Can anyone recommend an alternative to Corona Cloud? I had some plans to implement it on an app I’m working on. Specifically I am looking to be able to have a leaderboard for my users.
How about…
* Google Play Game Services for Android (and perhaps iOS too?)
* Game Center for iOS
* Facebook Score API for Facebook users (device independent)

Thanks! I didn’t realize Facebook had this. I will do more research into this one, as I would like to have a global leaderboard system independent of device OS. I am assuming I should start here: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/social/setupFacebook/index.html
Just so you know, unlike Game Center or Google Play Game Services, Facebook Score API will only retrieve scores of FB friends. If the user’s friends are not playing the game, or even if his/her friends are playing but none of them sign in to FB, then the FB Score API will only retrieve the score of the user and no other.
That means, FB Score API based leaderboard you build may show a single entry for the user until your game becomes quite popular and lots of FB users start posting their scores.

Ah, bummer. That won’t work for me. Is there a service that is similar to Corona Cloud/Gameminion?
