GameRoll: Game Backlog Tracker

GameRoll is a single app built to bring a gamer's entire gaming life into one place. It tracks your library across 219 platforms, spanning PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, mobile and classic retro systems, so every title you own or want sits in one unified collection instead of being scattered across storefronts and consoles. Alongside backlog tracking, GameRoll handles your wishlist, favorites and custom collections, your ratings and reviews, a real-time community feed, and the question every player eventually faces: what should I play next? It is made for players who own games across multiple systems and want their backlog, their opinions and their gaming friends gathered into one home. The problem GameRoll addresses is the slow collapse of the personal game backlog. Most players keep their list in their head or in a spreadsheet they stopped updating in 2022, which means games get forgotten, bought twice, or never finished at all. Wishlists usually live inside individual storefronts, so a release you have been waiting for can arrive without you noticing, and a price drop on a wishlisted game is easy to miss entirely. Gaming conversation is scattered too: a short clip on TikTok or Instagram might show a game you cannot name, and there is no easy way to turn that moment into a library entry. GameRoll takes a different approach. Every game you add, start, complete or drop gets logged automatically, so your record stays current without manual spreadsheet upkeep. At the centre of GameRoll is Your Roll, a backlog system built on four unambiguous states: pending, playing, completed or dropped. Every game you touch is placed into one of those four states, and the status is always in view, so there is no confusion about what you are actually working through and no ambiguity about whether a game has been finished or quietly abandoned. If you cannot decide what is next, you can spin your Roll and it picks a pending game for you. Around that foundation sit wishlists, favorites and collections: you can save games for later, mark the ones you love, and organize everything into your own custom collections. Together, these features turn a flat list into a structured library that reflects the way you actually play rather than the way a spreadsheet expects you to. GameRoll also watches your wishlist so you do not have to. You get notified the moment a game you are waiting for comes out, and again when one of your wishlisted games drops in price. The deal alerts are part of GameRoll UNLIMITED, powered by IsThereAnyDeal. Because that watching is not limited to a single store or console, the wishlist works across the same breadth as the library itself. GameRoll tracks games across 219 platforms, covering PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, mobile and more, with your whole library and no borders between platforms. For players who own hardware from several generations, that means one backlog and one wishlist instead of a handful of separate lists that never quite stay in sync. A distinctive part of the product is sharing from anywhere. If you see a game in a video, you do not have to pause the clip to read the title or hunt through a search box. Instead, you share the post to GameRoll and it works out which game it is about. Sharing happens straight from your feed on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and X, without leaving the app you are already in. GameRoll reads the post and identifies the game for you, so you never have to type a name you are not sure how to spell, and a single tap sends it into your Roll or your wishlist so you can get back to scrolling. The community layer sits on top of the tracking. GameRoll's feed is not a list but the real activity of the people you follow: what they are playing, what they just finished, and what review they just wrote, updating in real time with no refreshing needed, so you can see who is playing right now and jump straight into a chat. Every game has its own thread where players debate theories, ask for help, or talk about the ending with people who have played it too. Reviews that actually matter are rated and shared, letting you see what your people think before you start a game. Discovery is folded into the same feed through trending picks, top rated titles, most wishlisted games, the latest reviews and upcoming releases, plus gaming news. As you play, you unlock medals and watch your stats build up by status and platform, right on your profile. What ties all of this together is a deliberately simple model. A game exists in one of four states, and everything else in the app is arranged around that single record: the wishlist keeps future games, collections organize them, the Roll surfaces them, the feed gives them a social context, and reviews capture what you thought. Adding a game is meant to be low effort, whether you select it in the app or share a social post and let GameRoll identify it, and moving a game forward is a matter of changing its state. The spin mechanic removes the paralysis from choosing what to play, and the real-time feed removes the effort of hunting for what your friends are into. Rather than bolting separate tools together, GameRoll treats the backlog as the centre of gaming life and builds tracking, alerts, discovery and conversation around it. The benefits are largely about removing friction and keeping a record. Your backlog no longer depends on you remembering to update a spreadsheet, because games are logged automatically as you add, start, complete or drop them. You stop missing the games you actually wanted, since wishlist alerts fire at release and at price drops. You stop losing track of a game you saw in a clip, because sharing the post is enough for GameRoll to name it and file it. Your library stops being divided by platform, because it spans 219 of them. And your opinions stop disappearing, because ratings and reviews sit alongside your stats and medals on your profile, giving you a visible history of what you played and what you thought about it. Concrete scenarios show how the app fits together. You are scrolling TikTok and see a clip from a game you do not recognise, so you share the post to GameRoll, it identifies the title, and one tap puts it in your wishlist. You have games spread across a PlayStation, a Switch, a PC and a retro handheld, and you log them all into one library where each one carries a clear status. It is Friday night and you cannot choose, so you spin your Roll and it picks a pending game. You are waiting on a release or hoping for a discount, and your wishlist alerts tell you when it arrives or when the price falls. You finish a game and want to talk about the ending, so you open its thread, read your friends' reviews and post your own. Over time you watch your medals and stats build up on your profile. GameRoll is aimed at people who play a lot of games, often across several platforms and generations of hardware, and who want their library organised without spreadsheet upkeep. It reaches users through mobile apps and the web, with the Product Hunt listing categorised under Android, iOS and Games. Its deal alerts are powered by IsThereAnyDeal, and sharing works from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and X, while game imagery in the app is served from IGDB and user content from Firebase. Deal alerts are packaged as part of GameRoll UNLIMITED, the app's named tier, alongside the core tracking, wishlist, community and review features. In short, GameRoll replaces the abandoned spreadsheet, the scattered storefront wishlists and the forgotten game names with one home for everything you play. It tracks your backlog across 219 platforms, turns four simple states into a clear picture of your progress, watches your wishlist for releases and price drops, identifies games from a shared post, and surrounds it all with a community that is actually playing. It is, as the tagline puts it, one app for your gaming life.
