  • The game provides a fun and engaging way to exercise, making users sweat and feel active.
  • Using a smartphone as a motion controller is a novel and affordable concept compared to traditional fitness devices.
  • The game has potential for improvement and could be a great alternative for those looking for fitness options at home.
  • The game is considered abandonware, with many users experiencing crashes and connectivity issues between the app and PC.
  • Microtransactions for additional exercises are frustrating, as users must purchase each one separately without an option for a complete package.
  • The execution of the game is poor, with janky motion controls and significant input lag, making it difficult to play effectively.
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with reports of freezing issues, particularly in the boss fight mode and during certain exercises like squats. While it runs reasonably well on Linux with Proton, users have noted occasional bugs, especially in the mobile version. Overall, the game is still in development, which contributes to its instability.

    • “However, keep in mind that this game is still not fully developed (for example, boss fight mode just freezes and you can't start the game).”
    • “The phone half seems a little buggy, but my muscles hurt so that has to be good, right?”
    • “And the squat exercise, or maybe up/down motion was especially buggy.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game relies heavily on in-app purchases and microtransactions, which many users feel detracts from the overall experience. Players express a desire for a one-time purchase option instead, viewing the current system as a constant money-grab.

    • “It would be a great game if it weren't based on in-app purchases; I would prefer to buy it with a one-time payment instead of dealing with constant requests for money.”
    • “The presence of microtransactions detracts from the overall experience.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have been noted as familiar by users, suggesting a sense of recognition or nostalgia rather than innovation or distinctiveness.

  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game has been criticized, with users suggesting that it lacks depth and engagement, implying that players seeking a compelling narrative would be better off reading a book.

    • “If you want story, then go read a book.”
