Index of Terms

Here you will find a helpful **alphabetical** list of terms used in the game, including links to other pages.

### Achievements

See Achievements for list.

A list of accomplishments, including planets  discovered, galaxy population, DFRs  built, coins saved, number of days in a row the target "10K steps in a day" is reached, wonders unlocked, and photos shared. Your planets discovered achievement (ranging from rookie to captain) appears to others.

### Aliens

### Bridge

See Bridge.

Feature available linking an email or facebook, twitter, google, apple, or weibo account. Bridge allows you to link friends as "copilots" and gain free extra energy based on how much energy they generate.

### Booster

Feature available after discovering 10 planets. Normally, you get one energy per step, then once you hit 5,000 steps in a day you start getting two energy per step, and if you pass 10,000 steps in a day you start getting three energy per step! Activating Booster allows you to receive one more energy per step than you currently would, up to four energy per step if you've already walked 10,000 steps that calendar day! Once activated, Booster runs for two hours, then requires an 18 hour cool-down before it can be used again.

### Coins

The main currency in the game. See Coins.

### Cubes

The "special" currency in the game. See Cubes.

### Daily Gift

At the top of the menu page is the daily gift, which you can open once per calendar day. Additionally, each calendar day you can watch up to 16 ads to gain 8 cubes and a certain amount of food. (Amount of food is dependent on the number of planets you have.) Watching these ads is also how you slowly unlock the 10 colored/numbered production satellites which can fully match any planet.

### Daily Log-In Reward

Not to be confused with the daily gift, there is also a prize automatically given to you by opening walkr. It appears at the top of the screen with the day number, and the prize rotates through 7 items: 100 coins, 2 cubes, 500 coins, 100 food, 5 cubes, 1 package, and 7 cubes. "Daily Log-In Reward" is the name on the official support/help website; the name does not appear in the game.

### Epics

Feature available after discovering 10 planets and linking an email or facebook, twitter, google, apple, or weibo account. A team of players can donate items as a group and earn coins and cubes or special planets. See epics.

### Events

A special type of planet only available during specific months. See festival planets.

### Food

Used to feed planets, also donated in epics. See food.

### Friends

You can add and view friends in walkr by going to the main menu, clicking social, then ranking. Friend requests will add an orange dot to the envelope. This is where you can visit someone else's galaxy. You can also send friend requests from the members list in your Lab or Epic, including past epics. The number of friends (up to 80 friends) affects your population on Earth. Also when inviting others to join your epic, lab, or bridge, you can only choose from your friend list. (Labs and Epics can also be open to the public depending on the settings. Requires linking an email or facebook, twitter, google, apple, or weibo account.

### Lab

Feature available after discovering 20 planets and linking an email or facebook, twitter, google, apple, or weibo account. Join or create a lab, and each member in the lab can select one of their own planets to be "researched" (upgraded) and all other members donate energy to upgrade the planet! You get 5000 coins for every 500 energy donated, and can donate up to 2500 energy per request. Each request is active for six hours (or until an upgrade is complete) before you may ask again.

### League

(See Ranking) When viewing your rank, you can compare your rank to others in your league. Your league are all other players within a similar range of alien population. Leagues range from "Comet League" (0-199 alien population) in groups of 200 until "Galaxy League" (over 1200 alien population)

### Level

The "Core Level of Walkr" (Spaceship). This is upgraded with coins, and determines the maximum number of DFRs you can build (one more than the level number), and the maximum amount of food you can carry. The reported maximum level is 100. This is displayed as part of your game statistics to others, but only population affects your rank.

### Messages

A collection of messages received from the game; epic updates, planets and satellites discovered, transporter fueling, temporary ads and promotions, and random messages from creatures on your planets. You cannot disable them or reply.

### Missions

See missions.

Missions are "recipes" which are unlocked when you discover all the planets associated with the 2-3 "ingredients" (resources). When a mission is active, you do not get coins for the resources involved, however you get several cubes for completing each mission! Some epics and spaceships are only unlocked when a certain number of missions are completed.

### Package Delivery

Occasionally, a package icon will appear in the corner when viewing your galaxy, which will direct you to a planet requesting a package pickup. When your ship arrives at that planet, you can click on the package speech bubble to pick it up. A different planet will request the package, and the package icon in the corner will direct you to that planet. When the ship arrives at that planet, click on the package speech bubble to drop it off. You will then be rewarded with either coins or cubes. Package delivery request will appear occasionally throughout the day, with the rewards alternating between coins and 1, then 3, then 5 cubes. The double ^ icon in the corner can spend energy to speed your ship, but this is generally considered not the best use of energy.

### Planets

See planets.

Planets come in several types. Animal, Cuisine, Element, Plant, and Unique are discovered randomly. A few planets can only be unlocked by completing an Epic. Festival type are discovered during certain months. Earth is the only Solar type. Green Garden is a "Super" planet type that is unlocked by downloading their sister app Plant Nanny 2 and does not contribute to population totals.

### Picture

In the upper left corner is a camera icon. You can use this to take an in-game picture of a planet or DFR that ignores the level and the status bar. This is useful in determining what planet is being explored by looking at the code number in the top left corner of the picture.

### Population

Refers to the number of aliens in your galaxy. Earth population is determined by the number of friends you have within walkr. The current maximum is: 16 on each planet (x 148; green garden doesn't count) plus up to 4 for population bonus satellites (x 30) plus 25 from the bonus population satellites (such as +3 Hubble Telescope for rating Walkr in the app store), plus 30 (x 2) for the new Alien Transporter; for a total population of 2573.

### Ranking

Your ranking (on the social tab of the menu) is determined by your galaxy population. You can see how you rank among your Walkr Friends, region (usually country), or "league"; which is a comprised of others in the same range of population as you.

### Resources

Resources are the unique products a planet produces. They can be harvested for coins, used in a Mission, or contributed in an Epic.

### Satellites

See satellites.

Satellites are found when a new planet is discovered, and will provide a bonus to planets of a particular type, or a full/double bonus only to its perfect match planet; which is usually of the same type as the type it partially matches. See satellites or planets for the list of ideal planets.
Some satellites are found through other means (such as rating walkr or watching ads) and provide a full population or production bonus to any planet they are attached to. No satellite can attach to more than one planet, and no planet can have more than one satellite attached.

### Settings

Place in the app where you can adjust background music and sound effects, adjust language and notifications, see account settings and current version, and link to the FAQ/troubleshooting.

### Shop

The place in the app where you can use real currency to buy cubes , in-game stickers, ad remover, and the 80% copilot bridge slot. There are also link to their other apps.

### Spaceship

See walkr ships.

The spaceship stores the food collected from DFRs and delivered to your planets. Spaceships are purchased with cubes or unlocked through gameplay. Spaceships vary in speed, which determines how fast the ship can reach a planet to deliver a package. Energy storage capacity is determined by the spaceship, and amount of food stored is determined by the level. Unused ships can be linked to help increase these numbers; see walkr ships for details.

### Support

### Transporter

New feature that allows you to bring in a new alien visitor looking for a home. After helping it travel to its new home, it increases your galaxy population by up to two.
