Hotfix.fun
Each micro-game is a real crisis. You have seconds.
Hotfix is a WarioWare-style micro-game built for developers. Each game is a real dev crisis — a reCAPTCHA that runs away from your cursor, a merge conflict to resolve in VS Code in 3 seconds, npm install you have to hold without letting go, 7 Chrome tabs to close before your laptop melts. 4 levels of increasing chaos — from Junior (calm) to Senior (unhinged). Each faster than the last. Every UI is a CSS/SVG replica of the real thing. No images. Everything is code. Built solo in France.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Romain, solo dev from France.
I built Hotfix because I wanted a game that felt
immediately familiar to developers — not a game
about coding, but a game made of the actual UIs
we use every day.
Every micro-game is a CSS/SVG replica of a real
interface: VS Code's conflict viewer, Chrome's tab
strip, Google Authenticator, htop, a Norton Antivirus
modal from 2004...
The challenge was making everything work on mobile
and desktop with pointer events only — no keyboard,
no gyroscope, one thumb.
Would love to know which mini-game feels the most
painfully accurate to your daily life 👇
