Leaderboard question

[Potrzebie]

I just got a pretty respectable score (Funhouse 101m+) and realized afterward that I wasn't online and logged in. Will the score be eventually posted on the leaderboard after the fact?

I don't think so, you have to be logged in for scores to be saved to the leaderboards. This is how it works for iOS anyway.

Yeah, you need to have an online connection. If my internet is down, I don't play at all for the fear that I'd set a super high score that doesn't register

When I first started playing TPA for real, I didn't know how the leaderboard thing worked exactly. So I took my iPad on holiday in an appartment without Wi-fi and promptly posted a 1.6B Monsterbash game. It took me then another year or so, to beat that score. So now I go only to places with Wi-Fi....

Yeah, I thought as much. Perhaps this might be an issue for a future update. How hard would it be to poll the device's high-score lists and do an update to the leaderboard?

would likely make hacking even easier.

I was thinking about that (hacking being easier), but I couldn't think of a way to exploit being offline and then afterwards getting a readout of your scores for online posting. Then again, I'm a standup guy.... And posting how is not good anyway. Probably too much hacking happening already if you look at leaderboards, even with real score showing up on the wrong lists.
