The WalkAura closed beta is open
WalkAura is now in closed beta on Google Play, and anyone with an Android phone (Android 9 or newer) can join. It takes three steps: join the tester group on Google Groups, tap Become a tester on the Google Play testing page, then install WalkAura from Google Play.
The beta is free and has no ads. Expect frequent updates, balance changes and the occasional progress reset while we tune the game. Tell us what works and what doesn't on Discord.
Beta update 0.3.2: spell schools, step-based buffs and longer rifts
Longer rift expeditions. Runs now last 8, 10 or 12 encounters depending on the rift's tier, with a lieutenant midway and a choice between a harder fight and a supply route before the boss.
Rift rewards and practice. Win a rift once to claim one of three gear offers. Practise in a free Echo Trial and rewatch any fight.
Clearer spell schools. All five schools lay out their spells in three columns, and spell details show the exact effect of your current and next rank, including bonuses from your gear.
Talent details. Tap any talent to see exactly what it does in combat.
Meals and elixirs measured in steps. A meal now lasts 1,000 walking steps and an elixir 5,000, and the game shows how many steps remain.
Bigger bank. Every personal bank has 1,000 slots from the start.
Your character, your name. Choose your character's display name and avatar.
Walking at a glance. The idle HUD shows today's walking progress, and While You Were Away also reports steps saved to and spent from your Step Bank.
Crafting and loot. Learn recipes straight from a scroll's tooltip, new icons for cloth, leather and mail armor, and disenchanting now asks for confirmation and lists possible results with their chances.
Quests. The Completed tab is back in the quest journal.
Woodcutting paused. Woodcutting is locked while we rework it.
Reliability. More dependable step uploads when your connection drops mid-sync, and the game asks before switching when you sign in on another device.
