Show HN: Number Gacha, a gacha game distilled to its essence
TLDR
- Minimal browser game strips gacha mechanics to a single loop: collect all 100 numbers across four suit-tracked pulls.
Key Takeaways
- Core loop is pure gacha probability: pull for numbers 1-100, track duplicates across four suit counters.
- No story, no characters, no monetization layer visible – the mechanic itself is the entire product.
- Completion goal (all 100 numbers) exposes the coupon collector problem as the implicit design challenge.
