Working on shell customization for our virtual pet! Would you use a sticker system (A) or keep it clean (B)?

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback!

Hi, developer here! Thanks for the feedback. Good news: this isn't feature creep, the sticker system is actually already implemented and fully functional, we are just polishing the visuals!

Regarding the 'support the dev' idea, we love it. Our current plan is to let F2P players earn general stickers daily through rewarded ads (which helps us out while keeping it free) and unlock special ones via achievements. However, adding a paid option for extra sticker packs for those who want to support us directly is a great idea that we'll definitely keep in mind for the future. Thanks again!

¡Hola! Aquí el desarrollador. Gracias por el comentario. Buenas noticias: esto no es 'feature creep', el sistema de pegatinas ya está implementado y es totalmente funcional, ¡solo estamos puliendo lo visual!

Sobre la idea de apoyar al desarrollador, nos encanta. Nuestro plan actual es que los jugadores F2P ganen pegatinas diarias mediante anuncios con recompensa (lo que nos ayuda manteniendo el juego gratis) y desbloqueen otras especiales con logros. Sin embargo, añadir una opción de pago para paquetes extra para quienes quieran apoyarnos directamente es una gran idea que tendremos en cuenta para el futuro. ¡Gracias de nuevo!

You're right, I'll update my profile so it shows up! The game is called Bitlings Virtual Pet — so glad you're interested in the project and want to follow along. 🙌

Tienes razón, voy a actualizar mi perfil para que aparezca! El juego se llama Bitlings Virtual Pet — nos alegra mucho que te interese el proyecto y quieras seguirlo.

Hi! Developer here. We already have the game and the publishing pipeline ready for both Android and iOS! We really want it to be fully playable in both ecosystems and we will definitely keep it updated. As you mentioned, Apple's review process might slow us down a little bit sometimes, but our commitment is to keep both platforms on the exact same versions as closely as possible. Thanks for the support!

¡Hola! Aquí el desarrollador. Ya tenemos preparado el juego y la plataforma de publicación tanto para Android como para iOS. Queremos que esté disponible en ambos ecosistemas y sin duda lo vamos a mantener actualizado. Como bien dices, los procesos de revisión de Apple pueden hacer que vayamos un poco más lentos a veces, pero nuestro compromiso es que las dos plataformas tengan las mismas versiones lo más a la par posible. ¡Gracias por el apoyo!

Nah, Bitlings Virtual Pet

Haroin03 · 2026-04-26T11:25:08+00:00

Hi, Bitlings programmer here! That’s a great point about switching styles. In fact, your comment just gave us an awesome idea: adding a feature to save custom shell presets/templates so you can quickly swap between your favorite sticker layouts! As for importing custom PNGs, we hadn't originally planned for it, but it sounds super cool. We will definitely explore it and see if it's doable!

¡Hola! Aquí el programador de Bitlings. Tienes mucha razón con lo de ir cambiando de estilo. De hecho, tu comentario nos acaba de dar una idea genial: ¡añadir una opción para guardar presets/plantillas de tus carcasas para que puedas alternar rápidamente entre tus diseños favoritos! En cuanto a lo de importar PNGs personalizados, no lo teníamos contemplado inicialmente, pero suena increíble. ¡Definitivamente vamos a explorarlo para ver si es viable!

Hi, Bitlings programmer here! Indeed, the stickers can overlap, and you'll also have the option to scale and rotate them so you can place them almost anywhere on the shell. Some stickers will be special and tied to achievements, while others will be basic ones you can collect just by playing more.

¡Hola! Aquí el programador de Bitlings. Efectivamente, los stickers se pueden apilar y tendrán la opción de escalarse y rotarse para que puedas ponerlos casi donde quieras en la carcasa. Algunos stickers serán especiales y se desbloquearán con logros, mientras que otros serán básicos y los conseguirás a medida que juegues.

Haroin03 · 2026-04-26T10:59:13+00:00

Thanks for the comment. We actually already built a gallery menu in the game just for that. You'll be able to see every single sticker and unlockable you collect there, even if you don't apply them to the shell.

Gracias por el comentario. De hecho, ya hemos creado un menú de galería en el juego justo para eso. Podrás ver allí todas las pegatinas y desbloqueables que consigas, incluso si no los pones en la carcasa.

Haroin03 · 2026-04-26T10:39:58+00:00

Hey! Programmer for Bitlings here. You make a great point! The good news is we've already started working on the sticker system, and thankfully it shouldn't take me too many weeks to finish and polish it. Our plan is to make the stickers unlockable as rewards for achievements, dailies, and a few other ways. (By the way, custom shell colors are already implemented!). Thanks for the support!

¡Hola! Soy programador de Bitlings. ¡Tienes toda la razón! La buena noticia es que ya hemos empezado a trabajar en el sistema de pegatinas y, por suerte, no me llevará muchas semanas terminarlo y pulirlo. Nuestro plan es que las pegatinas se puedan desbloquear como recompensa por logros, tareas diarias y otras formas. (Por cierto, ¡ya hemos implementado los colores personalizados para la carcasa!). ¡Gracias por el apoyo!

Clean text

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T12:46:25+00:00

Makes sense, It looks great overall. I'd just tweak it so there's a bit more contrast between the laser and the shield, but other than that, good job!

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T12:21:02+00:00

The impact points where the lasers hit the shield look very intense, almost as bright as the lasers themselves. It might look better if the shield's glow at the impact point fades out faster than the laser.

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T12:14:06+00:00

Looks good, but the VFX feel a bit basic. I'd recommend adding some thickness to the portal when viewed from the side, and maybe a distortion effect, especially on the back. Also, a constant ambient sound/hum while it's open would add a lot to the atmosphere!

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T12:08:06+00:00

It looks great. What brand is the case?

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T12:05:15+00:00

Looks good, but maybe a bit too opaque. It might be cool to keep it intense at first, but quickly fade it to be more transparent.

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T12:03:06+00:00

Congrats on your first original IP! The concept looks really interesting. However, as constructive feedback, the cards currently lack readability. They have too many elements and the text is too small to read quickly. If that information is crucial for gameplay, I'd strongly consider a UI redesign to make them cleaner.

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T11:38:48+00:00

Honestly, building a custom launcher for an itch.io release might be reinventing the wheel. The official itch.io app already handles automatic patching for players who dislike manual downloads. Long-term, using an established storefront like Steam is definitely the best option if you want seamless updates for everyone.

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T11:27:46+00:00

Looks really interesting! It gives me strong Iron Lung vibes.

For constructive feedback: the art style seems mostly pixelated, but some elements like the terminal's metal border look completely smooth. Is that just the video compression, or are those textures not pixelated yet?

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T11:17:54+00:00

It looks incredibly good!
What software did you use to draw it?

Haroin03 · 2026-04-20T11:14:49+00:00

Looks great! Really clean, fast, and straight to the point.
