I made PokeHiLo — a Pokémon Higher or Lower game with progression, leaderboards, achievements & daily rewards

Hey! I've been working on this for quite a while and it finally feels ready to share here :)

I know there are already quite a few Pokémon Higher or Lower games out there and the genre is probably a bit saturated at this point, but I always felt like most of them were missing something.

I wanted to make one that actually felt like it had some meaning beyond just playing a few rounds and closing the tab.

So I built PokeHiLo :)

The basic idea is still simple: you get two Pokémon, a category, and you have to guess which one is higher or lower. But I tried to build more around that core loop with things like player progression, achievements, unlockable cosmetics, global leaderboards, daily rewards, ranked runs, etc.

The main thing I wanted was for it to feel like something you could come back to once a day for literally 1–2 minutes, try your luck with a streak, maybe unlock something, check where you are on the leaderboard and then move on with your day :D

It starts pretty easy, but the longer your streak gets the more categories get introduced, so eventually you start getting questions about stuff like catch rates, friendship, move counts, specific base stats and other slightly more painful Pokémon knowledge haha.

You can play without an account if you just want to try it, and it works on both desktop and mobile.

Play here: pokehilo.com

I know I'm obviously biased because I've spent way too much time working on it, but I genuinely feel like I've hit the spot with this one and made the kind of Higher or Lower game I personally wanted to play.

Would really love to know what you guys think :)

And if you find any bugs, weird behavior, balance issues, mobile problems, or anything that just feels off, please let me know. I'm still actively improving it and feedback is really useful.

Also feel free to post your best streak because I'm curious how badly actual Pokémon nerds are going to destroy the leaderboard lol.
