Pabo for iPhone
Fake shopping, now on iPhone with a playable snail
Product Hunt loved Pabo’s delivery snail, so I made him a game. Now on iPhone: shop 200+ imaginary products with pretend money, guide Pabo past rocks, unbox your order and decorate your room. Also on Android. Nothing in the catalog is real.
Hey PH, Tomer here. I launched Pabo on Android four months ago as a fake shopping app with a very slow snail. Since then I rebuilt the middle of the experience and finally got it through App Store review.
Pabo now has a catalog of imaginary products, a $75 daily pretend wallet, and a playable delivery route where you help Pabo jump over rocks and collect shells. When the order arrives, you unbox the items, keep the ones you like, and drag them into your room. Nothing in the catalog is real or for sale.
The original PH comments kept returning to the snail, so I stopped treating him like a progress bar and made him the game. Pabo is now on iPhone and Android.
I’d love feedback on one thing: after the first fake delivery, what would make you come back for a second?
