We tested an early online mode and loved seeing it in action — but running real-time online play properly costs real money. Hosting servers, syncing rooms across devices, anti-cheat, moderation and a global online leaderboard all add up — especially as more people play.
💰Why it costs moneyLive game rooms, matchmaking, and a fair global ranking system all need always-on servers and storage. The bigger Cross Link grows, the bigger the bill.
🏆What’s in the planCross-device rooms with shared codes, friend invites, reactions during play, and a proper Global Online Leaderboard with weekly & all-time rankings — alongside the offline board you already see below.
💜How you can helpCross Link is a small family project. Sharing the game with friends, leaving feedback, and chipping in via Support Cross Link all genuinely help us get online play built and kept running.
Thank you for playing — every share, every donation and every bit of feedback gets us closer to launching online play.
