Hey again, I hope you donāt mind a small update after a month:
It took ages for Apple to review my game, but now itās on iOS!
Same deal as Android: Fully free, no ads, no in-app purchases (except a āSupport the Developerā option), offline and zero data collection.
Of course itās 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! š

Iāve 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. Iāve 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 havenāt completed the achievement for āwalk 4 kmā. 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 donāt 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 itās supposed to be a little challenging, but using the ladle is frustrating as the sensitivity doesnāt seem predictable and it tends to not move then suddenly fling across the screen, throwing water everywhere.
Like I said, these arenāt major complaints and itās not going to keep me from using the game. Thanks for making such a cool little game thatās free and isnāt harvesting my data!

Hey, thanks for the feedback!
The game doesnāt run/track anything while your phone is locked or itās not in the foreground (on purpose). But that doesnāt mean it wonāt 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 isnāt older than 30 minutes it counts! Just donāt walk in a circle without ever opening the app (:
Weird, I havenāt 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 š

Thanks for the assistance! Iāll have to play with it some more. I had it in the foreground and it definitely wasnāt 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.
