Changed my life

It’s usually a drag for me to do my cardio. Ever since I downloaded this game, I’ve been motivated to walk. I now average 15-20k steps per day to try and stay on the leaderboard.

Well. That escalated quickly.

I don’t even know what to say, but I’ll start by saying thank you to the devs of this app.

My husband and I both downloaded this app. We are generally sedentary people who tend to talk about fitness and exercise in a very abstract way but never actually do anything about it. We are, unsurprisingly, hugely into video games.

Since downloading the app, our conversations frequently are about when we can get out and walk, both together and separate, what we will do in the colder months when it becomes more difficult to walk outside. The co-op quests obligate us—and connect us—to each other in the best way.

Today my husband got a pet egg from a quest. I want one too (SO BAD) so I logged 17,000 steps today, which is not something I would have even thought I would ever do unless I somehow got lost in a desert I would certainly never go to.

Crossing a fitness app with a type of game that pushes the buttons of people like us who are on average more likely to be sedentary than non-gamers is brilliant, and that the packaging for this particular game is so adorable and enticing only adds to my motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Thank you again, devs!

UPDATE (7/29/26): It’s been 3 weeks. I am now averaging 25K steps a day and have been for the past 2 weeks. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but I’ve never stuck with any physical or fitness activity for even a week up until now. I was that kid in school who always seemed to have an excuse note to get out of PE, if you know what I mean.

Devs are HIGHLY responsive on Discord. Bugs are fixed extremely quickly.

There is no P2W aspect and therefore no reason you would absolutely need to pay money to make full use of this app, but I bought the pioneer pack anyway—not for the rewards but because if I had known the difference the app would make in my daily life, I easily would have considered paying $5 for it upfront to be an amazing bargain.

It’s usually hyperbolic when people say “changed my life” but in this case, it’s 1000% true. ❤️

Love it!

This is a really great game that inspires me to walk more every day. Having instant gratification in the form of XP makes walking way more fun!

Best App Ever

I love this app, literally obsessed! Makes me walk to go for a walk everyday.

Simple to play but still good

As the previous reviewer wrote, the game is fairly simple. Not 100 different arbitrary things you need to check. Just set your mission and go.

Hope they find a good balance of simplicity and fulfillment (as it relates to making steps feel meaningful) as the game continues to develop.
