This is confusing
If you played RPGs (Role Playing Games) growing up, this app will make perfect sense to you; otherwise, it might be overwhelming at first. Be sure to follow the tutorial when you first load the website. If it's still not your cup of tea, checkout the above link, as well as MindBloom.

How do I heal?
After you play for a while you unlock the Item Store, from which you can buy health potions. Also, HP resets upon leveling up.

My tasks are too red, they're killing me too fast
This is good. The worse you are at a task, the more valuable it becomes - meaning you gain more experience for completing those red tasks. This will incentivise you to try harder the more you're struggling, as well as to avoid failing (since the more valuable tasks drain more HP). If you're really struggling, you can buy "Re-Roll" from the item store, which resets all your tasks to 0.

How do I log in / save my data?
Sooo… HabitRPG doesn't have authentication of any sort yet, unfortunately. Which sucks big time because you can't log in to different machines / mobile devices yet, or even a different browser on the same computer :/ I'm using a framework called DerbyJS and everyone's prodding the developer to integrate authentication (aka, Facebook login), myself included… and I'm desperately trying to find a temporary solution in the mean time.
In the mean time, consider this an alpha product and don't put too much data in just yet.
