Wombat · Optional reward loop
Coins, tickets, and Arcade: an optional wombat loop with clear rules
LiftPal connects selected completed activities to a friendly wombat area. Tickets open Arcade sessions; coins are for clothing, colors, and furniture. The workout log, Daily Goals, and Flow remain independent areas.
Tickets and coins have different jobs
Tickets are entries to the Arcade. Coins are the cosmetic currency for wombat clothing, colors, and room items. A larger coin balance does not improve an RPE entry, a Flow result, or any medical or athletic outcome.
New wombats begin with three tickets, and the bag holds at most nine. If an earned ticket would exceed that cap, it becomes 50 coins so that the concrete earned value does not simply disappear.
Milestones that can provide tickets
A fully completed Daily Flow can award one to three tickets within the cap. A completed workout, the wombat returning from an adventure, and a finished Weekly Reflection can also replenish tickets. Not every individual Daily Goal pays one directly.
Premium can double activity rewards. That affects the cosmetic and Arcade layer, not the meaning of workout history or Flow results.
One ticket opens a complete Arcade session
Starting uses exactly one ticket. While that Arcade session remains open, retries use no additional ticket and have no extra time or retry cap. A later new start is a new session.
Depending on the game and score, Arcade may award coins. The exact amount comes from that round and stays part of the playful extra.
Coins customize your wombat and its room
The wardrobe and shop include outfits, headwear, colors, and furniture. These choices can make the room more personal without changing training plans, Health values, or Flow scores.
Cosmetics remain optional. Daily Goals, the training log, and Flow stay available as independent areas.
Visible rules and a rhythm you choose
A visible ticket cap, named earning routes, and free retries inside one session make the rules inspectable. Because LiftPal is ad-free, the route to another round stays calm and direct.
Use the loop at your pace. Regular wombat, coin, goal, Flow, and workout data is processed locally without a LiftPal account.
