PixelTurf: The World is Your Canvas šŸŽØšŸŒ

Claim your neighborhood and your continent in a global, location-based pixel art turf war right from your wrist! 

PixelTurf divides the world into Geohash zones, starting on a massive global scale. Access your current area's shared 72x72 pixel graffiti wall to paint custom tags. Will you overwrite rivals in a fierce turf war, or collaborate with locals to build art pieces? Highly contested zones eventually "lock down" as permanent historical Monuments, shrinking the board to smaller, local levels. Will your name be etched in history?

FEATURES:
 - Real-World Zones: The map moves with you, placing you in your exact physical Geohash square.
 - Pixel Art Editor: Design custom graffiti tags via the app settings
 - Earn More Paint Cans By Steps: Integrated with Pebble Health. Walk in the real world to earn digital paint!
 - Monument System: Be a top 3 contributor when a zone locks down to permanently lock your name on the leaderboard.

HOW TO PLAY & CONTROLS

1. Gear Up: You get 3 FREE Spray Cans daily. Earn 1 extra can for every 1,000 steps walked (up to a 20-can max). 
2. Make Your Mark: Open the phone settings to set your Username and design tags. Larger tags cost more cans.
3. Paint: In an active zone, press Select and choose "Paint tag".
    - Move: UP and DOWN buttons move your blinking tag.
    - Toggle Axis: SHORT PRESS Select to switch between Y-axis (Up/Down) and X-axis (Left/Right).
    - Confirm: LONG PRESS Select to spend cans and leave your mark.
4. Compete or Collaborate: Overwrite others to claim space, or team up to piece together collaborative pixel art! If a zone reaches high coverage with heavy action, it locks down permanently. The zone then subdivides into smaller Geohash grids, and the game restarts! This shrinking stops at Level 6.

šŸ”’ PRIVACY & SECURITY
Your location is used strictly on-the-fly to calculate your grid square. GPS coordinates are never stored, tracked, or shared.
