Starting 2026 featured on the front of the App Store! Huge thanks to Apple for featuring @talofagames.bsky.social Monster Walk as we cross 100,000 players! I’ll be at DICE soon and am focused on meeting partners who want to collab on gaming x wellness. DM me if sounds interesting 👀 #founderlife

Our cozy fitness game Monster Walk just won its very first award 🏆! @talofagames.bsky.social was started to make a real-world impact, and this is one of the first awards that truly recognizes that mission. Thanks @unity.com for being an incredible partner from concept to launch! #unityawards

Woke up to seeing Monster Walk in the top charts! 🌟 For the first time in @talofagames.bsky.social history, we entered the Top 5 Free Adventure category. It's unreal seeing us next to games like Pokémon GO!! We've seen tens of thousands of players playing every single day, changing lives!

This is a first for us: Top of the front page of Google Play 🤯 In less than 2 weeks since opening up to the US and Europe, we've already seen 1 billion steps taken by players on Android and iOS in Monster Walk: Step Adventure! Beyond grateful for this moment with @talofagames.bsky.social!

Yesterday, we launched Monster Walk: Step Adventure in the US and Europe! This week has been a nonstop sprint - I did a 1:25 half-marathon PR on Sunday (6:32 min/mile)! In just the first 8 hours after launch, players already took 30 million steps and collected 15,000 monsters!

Proud to see Run Legends, @talofagames.bsky.social first fitness game, featured by Google Play for the Sydney Marathon — a race on my bucket list! After a week of daily runs through Cologne during devcom + gamescom, I felt firsthand how powerful it is to have fitness games to play.

Thrilled to join the speaker lineup at gamescom and devcom this year! 🫡 Thank you to the @igdafoundation.org , @igda.org , and @getwigi.com for having me as a speaker and panelist! I'll also be a part of the @amazefest.bsky.social hypertalks on Thursday!

1/2🧵 I ran a marathon with zero training—and finished 9th overall. Here’s what happened. I ran the SF Marathon this weekend thanks to a last-minute sponsorship from Porter.run! I finished 3rd in the open division and 9th overall among women with a 3:03 — close to my PR!

Proud to see @talofagames.bsky.social featured by Google Play in their #WeArePlay global campaign for developers making a positive impact! Over 7 million steps have been taken in the Monster Walk, already 7x more than last week!

1 million steps taken already. Blown away by the steps, coverage, and now a Google Play feature for Monster Walk and @talofagames.bsky.social ! I'll be at #Gamescom2025 for the first time! DM me if you’ll be there and want an early preview of what's next, or to join me for a walk and steps!

🧵 1/5 I thought the only way to stay motivated was to train harder. I was wrong. As a sub-3-hour marathoner, I know how tough motivation can be. While building Monster Walk with @talofagames.bsky.social, I discovered something magical: reconnecting with drive in a way that’s light and sustainable.

Jumped off a boat into SF Bay to face pre-launch jitters! 💪 Finished my first tri: Escape from Alcatraz — 2:53, 11th in my age group, 36th woman. Rough swim, slow bike (I need more training), strong run (5th in age group). If founder stress gets to you… a triathlon clears the mind!

1/ Ran 28 miles for my 28th birthday—my longest run ever—because startups don’t stop running. 💥 Here’s a quick update on @talofagames.bsky.social, what we did at #paxeast2025, and a sneak peek for what’s next 🧵 #founderjourney

1/3🏃Ran my first #BostonMarathon this week—3:02 on the hilly course after aiming for sub-3:00. Not perfect, but I’m darn proud. What made it even more special? I ran it with my mom. A dream since my MIT days, and something I’ll never forget. ❤️

It's the last day of GDC and got a surprise at 5 am that @talofagames.bsky.social Run Legends is being featured on the App Store! It's been a nonstop week with the highlights being hosting a 6 am GDC run Tuesday and giving a talk on getting funding the same day. #gdc2025

Jenny Xu | Talofa Games @xujennyc.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I'm doing my very first official GDC talk this year💪! In case you didn't want to join my 6 am GDC run event on Tuesday (or come to both 👁), I have a 3 pm talk that day with Justin Berenbaum and Tony Grayson about funding and sharing hot takes (?) and tips and tricks from our experience!
