The more you walk, the more your little buddy grows. PawPlanet is a cozy walking game that turns your everyday steps into an adventure: a step counter and a virtual pet in one app. It syncs with Apple Health, so your usual walks and commutes help your pet grow. Check today's steps like a pedometer, and play at your own pace. Walk to raise your pet The food you earn by walking levels up your pet, and all 50 pets evolve as they grow. If you're lucky, you'll meet a rare blue, purple or gold shiny. Gold shinies gleam in sparkling metallic gold. Hatch new pets with the Egg Gacha Spend the Paws you earn by walking to open eggs and welcome new pets. You can check the drop rates anytime before you open an egg. Tour Japan or tour the world Walk all 47 prefectures of Japan, or start from any continent and travel 110 cities around the globe. Every step moves you along the map toward the next city. Collect local specialties Each city you reach gives you a local specialty. Filling up your collection quietly turns walking into a daily habit. Keep going, gently Hit your daily step goal to grow your streak. A Rest Pass arrives every week and automatically protects your streak on a day you fall short. Took a break? A welcome-back gift is waiting when you return. Groups with family and friends Compete on weekly steps with just your group in a competition group, or reach a shared goal with everyone's total steps in a co-op group. Win to get the "Last week's winner" badge and a shareable winner card. Weekly world ranking and leagues Take on the weekly world ranking and a league of 30 players at a similar level (Bronze to Diamond, with promotion and relegation). Your lifetime points go into the Hall of Fame. Closing and results times are also shown in your local time. Invite friends, meet invite-only pets Connect by friend code or QR code, send cheers and gift Paws. Invite a friend and you both get bonus Paws. The more friends you invite, the more special pets join you: Maneki, Inari and Komamori never hatch from eggs or appear in the wild. Share your milestones Reach a city or hit 1,000,000 steps and you'll get a celebration card featuring your own pet. If you've joined the rankings, the card also carries your invite code and a small QR code, so friends can join right away.
