## What is Heian Walk?

Walk in real life to earn dice that move the game forward. Roll them to make the hero, Tamaya, walk.
As Tamaya walks, things happen that make people smile and bring people together, and the "Liveliness" level goes up.
Reach the "Liveliness" goal set for each area to clear it.

Clear every area and help move the capital to Heian-kyo!

You can also collect the fireworks, which bloom in the sky as "flowers of light" whenever Tamaya brings liveliness and new encounters!

Super easy to play: just tap to move ahead. A simulation board game anyone can enjoy!
Also recommended for seniors and anyone who isn't used to playing games.

Note: In the United States, Heian Walk requires iOS 26.2 or later.

THE TALE OF TAMAYA

Tamaya was fifteen. Until just three days ago, he had lived alone in the mountains with an old man.
He had lived that way for as long as he could remember, and so he knew nothing of where he had been born, whether he had parents, or whether he had a family at all. He had never even thought to ask.
Now and then, people from the village at the foot of the mountain would climb up to see him, calling him "the Sage" and asking for his wisdom. Tamaya, though, simply called him Master.

When Master's life was drawing to its end, he sat Tamaya down and spoke to him.
"Tamaya. You must leave this mountain and go down to the capital. And once you're there, you must bring more and more people together — make the whole city come alive!
"How, you ask? It's simple. Just walk, with all the energy you have, and people will start to gather around you from every direction, until the whole town is bursting with life. And once a town comes alive, people can't help wanting to be there. Do you see? People draw people, and that brings even more life to the place.
"Liveliness — that is what the capital needs most. It may sound strange to you, but you have the power to call it forth. It's already inside you, so don't be afraid.
"The harder you walk, the more you'll cross paths with others — joyful meetings, fun ones, strange and wonderful ones too. And whenever you call that liveliness, whenever those meetings come to pass, I will bloom 'flowers of light' across the sky for you.
"People will look up and see those 'flowers of light,' and they'll cheer, and that will make them even happier, even more alive.
"Now go, Tamaya. Wherever you walk, I will always be with you."
With that, Master placed his own staff in Tamaya's hands.

Something rose up in Tamaya's chest, filling him until he could hardly breathe.
It wasn't sorrow — it was the strength Master had given him, and a strength of his own rising up from somewhere deep inside, strong enough to make him tremble.
And so began Tamaya's pilgrimage.

### 5/5 — コレクション要素が楽しい

*2024-10-10*

歩数計で有料アプリは珍しいですが、広告も出ないしビジュアル面のクオリティも高いので良いアプリだと思います。花火をコレクションするのもユニークです。

ただ、ヘビーに歩く人だと割とすぐにクリアしてしまい、やることがなくなるのが難点です。花火コンプリートのためにゲームは継続できますが、にぎわい値に変化がないとちょっと寂しい気も。

せめて(コレクションは保持したまま)リセットして1からやり直す機能があれば良いと思います。もしくは他のマップも欲しいですね。
