Hi GameDev — looking for keeper/dev eyes on a free HTML5 demo.
Hatchstead is a turn-based ball python breeding / genetics journey (solo UK indie, Onyx Refinery). The free 3-year browser demo is live while we prep Kickstarter (honest £8 ask later — pledges not open yet).
Play (hosted demo): https://hatchstead.onyxrefinery.co.uk/
Itch: https://danny1218.itch.io/hatchstead
Launch / Kickstarter-prep thread: https://x.com/Onyxrefinery/status/2097709799420948614
Project page: https://gamedev.net/projects/366-hatchstead/
Stack: browser HTML5 (no download). Mouse / touch UI.
Specific feedback ask:
1) Are morph / het visuals readable enough to make breeding decisions?
2) Does the breeding pacing feel chill or too slow in the early loop?
3) Anything confusing in the first 10–15 minutes?
Happy to answer engine/design questions. Thanks for any play notes.
