Achievements & Leaderboards

Seashine connects to Apple Game Center and Google Play Games to track your milestones and let you compare your survival runs against explorers worldwide.

Here you will find answers to common questions about achievement status, account resets, and high scores.

Can I reset my achievements to start fresh?

Section titled “Can I reset my achievements to start fresh?”

No. You can switch to a different account on Google Play Games or Apple Game Center if you want a clean slate. Just remember that on Android, your cloud save is tied directly to your Google Play Games account.

Why can’t I unlock two of the achievements?

Section titled “Why can’t I unlock two of the achievements?”

The Treasure Hunter and Carnivorous Plant achievements were disabled in-game due to technical and lore changes. Unfortunately, platform restrictions on Google Play and the App Store prevent me from hiding or disabling them from the public achievement list in the meantime.

Both achievements will be re-enabled in the upcoming update with revised requirements:

  • Treasure Hunter will become a Moai Hunter achievement. Sunken treasure chests were removed for lore consistency and will not return. Explorable structures in a future update will reintroduce discovery elements in a completely new format.
  • Carnivorous Plant will return alongside a giant Venus flytrap anemone, replacing the legacy “plant.”

Why isn’t my new high score showing on the leaderboard?

Section titled “Why isn’t my new high score showing on the leaderboard?”

Seashine uses a background validation monitor to verify scores before publishing them to the global leaderboard. Any score exceeding a high threshold enters a review phase to prevent cheating.

Your high score is always saved safely on your local device.

Simply keep playing. The system will automatically validate and submit your local record to the global leaderboard once it has gathered enough gameplay data to confirm your skill profile.

The monitor is very forgiving. If your score is held under review for an extended period, it typically indicates an extreme statistical anomaly—such as a massive gap between your average runs and this single score—which triggered the anti-cheat safeguard.
