Hi Hunters! 👋 I'm Eoussema, the solo indie developer behind SnakeStreak. Reddit The Origin Story: I actually built this to solve my own problem. Standard productivity apps give me zero dopamine. They feel like digital homework, so I’d always abandon them after a few days. I realized I didn't need another spreadsheet — I needed a way to trick my brain into staying consistent by making self-improvement an instant-gratification game. Reddit The Solution: SnakeStreak bridges the gap between a habit tracker and a virtual pet game. Every goal you create hatches a snake. Show up, log your routine, and watch it grow. Miss your days, and your snake weakens and eventually dies. It’s brutal, but it works — it's the only thing that's kept my own habits alive for a month straight. Google Play Key Features: Hatch Your Habits: Turn any daily or weekly goal into a living creature. Google Play Earn Evolutions: Stay consistent to evolve your snake from a Garter up to a King Cobra. Google Play Visual Stakes: 5 distinct health states that reflect your real-time consistency. Google Play 100% Private: Zero data collection; everything stays on your device. Google Play The Ask: I would love your honest feedback! What exotic snake species or retro arcade themes would you want to see added to the Level 3+ evolution tiers? The Offer: As a massive thank you to the community, anyone who downloads the app during our launch week will automatically get a Free Lifetime Pro membership — no subscriptions, just full access to all premium features forever.

What happens if the pet dies, do you have to start over from scratch or is there some kind of recovery option for people who slip up after months of progress?

 Great question! We completely agree that losing months of progress would be devastating, so we built in a safety net. As you stay consistent and build your habit, you actually earn 'Pills of Life.' If you ever slip up, you can use one of these pills to save your pet and keep your progress intact. It rewards your hard work and gives you a buffer for when life happens!

the virtual pet dying when you break a streak is way more motivating than i expected, way better than another habit tracker on my phone.

 This is the best compliment we could ask for! We realized that just checking off boxes on a screen wasn't enough to keep people going on the days motivation drops. The emotional connection and the high stakes of keeping your pet alive bring that necessary extra push. Thanks for being on this journey with us!
