HoshiWalk: Find New Planets

Your steps become a galaxy. Every step you walk becomes energy for your ship. At 6,000 steps you warp out and arrive at a planet no one has seen. You are the one who names it. A DAY OF VOYAGING - Steps from Health become energy directly (1 step = 1) - 6,000 to warp. Find an unknown planet and give it a name - 800 to explore. Search it for creatures, plants, minerals and relics - Pour energy in, and the planet grows - Ask Siri “How many steps until warp in HoshiWalk” and hear the answer without opening the app SIX STAGES OF A PLANET - Barren, Water, Plants, Life, Settlement, Civilization - Water appears on a cratered rock, green takes hold, and lights come on at night - Reach Civilization and a lattice of light and orbital rings appear 63 THINGS TO FIND - 14 kinds of planet, each with creatures, plants, minerals and relics - 7 secrets that no exploration will ever turn up. They come from events in space - The collection is a ledger of what exists, not a count of what you own TODAY'S MISSION - Something different happens each day - On a meteor shower day, a star fragment crystallizes the moment you hit 8,000 steps NIGHT SKY AND CONSTELLATIONS - After 9 pm, tonight's observation opens. Aim the telescope and find out what it saw the next morning - Link seven planets you have found to form a constellation - Shooting stars along your walk bring stardust and rumours of the next planet - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Control Center, open the observation WHAT ISN'T HERE - Streaks, and the breaking of them - Comparison or ranking against other people - Waiting for stamina to refill The galaxy is the time you have already walked. It is large after half a year because energy carries over. Watching an ad gives you one extra exploration. You never have to. Step data is read from Health and never leaves your device.
