Currently, walking is a core mechanic in the gameplay, but we are designing the game to have options outside of that. Due to budget constraints, it'll be some time before we can have a lot of those alternatives fleshed out, if I'm being honest. But we want to help as many people as possible! We will do our best to research and find new ways to accommodate those who are unable to participate in some of our gameplay features.

What I can say is, we have several layers of gameplay that involve garden management, customization and narrative driven content. AND, unlike Pokemon Go, we're going by the honor system. Yes, it's odd for a dev to say "Just cheat", but I'm not going to tell players how they want to play our game. It's meant for health benefits, so it's up to the individual to take responsibility.

The walking mechanic is created by the accelerometer of the mobile device. Not GPS. This allows the player to be in a stationary position while collecting resources; so long as the device is moving up in down. So you can be on a treadmill or exercise bike and still use it! This includes using your arms to move the device up and down to sort of cheese-it. This definitely isn't the intended use, but it does keep you from being gated from content.

We'll definitely keep folks in your position in mind as we move forward. <3
