PixelHunters — Creature Catching Phone App

PixelHunters is a full creature-catching experience built as a phone app for FiveM. Players discover wild creatures in the open world, catch them using a skill-based mechanic, fight for territory in real-time PvP, build their collection, evolve species, complete contracts, and earn achievements — all from their in-game phone, without ever leaving the game world.

How It Works

Creatures spawn dynamically across the map based on biome zones, live weather, and time of day. When a player encounters one, they open their phone and enter the catch screen. Catching is skill-based — hold to charge a bar, then release when the moving zone aligns. The zone moves faster for rarer creatures. Miss the zone and the creature flees faster. Hit it perfectly and you get an accuracy bonus.

Once you've built up a team, head to a Nexus — claim it, deploy a guardian creature, and defend it from other hunters in real-time tap/hold/dodge combat. Hold the territory, earn passive XP and items, and watch your name climb the leaderboard.
