Snail Walk
A step-count survival game: keep ahead of a giant snail or be eliminated
A rare fitness app built on loss rather than streaks and badges, and a useful study in how one clear stake can carry a whole product.
Snail Walk reads your daily step total from Apple Health or Health Connect and moves you along a path every player shares. Bob, a large snail, advances at a fixed pace each day; fall behind him and your run ends, leaving a grave friends can visit. There is no GPS, so treadmill and hallway steps count, and only the daily total leaves your phone. A leaderboard, cosmetics and achievements sit around the core loop. It is live on the App Store and Google Play as a single purchase with no ads and no free tier. The maker reports over 10 million steps logged; the site showed 37 walkers.
