There will probably be an offline/ironman game mode that is a one time purchase

That’s on you then, because I do

Fairphone.

Yes only pedometer. iOS has been a walk in the park (no pun intended) since the beginning, Android was a mess until they released the Recording API like 2 weeks ago. Now it’s on the same level as iOS.

It’s explained on https://walkscape.app/help. Long story short: no mtx, no predatory mechanics, all very fair

Not open source, unfortunately

Any game has cheaters. I know the team does have monitoring in place to catch suspicious behavior and players have seen consequences for it.

From what we’ve heard from the community, players are initially drawn to the game because they love that concept of inactive playing. They then get hooked on the game so much that they actually also want to do something in the game even when they’re not doing exercising, so something active. It’s a very often heard suggestion. Obviously it’s impossible to please everyone, but the majority actually does want this. If that’s not you, thats unfortunate but understandable.

Edit: also, seems like you will need to basically “charge up” combat points with steps, which you can then use to fight some stuff. So you will still need to be walking first to be able to do combat.

Probably because of the influx of new players. I’d recommend trying again or sending an email, it’s well worth it!

Yahoo should work. If you still haven’t gotten it after like 2 hours, please send an email to [email protected] with your username and email you used to sign up

There have been talks about being able to be anonymous on the leaderboards, but nothing set in stone yet

Yes, travelling through the world is also done by walking irl. Though obviously the distances aren’t quite 1 to 1. Combat is not implemented yet but coming later. Current plans are that it will be a turn based system and will be what’s called “couch content”, something you can do at home from your couch without having to walk. But all subject to change still.
