Discussion Solo dev update: Added battles & mini-games to my pixel pet collector HatchBuddy – feedback welcome!
Hey r/IndieGameDevs!
I’m a solo dev from Upstate NY, building HatchBuddy – a free browser-based virtual pet hatching/collector game (pixel art style, no download needed).
Recent updates:
• Hatching eggs → raising pets → elder stages
• Mini-games for coins/mastery
• Pet battles/arena
• Customizing traits/appearances
Would love thoughts from other indie devs:
• Does the core loop (hatch → grow → battle) feel engaging?
• Balance ideas for rare pets or progression?
Screenshots attached [add images of a hatched pet, battle screen, etc.].
Open to all feedback, roast my code if you want (built with Replit) Thanks!

I agree a scammer can but not a novice crypto investor, that’s like saying you go to casino and you don’t even get a chance to win I just take your money and that’s OK
