Walking Island is a walking game that asks nothing of you but walking. Every 15 steps is 1 XP. Your friend grows on its own, changes shape when it's ready, and keeps walking with you. Nothing expires while you're away. The friends you raise stroll around your island and pick up pebbles. Spend them at the stall on decorations, a season, or a tune to walk to. Float a letter to an island you'll never know. You fill in the blanks from words that are already there, so nothing needs to be moderated. The waves choose where it lands. Your friend lives in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. No feed, no messages. Health data stays on your phone.
