Telegram Mini App Game Developer $

We are building a Tamagotchi-inspired virtual pet game combined with idle clicker mechanics, designed to run as a Telegram Mini App.

This is a V1 / MVP project with a clearly defined scope and full documentation ready (GDD, feature specs, monetization, and UI/UX in progress).

We are looking for a skilled developer who can take ownership and deliver a complete, production-ready Mini App experience.

🎮 Game Overview

• Genre: Virtual Pet + Idle Clicker
• Platform: Telegram Mini App (WebView)
• Core loop: Tap → Earn → Upgrade → Care → Evolve
• Pet evolves as it levels up
• Daily engagement and offline progression systems

🛠 What You’ll Build

Core Gameplay

• Tap-to-earn coin system with daily cap
• 4-stat pet system:
  • Hunger
  • Happiness
  • Energy
  • Health
• Care actions:
  • Feed, Play, Rest, Heal (with cooldowns)
• Leveling system:
  • Levels 1–15 with XP progression
• Evolution system:
  • Babymon → Adult Tonimon (Level 10)
• Offline earnings calculation

💰 Monetization

• Integration with Telegram Stars (XTR)
• In-game shop:
  • Coin bundles
  • Premium cosmetics
• Starter Pack:
  • One-time offer after evolution

⚙️ Technical Requirements
