I just shipped my React Native game to the App Store 🚀
Hey everyone! 👋
After months of evenings and weekends, I finally shipped my game Just Loot to the App Store.
The fun part? The entire game is built with React Native + Expo.
I originally considered using Unity, but decided to see how far I could push React Native instead.
The game includes:
• ⚔️ A real-time combat simulation
• 💎 Procedural loot generation
• 🎒 Inventory & equipment system
• 📈 Infinite progression
• ✨ Animations with Reanimated
• ☁️ Supabase backend
• 📱 Native features like Sign in with Apple, haptics and Game Center
It’s been a surprisingly great experience building a game with React Native. Fast iteration, a great developer experience, and sharing code across platforms has been a huge win.
I’d love to hear from anyone else who’s built (or is building) games with React Native. What worked well for you, and what challenges did you run into?
