Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’ve always been a hardcore gamer, but then two toddlers showed up and completely hijacked my free time. 😅 Nowadays, my gaming sessions are shorter, and I've shifted mostly to single-player games.
The problem? I kept discovering games I wanted to play, saving them randomly in Notes, WhatsApp messages, or loose screenshots—and completely forgetting about them. I looked for an existing app to track my backlog, but the current options felt either too non-intuitive, confusing, slow, stuck in an outdated UI, or just missing the features I actually wanted.
So, as a developer myself, I thought: why not build it myself? I wanted something fast, intuitive, appealing, clean, and with every feature I wanted. That’s how GameRoll was born—not just a tracker, but a full social network built for gamers, by gamers (well, just one for the moment! 😅).
Here is how GameRoll is structured:
📡 Radar: Stay updated with your friends' activity, gaming news, events, and "Pings" (story-like updates on what people are currently playing or doing).
🔍 Discovery: Smart recommendations based on your played games, hot games this week, most wishlisted, top-rated, latest and upcoming releases, time-to-beat metrics, and a deep search engine with filters and sorting.
🎲 My Roll: Manage your pending and playing games manually or spin the roll to let the app pick your next game when you're indecisive. Also, if you find a gaming post on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or X, share it directly to GameRoll and it will find the game for you to add! Every game also keeps its own play history timeline and private notes.
💬 Social: Every game features a dedicated hub split into three independent tabs: Lobby (for threads and community debates), Game Info (summary, time to beat, developers, etc.) and Reviews (with ratings, hours played, and platform tags). Plus, connect with friends via 1:1 chat, join communities (with their own lobbies and group chats), and climb the weekly, monthly, and yearly rankings, with podium alerts when someone steals your spot and an exclusive Gamer of the Month medal for the #1.
🏆 Profile: Showcase your bio, unlocked medals (in the order you choose), game stats (pending, playing, dropped, completed, favorited, wishlisted), custom collections, activity history, and liked posts.
🆚 Compare: Open any friend's profile and see how you match: shared genres, platforms, hours played, games in common and your gamer compatibility score. Perfect to find your next co-op partner.
GameRoll fully supports 26 languages, with AI translation built right in for user-generated content and game information!
Right now, we are around 30 active users in the app, and I even hit a huge milestone: my very first monthly subscriber! 🥳 While GameRoll is free to use, I've added a few optional cosmetics and small features for those who want to support the project further.
I am moving super fast with development and have many new features cooking. I don't have a public roadmap right now because 100% of my energy is focused on building, but I'd love for you to check it out, let me know what you think, and share any feature requests or feedback you might have.

Thanks for reading this far! Grab the app, break it, and tell me what you think. I'll be here all day answering. 🙌
respect for shipping this solo, but I'd push back a little on the scope: chat, communities, rankings, a compatibility score, AI translation across 26 languages, that's a lot of surface area to maintain alone at 30 active users. the backlog tracker and "spin the roll" picker are the part I'd actually reach for daily, the social layer feels like it's competing with Discord servers gamers already live in. would you rather nail the tracker first and let social be a slower-growing layer on top, or is the social hook specifically what's supposed to pull people in from day one?
Hello Gal!
First of all, thank you for your comment!
All those features are already working, but they are completely optional—you can use them or not. The core functionality is managing your game backlog, and that is already working too. (In fact, I actually have a task on my roadmap to make the app "offline," allowing you to disable all social features and leave only the game tracker and discovery tools available)
I have some users who love competing on the leaderboard (I think they both want the Gamer of the Month medal :P), but most users just import, add, and track their games.
My vision is to have a place where if you want to know or discuss something about a specific game, there will be a thread for it. If what you need is people to play a certain game with, there will be a community about that game or the platform it's on. That's 100% UGC, so it will depend on what the community wants.
If you are using GameRoll, I hope you can provide some feedback so I can keep improving it! I'm dropping updates weekly!
Greetings,
Pablo
That offline mode task on your roadmap answers my question better than I expected - separating "manage my backlog" from "compete on a leaderboard" as two genuinely optional layers is the right call. Good luck with the weekly updates, I'll keep an eye on how the UGC threads idea plays out.
@galdayan Thank you very much! You can reach out to me through the support email address if you need anything, I will answer ASAP!
Hey guys!
I'd love to have some feedback! I will be here all day, answering all of you!
Greetings, and have a nice sunday!
