Walk ten steps and buy a Dog. Your canine companion adds an extra 4 Stepps to each of your own steps! Get 100 Stepps and it’s time to buy a Flock of Sheep. Now you’re really cooking: 40 Stepps per step and you’re covering 100 yards with every fall of your feet.
I like their play on words from BUY to STEPPS and obviously shows their playfulness as a company - which is great considering how successful they've been across their 8 apps developed at helping you get in shape - without thinking about getting in shape.
I loved playing Zombies Run as it really put you in the survival mode and got you moving especially in story mode. I personally think we need to do more playing in general and hope these games can be Gateway Games to an active lifestyle.
