elusivekI was a bit in a Health frenzy and was checking how to use my Apple Watch as a pedometer (I know the function's in there, I just have to find it), when I came across this game: Walkr.
So this game sort of acts like a pedometer - and the steps you take count towards your gameplay. So it's got the regular Farmville or Tamagochi type of concept: "Plant/Feed something and wait until it produces something. Reap your benefits, then plant/feed again" type of concept.
The premises is that you are some spaceship captain and you have to explore the galaxy. You can either explore and find new planets (which you feed and wait for it to produce something), or build a station (that generates food over time). You can also attach a satelite to each planet to give it some attributes.
You can "Boost", which basically means use some sort of power to shorten either the exploring time, the production time, or the building time. This "Boost" power comes from your steps - that's where the pedometer function comes in.
You can even choose your spaceship. You can pay and buy certain spaceships, or you can complete some quests to get new spaceships. I unlocked this SS Doggii by walking over 20,000 steps in one day! Now I just have to collect enough money in order to buy a Husky "color" for this spaceship.
Once in a while you should check your message inbox, because aside from the dog that keeps giving you updates, random little aliens (who live in your various planets) have random chit-chats too.
Another no-sweat no-pressure time waster game with slight health-related motivation!
