## What is Goblin Gains?

DROP. 20 PUSHUPS.

Goblin Gains is a fitness app for people who won't go to the gym but will do 20 pushups if a goblin yells at them.

A few times a day, at random, Gutz ambushes you with a quick bodyweight set: pushups, squats, a plank, a wall sit. No equipment, no gym, about a minute. Tap Done right on the notification and get on with your day. Or snooze, and hear about it.

AMBUSHES
• Short sets sent at random inside the hours you choose
• Pick your moves, your days off, and quiet blocks for meetings
• Done or Snooze straight from the notification
• Count with Gutz: tap along as he counts, or run a timer for planks and wall sits
• Missed one? Make it up the same day for half the stars
• No signal? Tap Done anyway. It counts from when you tapped
• Planks and wall sits count down on your lock screen
• Save your drills to Apple Health and fill your Exercise ring

YOUR GOBLIN
• Pick one of 8 goblins. It starts as a Couch Potato
• Keep showing up and it evolves, all the way to Absolute Unit
• Slack off and it shrinks back, with a small funeral
• Earn stars for every set and spend them in the Drip Shop on capes, crowns and aviators
• Streaks, with freezes for the days life wins

YOUR HORDE
• Private, invite-only groups for friends and family. Join up to 5
• See who did their sets and who snoozed
• Heckle a slacker: spend stars to send them a drill right now
• Raid together: every rep counts toward upgrades for your Horde's lair
• Challenge another Horde to a one-day or one-week battle and climb the rankings

THE FINE PRINT
• Honor system. Nobody checks your reps. Gutz just judges
• Three spice levels for the trash talk: mild, spicy and savage
• No ads. Your data is never sold
• Start without an account, then lock in your goblin with Apple or Google so it survives a new phone
• For ages 13 and up

Goblin Gains is not medical advice. Do what your body can do, and talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-11-08

Trophies are here. Earn fourteen good ones, each with a one-time star bonus, and eight you'd rather not, like Ghosted and Snooze Button Champion. They show on every Goblin Card and in the lair gossip, and Gutz tells you the moment you earn one.

Horde battles: leaders can challenge another Horde to a one-day or one-week battle. Most reps wins stars for everyone, and a trophy. Every Horde's record goes in the rankings (names and records only, never who's in them).

Raid parties: win a raid and the app celebrates your lair's new upgrade the next time you open it.

Also new:
• Done counts with no signal and lands as soon as Gutz can hear you
• A plank or wall sit counts down on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island
• The app icon shows how many drills you still owe
• Sit-ups and bicycle kicks, two new floor moves
• A new ambush replaces the last one instead of piling up

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-31
