Getting my steps in!

I enjoyed being able to jump right into the game, versus having to sit through seemingly ten hour tutorial while feeling like I’m reading a novel. The monsters are too cute! I think being able to choose between chasing the monsters with steps, versus having to avoid those balls of fire is clever. The joystick made moving my character around a little challenging. It almost felt like he was skidding around on ice a bit, so avoiding the fire was a bit stressful. Being able to build those forts that help increase inventory such as wood, stone etc is cool. And it had me coming back to the game throughout the dayOverall I found myself walking around more and more thanks to this game! Doing 800+ steps for a monster chase felt like nothing! I look forward to feeling healthier while playing this game

Okay so, overall I really liked the game. I usually play it on my down time and by then I already have max steps so I don’t have to wait. I like collecting the monsters and I am so thankful for the farms. One thing that made me frustrated however, was the cards. The cards themselves aren’t much of a problem but both the sorting system and data need to be reworked. I cannot find how much damage my monsters do until I place then as party leader or until I level them which uses a lot of resources. If the data was already available then it would be much easier to use. Additionally, there aren’t many ways to sort your monsters. You can’t sort them manually so your only option is the recent one. I typically use them based off of power so it makes it hard to reference and compare them. Another thing, I wish the map would be bigger. I know we can zoom out, but even then it’s difficult to navigate due to not seeing the whole map. Maybe if there was a separate map or a guiding system it would be easier.Overall, still pretty good for beta.

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the game, especially the monster collecting and farms. Your thoughts on the cards and sorting system are really valuable, and we're actively looking into ways to improve this, including better data visibility and sorting options. As for the map, great news! Our new update just added more map content, which should provide more areas to explore and make navigation easier.

Definitely fun but buggy

I’ve very much enjoyed playing this game and I really like all the cute little monsters. It’s definitely an encouragement to get up and walk around. However, I’ve reached a point in what I’m assuming the first map (I recently just started) where I’ve unlocked all the space and defeated all the monsters except the final elite guardian whirlspire, and I have no clue what to do. I’m not strong enough and have no way of leveling up as I have no more tiles, and it won’t let me use the chase button even though I’ve already unlocked it (I’m also basically out of fruits). Many of my upgrades have also disappeared at random, especially for the chest, taking all of the resources I spent with it, which is a little annoying. So now I’m at a point in the game where I literally can’t progress and I have no clue what to do.

Frustrating to use but entertaining

I’m a college student who does a lot of walking, so this game is perfect and also gives me reason as an introvert to get out of the dorm! I love the characters, the designs, and the functions, but I very frequently get frustrated with UI/UX. For starters, I made the terrible decision of placing my buildings in the base just off the entering screen, thinking I’d be able to change their positions later. This is not the case, and having the screen revert back to the place it enters at every. Time. I. Press. The. Screen. Is very annoying. The ability to change locations of items at the base would be tremendously appreciated.Generally, the screen reorientating against what I try to have it set up to do is really bothersome. In the “Monsters” tab, the “auto assign” and “sort:” buttons really cloud the screen. Maybe a little bit smaller that way the user can pay attention to the utility of the tab? And also, I recommend sorting by power level and elements. If it clogs the screen when opening the “sort:” tab, you could try the approach of keeping it simple and a symbol that changes when pressed. Altogether, I’ve made a lot of critiques, but I do genuinely enjoy the game. I hope to see it improve and I love what I’ve seen so far!
