Strides: Walkable Cities Game

A calm walkable cities game and one-tap puzzle: walk through parks, along paths and over stepping stones, one step at a time.

In a walkable city you go everywhere on foot: through the park, along the paths, over the stepping stones. Strides turns that city walk into a puzzle. Your walker has two feet. One stands still, the other swings round it. Tap anywhere to put the swinging foot down; then the other foot swings, the other way round. Step by step, walk to the ring in as few steps as you can.

The parks get trickier as you go. Walls stop a swing and send the foot back. Some parks say keep off the grass, so only the paths will do. Ponds have stepping stones. And birds need sending off before the ring counts.
