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.

Thank you so much for your review! Balance is definitely key :D
Steps Tracker meets Gamer
This is by far the most entertaining and simple app I’ve tried to track my steps. I got my boyfriend and I to download it together and now we “adventure together”. As a gamer the aesthetic is perfect and I love the pixel art.
Response from developer
Thank you for your amazing review :D I’m glad!
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!

Wow for walking
It’s like world of Warcraft and walking had a baby. I’m happy and love this game. The devs are sweet and active and always improving the game
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your review! :D
Not bad.
Cool so far looking forward for more updates. I would recommend a pvp type thing. Would really like to see that.
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. More updates are definitely coming! PvP is a really good suggestion.
Huzzah!
I was browsing through the App Store looking for other pedometer based apps to gamify my active step counts. So many of these kind of apps just feel bloated, full of annoying ads or just unnecessarily complex. So I was pleasantly surprised when I happened to stumble upon this app. Seeing that it was 3 months old, I was excited to try out something new. As a new player, it was very inviting from the get-go and the objectives and UI design are really well laid out. As an enjoyer of RPGs, the sprite designs and gameplay really entice me personally but I don’t think it’s overly complicated even for players with little to no RPG experience. I see that the developer has been very active in patching and content updates since launch, and can’t wait to experience the current version of the app and see how it evolves in the future. Nice work! Highly recommend.

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!

Fun Way to Walk!
I was looking for a way to motivate myself to walk/run and this has been helping a lot! You can focus on your own goals, collab your walks with friends, and even others through a guild. You level up the more you walk, specializing in classes. Feels like a real life rpg!

Thank you so much for your review!
Great little game.
I love walking and this has made walking around so much more fun. I am so happy to of found this great game.
Simply fun
I’ve tried out a few walking or step apps, but this one is easily my favorite. The graphics are basic 8-bit style, and the object of the app is to take each step and turn it into experience points for your character. It feels great to just check in and let the app do the counting passively in the background. No long loading screens, no glitches from high graphics, and no need to constantly tell the app you are going to walk, it just knows you walk whenever you walk with the phone in a pocket. Simple and perfect.

Awesome app
I love quest type games and I wanted something to motivate me to walk more. This is exactly up my alley. I hope they add more add ons. I’ve gotten several of my friends to download it and we’re competing on how fast we level up
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your review!
Love checking this app!
I constantly try different walking apps. I usually delete them within an hour. This game has a heart to it. I love just checking it and seeing the XP pop up. The design is great and I really enjoy upgrading my character. I’m so excited to see where it keeps going!

Minimalistic but fun!
This is a neat minimalistic app and I say that as a good thing. So many apps today have 15 places you have to check on to get these coins or those power items. It can get a bit tedious. Not this game. I open it, check on 3 maybe 4 things if I’m fighting a monster. It keeps me coming back to check in really quick a few times a day. Thank you for making a game that doesn’t require me to be a full time admin just to get to the game itself.

It’s amazing
This is one of the best games/fitness out there it has made me get out more and find so many cool areas and I compete with my friends to get to the higher level! 5/5 would recommend
Fun and engaging
No gimmicks. Makes it fun to walk and you can acquire items and pick expeditions with different step counts
Fun
It’s a fun little game that helps motivate you to move.

Cheating
I misunderstood the wording in the warning the app gives for manually inputting steps. I understand the need for not counting them because people would cheat. I was only worried about being banned. So thanks to the dev for replying for that misunderstanding on my part because I really did like the app.
(Previous review I just mentioned how I thought the app would ban me for manually inputting steps)

Thank you for the feedback. SideQuest does not automatically ban users when manual steps are detected. All cases are reviewed carefully to maintain fairness and integrity across leaderboards and guilds. Edit: thank you so much!!
Love this game!
Fun way to motivate yourself to get moving! Co-op activities to walk with friends and family. I love that I can just put my phone in my pocket, go for a walk, and come home to find a new cute pet, a monster encounter, or a super sweet reward. No need to play while I’m walking!
