Mariposas: Pet Fitness - Work out, collect cute pets

by•
Mariposas turns working out into a cozy collecting game. You log real strength workouts, GPS runs(with splits and pace), and studio classes, and every workout earns a Gashapon capsule spin to hatch new watercolor pets and unlock outfits. Streaks, weekly quests, and a friends feed keep you coming back. Think Tamagotchi meets your gym log: the pet collection is the reward for real training, not just steps. It is free on iOS, with a soft pastel art style and an optional premium tier.

I was laying in bed trying to think of ideas and was reflecting on my time when I was younger. I really think there is a market gap for a new age Neopets or Marapets, though Mariposas isn't it I think it at the least was a solid inspiration for a lot of the baseline of this app. I was also going on dates with a girl who was into running and wanted to impress her. I did end up also getting into running along the way, this app required a lot of "manual testing" by running.
