Walkr is a hybrid of a fitness game and an adventure game. Players walk around, and the game keeps track of the steps. It then uses those steps to move players around the game universe. The game has 50 planets to discover, various missions to complete, and a goal to help you reach 10,000 steps per day. The missions affect the game world, so you kind of build things as you go. The game worked mostly fine during our testing, but some players filed complaints about the app not always registering steps.
