@heyshashidev @expo mostly short-form content on Insta/TikTok/YouTube, some X/Reddit, and testing a bit of paid ads too. still figuring out what actually moves downloads 😂

We shipped a mobile game with no game engine.

Ninety-Nine is built with React Native, @expo , Skia and Reanimated.

Skia handles most of what you see:
• hand-drawn paths
• live drawing under your finger
• score animations
• water, cut shapes and folding effects

No Unity. No Godot. Just React Native.
Every frame in this video is the real app.

After almost 10 years building mobile apps, this was my first game and a fun way to push React Native beyond normal app UI.

If you’re building with React Native + Skia, happy to answer questions.

@zilvestro Nothing really prepares you for that first time you hold your kid. Still remember holding my daughter for the first time, genuinely felt magical. You’re gonna love it ❤️

@T_Zahil next time skip Claude and make everyone compete on Ninety-Nine 😂 perfect party game for finding out who’s secretly way too competitive

@KimChouard @expo small correction 😅 looks like the website App Store button is pointing to the US storefront too. try this one instead, it should resolve to your local App Store:

let me know if it works 👀

[Mudassar Raza · building apps @mudassar6969]

@KimChouard haha happy to be here 😂 one game in and I’m already way too deep into this now

[Mudassar Raza · building apps @mudassar6969]

@KimChouard @expo yeah it should be available in France too 👀 try from the website instead, there’s an App Store button there that should open the right listing: https://t.co/PKvDrLwaUL

@EndryMagolas @expo thank you 😄 that was one of my favorite little details to build. really wanted the whole thing to feel like it’s being graded on paper 😂

[Mudassar Raza · building apps @mudassar6969]

@aaapinen @expo almost all of it. strokes are built inside the pan gesture worklet, straight into a Skia path held in a shared value. water + moving markers run in useFrameCallback. the page fold and red pen ring use withTiming on shared values. JS mostly just handles scoring and game state.

@alexabelonix @AppStore Ours got approved in about 2 days, so 12 days definitely feels unusually long 😅 I’d probably contact Apple at this point and ask them to check the review status.
