Streaks and the Batata Score
Two numbers follow a player around Batata that have nothing to do with any single game: the streak, which measures days, and the Batata Score, which measures everything you have ever scored. Both are deliberately simple, and both are deliberately not competitions.
What counts as a streak day
A streak day is a day on which you finished a run. Opening the app is not enough, and two runs on one day are still one day. Days are counted on the UTC calendar, the same clock every weekly leaderboard runs on, so the day changes at the same moment for everyone.
The grace
A streak stays alive for 48 hours after your last run. That covers the day you played, the next day, and one day of grace after it. A day without a run is forgiven once; while the grace is running, Batata sends one reminder. Miss the grace day too and the streak starts again from one.
Milestones
The streak marks 7, 30, 100, 365, 500, 730 and 1,000 days. Your profile shows the next milestones ahead of you and the ones you have passed.
The Batata Score
The Batata Score is a lifetime ledger. Every completed run adds its score to it, and it never goes down. It climbs through eleven ranks: Raw, Peeled, Sliced, Seasoned, Cooking, Sizzling, Fried, Crispy, Loaded, Golden and Chef. Raw and Peeled are the potato before it is cooked; from Sliced to Golden the heat climbs; Chef is beyond gold.
Why there is no Batata Score leaderboard
Leaderboards on Batata belong to games, and every score on them is verified before it counts. The Batata Score is a flex, not a race: it shows how much you have played, which is nothing to rank people by and nothing worth cheating for. That is why it needs no integrity machinery of its own, and why it is allowed to simply add up.
