Show HN: I used Claude to make some free fun pet-themed browser arcade games

I created https://whatpetshouldiget.com to help my kid understand the responsibilities of pet ownership. It just grew from there and I wanted to make it a destination site where people can learn and have fun.

My kid helped me design four pet themed arcade games (done using Fable). Drawing lots of inspiration from existing titles, with some original tweaks, and incorporating of their suggestions along the way. We pulled these together and you can try them out here: https://whatpetshouldiget.com/play.html

There's loads of room for improvement (mobile playability is something I'm targeting now), and I'd welcome any suggestions. Also wondering if it's worth trying to get these into the app/play store.

Thank you!
