Your neighborhood is now a block world. StepCraft Go turns every real walk into a game. The streets, buildings, parks and rivers around you are rebuilt in charming voxel blocks from real map data — and your character moves when your body does. WALK YOUR REAL WORLD Step outside and watch your own streets stream in around you, block by block. Every place you know is here: your street, your park, your whole city — reimagined as a living voxel world. YOUR STEPS ARE YOUR LIFE Every real step becomes health. Walk more, live longer, explore further. Steps you take while the app is closed still count when you return — a real walk always pays. CREATURES ROAM YOUR STREETS Pigs, foxes, wolves, bunnies, zombies, skeletons and more wander the world around you. Swat them to earn XP and coins, and keep an eye out for the rare iridium creatures crowned with a violet star — the 1-in-20 prize. COLLECT, UNLOCK, DRESS UP Golden coins line the roadsides — walk past to scoop them up. Spend them on outfits, swords, new creatures and whole new biomes: desert dunes, mushroom forests, frozen snowfields. Defeat 100 of a species to unlock its costume, and hunt iridium rarities to earn the prestige iridium outfits with a floating star of your own. GO ANYWHERE Preview any place on Earth: type an address or landmark and the world rebuilds itself there. Walk the blocks of Paris from your couch — then step outside and come home to your real streets. PRECISE BY DESIGN Movement is driven by your real steps and motion, with GPS keeping you anchored to the map. Optional Camera Boost adds augmented-reality motion tracking for ultra-precise movement — nothing is ever recorded or stored. NO ACCOUNTS, NO FUSS No sign-up, no login. Your world and progress live on your device. Lace up, step outside, and watch your world turn to blocks.

About

Snail

Features
Read full description

A snail is coming for you. It hatched near you and it already knows where you are. It moves in a straight line, through buildings, through rivers, through anything in the way. It does not sleep and it never loses you. Walking is the only thing that holds it back. HOW IT WORKS The snail crawls toward your real location, day and night, whether the app is open or not. It starts at about two miles a day and gets faster every three days you survive. Every step you take pushes it back. Snail reads the step count your iPhone already records, so it does not matter where you walk or how fast. A walk to the mailbox counts. A shift on your feet counts. Most of each walk pushes the snail away, and the rest is banked for later. Driving away does not help. Only steps buy distance, and heading toward it is a very bad idea. If it reaches you, the game is over. Days survived is your score. A new snail hatches at 6am. WHAT YOU CAN SEE Far away, you only get a rough idea of where it is. The closer it gets, the more precisely you know. Inside a thousand feet, you see exactly where it is. SALT AND SHELL Salt freezes the snail for six hours. You start with one and earn another every week you survive. Shell pushes it back three miles. It costs five banked miles. IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT IS CLOSE A notification at one mile, at half a mile, and when it is on your street. A word in the morning and in the evening on how the day is going. PRIVACY No account, no sign up, no email address. No ads, no trackers, no purchases. Snail reads your step count from Apple Health and writes nothing back. Your location is used to play the game. Nothing is sold and nothing is shared. BATTERY Snail uses your location in the background, because the snail does not stop when you close the app. While it is far away, Snail checks your position rarely. It only checks often when the snail is close.
