FitBit Game Idea

What might be interesting and make getting steps more fun is to come up with an additional app that is a video game where, steps count as currency that you can use to upgrade your character and every goal you reach give character experience to level your avatar.

Thanks for the suggestion, hopefully it might inspire someone to make it.

I just submitted my watch face I had designed for my Pebble to the GAM. It's kinda like what you describe, only you don't earn currency. Levels are created via math based on the number of steps you take in a day. Not sure if it's okay to post links here, so @JonFitbit feel free to remove it if it's not, but you can check out the first version and tell me what changes should be added. I am planning on making a major visual overhaul for v2.

Awesome! I'm working on v2 now. It's a major overhaul that wasn't possible on Pebble at the time when I built it.
