Your life is the game. Level up for real. Level Journey turns your habits, tasks and goals into an RPG. Every real thing you finish gives your hero XP and gold. Do a little every day and you grow, on screen and in real life. Start playing in seconds. Pick what you want to grow, choose your hero and finish your first quest. You make an account only at the end, to save your hero. NEW: THE WALK • Your real steps fill a ring. Walk to the chests on it and open them for gold or an item. • Past 10,000 steps a second ring opens. A weekly chest waits at 50,000 steps. • A chest you reached is never lost. Steps come from Apple Health, read only. • See your ring on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen with the widget. YOUR HERO • Choose from 9 heroes, free. Each one has its own look and colour. • Spend gold on stats, and forge your weapon and armour to make them stronger. • Level up all the way to 200, and unlock a specialization as you grow. YOUR DAY • Pick the areas of life you want to work on: fitness, mind, work, money and more. • Each area has its own daily tasks. Tick one and the XP bar moves. • Keep one daily rituals list for the things you do every day. • Keep your streak alive. Streak freezes save it on a bad day. • Tick tasks off from your Home Screen with the widget. FIGHT • Climb the Portal: 100 floors of monsters, each harder than the last. • Travel the Map of realms, with its own monsters and quests. • Finishing tasks can drop items. Sell them, or keep them for Map quests. • Visit the Shop: three new offers every day, sometimes a Mystery Chest. YOUR CIRCLE • Join a Circle with friends and fight a boss together. • Every task, ritual and goal step you finish loads a strike. Tap the boss to hit it. • When everyone in the Circle fights on the same day, the boss takes an extra team hit. • Chat, cheer each other on, and pick a crest for your Circle. • A Circle is a team, not a ranking. You win together. YOUR GOALS • Write your goals as a numbered list, with the reason each one matters. • Break them into steps and link your daily tasks to them. • A short weekly review shows what moved. • Set an Intention: one aim for 1 to 7 days, right at the top of your Goals.
