Squatman is an app that does just one thing, once a day. Out of nowhere, a call (a push notification) arrives from Super Squatman. You never know when it will come. "It's Squatman time." You squat ten times, right where you are. That's all. At the same moment, Squatmen all over the world answer the same call. With every squat, peace energy gathers. Day by day, the world becomes a little more peaceful. Wait for the call.
