These iOS Games Make it Fun to Go for a Walk, Help You Stay Hydrated
“Creating games to solve problems in real life.” That is Fourdesire’s motto and I have to say that they’re on to something. When you turn an activity into a game, when you make things fun, people are more likely to get on board.
Staying active and staying hydrated are two common real life problems that Fourdesire tackled. The developer created an iOS game that turns going for a walk into an adventure. And it created another iOS game that reminds you to drink water in a cute way.
Going for a walk or a jog is good for your health and general well-being – and that should all the motivation you need to get up and go outside. Sadly though, it’s not motivation enough for a lot of people, including myself. Now, if only there was a way to make walking fun. It could motivate me to get up from my computer and go for a walk.
App developer Fourdesire has something to help remedy the situation: Walkr, an interesting game for iOS that takes you on an adventure and makes it fun to go for a walk.
Walkr – Use “Walking Energy” to Fuel Your Ship
The Walkr spaceship, a rocket built by an 11-year-old genius, needs “walking energy” to be able to fly around the cosmos. You are the one who has to provide said energy. How? By going out for a walk or a jog, of course. Just keep your iPhone in your pocket and the Walkr app will convert the steps you take in to “walking energy” for your ship. The further you walk, the more energy your ship will have. Speaking about that…
You’ll be able to explore the universe in your cool spaceship and discover more than 25 fascinating planets. There’s a Honeycomb planet that is home to worker bees who travel to distant floral planets to gather nectar. There’s a Snow World that is covered with snow and icebergs. There’s even a Coral Reef planet made of interwoven red coral.
As you explore the universe, you’ll find new planets and you'll be able to add them to your galaxy. You'll also encounter cute space creatures; they’re lost and need your help to get back home.
