Kongregate is a popular online games hosting website which allows users to upload user-created Adobe Flash or Unity3D games. It features an API that flash developers can integrate into their games which allows users to submit high scores and in some games, earn achievement badges. Badges and local score submissions are only available on games whose developers choose to use the Kongregate API.
Kongregate has a system of points, which are prizes awarded for performing certain on-site actions. There are several ways to gain points on Kongregate, such as rating games, rating artwork, rating user-created levels, earning achievements, creating games, completing quests, and completing challenges. The site has stated plans to make points redeemable for certain prizes, but the feature is not yet available.
As part of Kongregate's points system, there is a badge system similar to that found on Microsoft's Xbox Live gaming hub. Registered users have the opportunity to win badges upon reaching particular requirements (called achievements), for example killing a designated number of enemies, reaching a certain level, or building a certain number of turrets in certain games.
For each badge, a user is awarded a specific amount of points based on the difficulty of the achievement. The "Easy" badges are worth 5 points, the "Medium" badges are worth 15 points, the "Hard" badges are worth 30 points and the "Impossible" badges are worth 60 points.
In addition, Kongregate offers cards used in the game Kongai as special prizes for accomplishing weekly challenges.
