Show HN: CodeBeasts – Barcode Monsters

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sh.albe.codebeasts&hl=en_US

My 7 year old wanted a pokemon game he could play while we did the food shop, so I built him one, turns out my friends enjoyed it too! Point the camera at any barcode and it turns into a creature. The same product always gives the same creature, so your kitchen cupboard is basically a region you haven't explored yet.Android only, free, no ads. Would love to know what you think.

Hey guys, I built this because I feel overly nostalgic of my childhood on the internet, also I miss windows from the good old days :(
Microsoft are pieces of shit lads. Run by nonces. Also 4.0, first? Lord give me strength.

That's a lot of money for something very much not necessary... I'm in the wrong business!
Top work. Worked wonderfully.
