code flows, spectate mode, and persistent room settings for tournaments.

Creator UI

Visual flow for designers to map wins, penalties, and cosmetic toggles with instant preview.

How it works — in three steps

Assemble

Drag nodes, connect scoring, and test with virtual players. Rules are composable and reversible.

Host

Spin up a lobby or enqueue an asynchronous challenge. Matches auto-record for highlights.

Iterate

Tweak weights, replay runs, and publish patches without breaking live rooms.

Gallery — snapshots from the wild

Arcade nights, speedrun highlights, and community cups. Each image is a modular configuration: rules, cosmetics, and HUD saved as a shareable preset.

Creators use these presets to seed weekly contests, and viewers can vote on modifiers mid-match through the spectator HUD.

What creators say

“We launched a weekly cup with a custom scoring twist and saw a 3× retention bump. The replay tools made balance transparent.” — Lena, indie studio

“ArcadeForge let our streamer schedule safe viewer events with private lobbies and integrated overlays.” — Marco, broadcaster

FAQ

Is latency handled for live matches?

Yes. We provide both speculative client-side smoothing and authoritative reconciliation. For tight twitch matches, use tick-sync mode.

Can I host my own leaderboards?

Absolutely. The SDK includes adapters for common storage; you can federate scores or keep them private to your instance.
