Lucky Shot is not a competitive shooter, and it does not aim to become one. But it is always fun to share with your friends: “Look at the crazy run I had bro. It was peak.”

We wanted to replicate that feeling, but for the whole Lucky Shot community!

Wt* is run score?

Run score is the final result of a calculation we do based on different values, like economy power, targets destroyed, accuracy, and more.

This is separate from your run high score, which is the highest amount of points you reached in a round.

A lot of this calculation will change over time as we keep balancing the game and discovering new ways to calculate score, so I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the exact formula.

Just know this: the better you play, the higher your run score!

Some leaderboard trivia!

We wanted to share some of the findings we have since June 15!

  • + 470 Runs reached the leaderboard!

  • The pistol was the most common weapon, used in 413 runs

  • The run with most holos equipped had 367 holos

  • The run with most bullets equipped had 2147483647 explosive bullets!

  • The biggest highscore was 1.37E5861373089

  • The most equipped holo was "The king". He truly is a king!

Previous leaderboard development

This was the 0.0000001 version of the leaderboard. It sucked!

We would love to bring images back so we can show them on the new leaderboard, but some of you are... particular about profile pic decisions.

No shame, though!

Another thank you message

We really appreciate everyone who participated in the Next Fest demo.

The Lucky Shot demo is not over yet, but Next Fest holds a special place in every developer’s heart.

It was awesome to meet a bunch of new people and watch, in real time, as players tried to become number 1 while finding bugs along the way.

Thanks so much!
