Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Most modern mobile games share the same frustrating pattern: 500 MB downloads, aggressive paywalls, and unskippable ads after every single tap. I wanted to build the exact opposite: an instant, zero-friction arcade game you can jump into directly from your mobile browser in under two seconds. What is Star Hop? It’s a precision one-tap arcade game where you orbit planets and time your jumps across the galaxy. Key features: • Zero friction: No installs, no app store hurdles, runs smoothly at 60 fps in Safari/Chrome. • 100% ad-free & free-to-play: No intrusive popups ruining the flow. • Daily Challenge: A synchronized daily seed so everyone plays the exact same galaxy. • Collection loop: 100 collectible holographic pilot cards (with tilt/gyro effects) that unlock ships inspired by iconic spacecraft. • Optional cloud save: Play anonymously, or sign in to sync cards and compete on global leaderboards. The build story: This started as a vibe coding experiment using Phaser. With the latest Claude models, I iterated heavily on the game feel, responsive controls for vertical screens, and the card collection system. Try a quick run on your phone at https://star-hop.app and let me know: How does the jump timing and difficulty curve feel? What score did you hit on today’s Daily Challenge? Looking forward to your feedback and bug reports!
