Addictive gameplay that motivates – Galactive Fitness Game Review

The most unique aspect to this app is not the game itself (which is a brickbreaker style arcade game) but instead the overall concept behind it – players have to run or walk with their iPhone in order to earn energy that then gets drained while they are playing in the app. So the app requires you to leave it to go exercise in order to come back and continue playing. Most apps don’t want you to ever leave so this is definitely different. And for me, it was a good reminder to get up and walk around. I think it would work well to motivate kids too – they are always sitting on the couch and staring at their phones, so at least this way they will be more active every so often. The game could be improved if there were better rewards for collecting more gems, but overall I think it’s a fantastic concept.
