It is a general belief that gamers are couch potatoes who are spending most of their time sitting in front of their computer screens and are becoming unhealthy and unfit day by day.
Generally games do not promote fitness which has an unhealthy impact on the youth especially kids.
Step Up kills this cliché by promoting health and fitness among its users.
It is an application cum game of its kind where the more you burn your calories by walking,running or jogging, the more you win.
Step Up to Level Up as the tagline suggest allows you to build your physical health while simultaneously playing a game. The more you run, the more you jog, the more you walk, the more you win !!!
All you need to do is to walk, jog or run and the Step Up application will count the number of steps you took and give you points.
Calories Burnt= Steps Taken/10
Points= Calories Burnt/2
These points will be used to play the famous flappy bird game and reach new levels.
Suppose you completed 100 steps for which you got 5 points.
To complete the Level 1 of flappy bird game you need 4 points.You can redeem your 4 points to reach Level 2 and unlock the cool features of the game for Level 2.
