Barcode Beasts

Every barcode ever printed is hiding something.

Point your camera at any product - cereal, a paperback, the bottle on your desk - and Barcode Beasts reads the stripes and turns them into a creature. The same barcode always makes the same creature, anywhere in the world, on anyone's phone. Your kitchen cupboard is a starter area.

SCAN
Real barcodes, decoded on your device. EAN-13, EAN-8 and UPC-A, which covers essentially all retail packaging. No connection needed.

RAISE
Feed, clean and play with what you find. Creatures have needs that tick along while you are away, a bond that grows with care, and moods that show it. Only the one you are carrying needs looking after - the rest of your roster rests.

TRAIN AND BATTLE
Turn-based battles across twelve elements, with type matchups that reward thinking rather than grinding. Seventy moves, priced against a stamina pool that makes a heavy hit a decision rather than an opener. Four training drills sharpen individual stats.

COLLECT
163 species across evolution families, six rarity tiers up to Mythic, and variants - Shiny, Mini, Giant, Alpha - that are brags rather than stat advantages. 28 quests, and a Dex that fills as you go.

TRADE
Send a friend code, agree a swap, and the server performs it in one transaction. Nobody can change their offer after you have agreed to it.

COME BACK TOMORROW
A daily reward, a seven-day login streak, and three objectives drawn fresh each day from a pool of ten. Spend what you earn on hats.

RANK
Four leaderboards - barcodes scanned, beasts held, species collected and battles won - each against everyone or just against your friends. One switch in Settings keeps you off them entirely.

NO MAP. NO GPS. NO STEPS.
This is not a walking game. It works on the sofa, on a train, in a shop, at three in the morning. The world it draws from is the one already on your shelves.

Scanning, raising, training and battling all work offline. No ads. No purchases. Camera images never leave your phone - only the barcode number is ever sent.
