Star Hop: Endless Galaxy
Hop across planets in a fast, ad-free mobile web arcade
Star Hop is an ad-free, zero-install space arcade built for mobile browsers. Tap to slingshot between planetary orbits, test your timing in Daily Challenges, and collect 100 holographic pilot cards to unlock iconic ships. No downloads, no paywalls, just clean instant gameplay.
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.
