Hey again, I hope you donât mind a small update after a month:
It took ages for Apple to review my game, but now itâs on iOS!
Same deal as Android: Fully free, no ads, no in-app purchases (except a âSupport the Developerâ option), offline and zero data collection.
Of course itâs still on Google Play Store and also available as APK on Aurora (or wherever else you source your APKs).
I just released a new update for a better building mode to make decorating easier. Keep up-to-date at !wanderingalchemist@lemmy.zip
Have fun, go for a walk! đ

Iâve been using this since you posted about it here before, and I love it but have two minor comments/gripes (maybe they were fixed in the new update, if so I apologize).
I wish it tracked my walk with the screen off. Iâve walked many miles with this app open, but as soon as the screen turns off it stops tracking me (even with the app still open when I turn the screen back on) so according to the app I still havenât completed the achievement for âwalk 4 kmâ. I went out for a 5 km walk the other day and had the app open the entire time and it thought I only walked about 0.5 because most of the walk the screen turned off. (I do love the option to lock the screen, but I donât want to leave my phone screen on for an hour long walk and drain the battery)
The controls for brewing potions can be picky. I know itâs supposed to be a little challenging, but using the ladle is frustrating as the sensitivity doesnât seem predictable and it tends to not move then suddenly fling across the screen, throwing water everywhere.
Like I said, these arenât major complaints and itâs not going to keep me from using the game. Thanks for making such a cool little game thatâs free and isnât harvesting my data!

Hey, thanks for the feedback!
The game doesnât run/track anything while your phone is locked or itâs not in the foreground (on purpose). But that doesnât mean it wonât track distance walked. You can lock your phone, walk 500m (preferably a straight line) then unlock. The game calculates the distance and when your speed was below 12 km/h and the last position isnât older than 30 minutes it counts! Just donât walk in a circle without ever opening the app (:
Weird, I havenât seen this behavior yet. As soon as you start dragging and keep your finger down the ladle should stick to your finger. The only jump would be if you raise your finger and start dragging in another position? Let me know, maybe I can improve it.
Hope that clears things up đ

Thanks for the assistance! Iâll have to play with it some more. I had it in the foreground and it definitely wasnât more than 30 minutes between me turning my screen on and looking at it and while I did walk in one big loop I had opened and played it at different times in the loop so it was more like a big L that my screen was off and in my pocket, and it only tracked a small distance of what I actually walked and it seemed to be the times my screen was on.
