Is there a way to implement this with new nigthly builds (or next version) apparently you can do this since forums have been filled with new scripts implementing different kind of functionalities. How to implement this and with what service provider? Should be an easy add operation against web service end point, right?

    Why do people assume stuff is easy? In pro version you can export either attributes via the URL behavior to a PHP script or with the new multiplayer stuff you can export table data as a json file to a MySQL database. This functions are new and you'd need to do the web end yourself or hire someone who does.

    As a .NET solution architect I can assure you that back end would be the easiest part of this task. Restful based CR would be enough
    Create for adding new score (if it wouldn't be greater than last submitted score it wouldn't be saved)
    Retrieve for getting your current position on chart and top 10.
    with oData protocol (odata.org) this could be generated from DB tables /(MS SQL/MySQL)
    Each game and scene/level would be identified by parts of an URL.
    Data you would need to collect [unique username/identifier], [score/time] + plus some authentication token to prevent misuse of your service, this json would be sent for example to your cloud hosted service

    With GameSalad's PHP capabilities I have no idea since I'm not a pro user
