jWorld Demo (Android)

jWorld Documentation and Official Guide

jWorld is a 3D interactive mobile game for the iOS and Android platforms. It is distributed in the Apple App Store (on iOS devices) and the Google Play Store (on Android Devices).

Gameplay

jWorld is a 3D interactive maze. The objective is to find a path to the end of the maze. Users navigate around a 3D world (the jWorld) using touch on their device. Users can only move through the maze by accumulating steps in real life through their device's step tracking feature. Once the user has exhausted their accumulated steps, they can no longer move until they accumulate more steps in real life. The total number of steps of all users is tracked and distributed via a leader board with the user's chosen username.

Data Collected and Your Privacy

You will need a valid email address to create an account. You will also need to allow read access to your activity step tracker on your mobile device. You must create a username of your choice and a password upon sign up.

Activity Step Count Read Access

Each time the game is opened, the number of steps the user has taken since the last time the game was played is read from your device and saved to our database. Then, that number of steps is added to the current step count that the player has remaining. When the player is out of steps, they are unable to continue playing until they accrue more steps by walking in "real life."

Use of the step count is limited to assigning the number of steps in the game. There is also a leaderboard that shows the top players along with the total number of steps taken in entire gameplay alongside their chosen username.

Apart from the above, there is no other use of step count. If at any time a user wishes to delete their collected data, they can do so with the "Delete Account" option described below. This will permanently and completely remove all data collected by us.
