I grabbed it a while ago, lost track of it and found it again when clearing junk off my phone. Would be great to see an update and more content. I would throw $5 at the developer if there was a way to. No ads also. ### 1/5 — Abandonware *2025-04-11* I’m sad to say this because I loved the concept but the dev clearly stopped updating and has moved on to something new. The foundation is there. Would be nice to see them return to add more to the game. ### 2/5 — Absolutely not for the disabled *2025-03-18* Matching steps to game progress may seem like a clever gimmick but if you don’t add any accessibility options you’re blocking a lot of potential players. Charging money for steps is well and good but it shouldn’t be mandatory. I and many other mobile gamers are disabled & can’t even leave home. Game devs who disregard the importance of accessibility features really need to grow a tiny shred of empathy ### 5/5 — Please keep working on the game *2025-03-01* I will pay money ### 1/5 — Way too confusing *2024-04-19* I downloaded this a while back and played a couple of times but didn’t get far. I tried to pick it up and play again (after accumulating 350k steps) but have no clue how to play now. There is no instructions and the game will give info that pops up and disappears. So you can no longer pull up that info. Deleting ### 5/5 — love it. don’t forget about it please *2024-04-08, version 1.8.1* new content would be brilliant, perhaps the ability to upgrade roads eventually to need less steps. I know steps are a key part but as the world is so massive going from once place to another takes a long time, perhaps key roads could a be little faster? ### 5/5 — Love the game *2024-03-11* Helps me slow down and motivates me to get some exercise. ### 4/5 — Awesome game but sad to hit a wall *2024-02-07* Love the game so far it’s really getting me off my butt and walking, but I was crushed when I got the notification that the banquet had concluded, but there was no more content left to progress yet. Hope you’re still working on the game. Excited to see what you have in store. ### 4/5 — Steps not being recognised *2024-01-01, version 1.8.1* Just started playing this game. Looks pretty cool. I don’t mind the fact that it requires real life steps to generate the steps in game. Only problem is when it doesn’t recognise and collect my steps. This has happened to me a couple of times. Most times the steps are counted and generated but at times without doing anything different I get random moments where nothing comes through after I’ve gone out for a bit of a walk. Sometimes not a single step is recognised. I’ve got both pedometer and apple health activated and permissions activated. It seems random and buggy. ## Frequently asked questions about The Great Outdoors Game ### What is The Great Outdoors Game?
