Welcome to IdleStride

Introducing IdleStride: an idle tower defense game where your real-life steps power your progress.

We're excited to announce IdleStride — a new kind of idle game that connects your real-world activity to in-game progress.

The Concept

IdleStride combines two things we love:

  1. Idle games - The satisfying loop of watching numbers go up, upgrading your tower, and prestiging for permanent bonuses
  2. Walking - A healthy habit that many of us want to do more of

The result? A game where every step you take earns you in-game currency. Walk to work, earn coins. Hit the gym, level up your tower.

How It Works

  1. Connect to Apple Health - We read your step count (and nothing else)
  2. Walk throughout your day - Steps are automatically tracked
  3. Convert steps to coins - 1 step = 1 coin
  4. Upgrade your tower - Increase damage, speed, and range
  5. Prestige when ready - Reset for permanent bonuses
