About

PushWars

Read full description

PushWars is the first 3D pushup game. Your push-ups are the controller for three unique games! Prop your phone against a wall, get in position, and start pushing. The camera counts every rep and turns it into a sword swing, a punch, or a burst of speed — three full games, no taps, no buttons. PushWars turns the workout you've been avoiding into something you'll actually want to finish. FIGHT FOR ASHMOOR The village of Ashmoor has fallen. Trolls hold the gates, the warlord holds the princess, and the only weapon you have is your own chest. Fight through 30 battles across five chapters, level up your hero, and take down the boss at the end of each one. Every rep lands a hit. Every set clears a room. STEP INTO THE RING Boxing, one on one. Your push-ups load the punches; your rhythm decides whether you knock him down or eat the counter. Sloppy timing gets you dropped. Clean reps win rounds. Thirty fights from a basement gym to the undisputed belt. BURN RUBBER Push-up racing. Your reps are the throttle, your movement is the steering. Slow down and the pack passes you. Keep the pace and you take the checkered flag. BUILD YOUR FIGHTER Make a character once and take them into the campaign and the ring. Your look, your hero. A REP COUNTER THAT ACTUALLY COUNTS Under all the games is a real push-up counter built on on-device vision. It knows a full rep from a half rep. Your total, your streak, your best set — all tracked, all yours. • Counts reps with the camera. No wearables, no equipment • Works anywhere you can fit on the floor • On-device detection — your camera feed never leaves your phone • Daily streaks, personal bests, and progress you can see • Muscle worked and estimated calories after every session • Leaderboards: find out where you rank WHO THIS IS FOR People who bounce off normal fitness apps. If a spreadsheet of sets and reps has never once made you get off the couch, but you'll happily grind a boss fight for forty minutes, this was built for you. The workout is the same. The reason to do it is different. Start the campaign today. The princess isn't going to rescue herself. PushWars Pro unlocks all three games, the full 90-level campaign, and every progression system.
