Join the Critter Collectors! The world's foremost researchers of little creatures. Walk. Collect. Learn. Every step you take in the real world stirs something from the undergrowth in Little Wings. Lace up, head out, and let your walk do the finding. Open Little Wings at the end of your walk to see every critter you crossed paths with. The more you walk, the closer you step toward eternal glory in the annals of zoology. A pedometer you'll actually want to open. Most step trackers just show you a number. Little Wings turns your daily steps into discoveries. It's a step counter, an activity tracker and a bug collecting game all at once. What's inside: * Works wherever you walk: outdoors, indoors, treadmill. Every step counts, no matter where you take them. * Steps become critters: your real life walking is the whole game. No busywork. Just walking and discovering critters! * Learn facts: encounter each critter more to uncover real facts about them! * Set the lure: tune your daily step goal from a gentle 2,000 to an ambitious 20,000. Your lure brings out rarer critters. * Wander into new territory: four biomes, each with their own cast of critters waiting to be found. * Common to legendary: build your research, keep your streak, and track down the rarest critters out there. * No pressure, just walking: no timers, no guilt. Just a gentle reason to take a few more steps. Streaks reset every four days (with a small boost if you are continuing a streak). A step counter that's actually a joy. Little Wings turns "I should really get my steps in" into something worth looking forward to. Whether you're chasing 10,000 steps or just getting off the couch, every walk finds you something new. Little Wings is free to play. An optional Patron membership adds a few extra perks for the dedicated wanderer. AI with lots of human oversight was used to create some Little Wings art. Little Wings proceeds go towards paying artists to replace the AI art! Presented by The Gnomestead Collective.
