Pushup RPG

Pushup RPG is a free iOS and Android fitness role-playing game where physical exercises are integrated directly into gameplay. Users prop up their phone, and the front camera utilizes on-device pose detection to count pushups, squats, and sit-ups in real-time. Each successfully completed repetition acts as an attack against in-game monsters, allowing the player to earn XP, loot, and level up their character.

The app features a comprehensive story campaign across 8 hand-painted realms with 48 unique enemies and bosses, each with distinct fighting mechanics. It also includes a 'Live Duels' mode for competitive play against friends and an 'Endless Descent' roguelike dungeon. The core mechanic emphasizes privacy-first, on-device counting, ensuring no video data leaves the user's phone.

Pushup RPG aims to enhance workout motivation by gamifying the experience, removing the need for manual counting, and ensuring that progress is tied directly to physical effort. The camera acts as a referee, measuring full-range repetitions, depth, and cadence, while ignoring partial reps or incorrect posture. It supports both full pushups and knee pushups, with specific posture checks for each mode.
