PushArena is a Solo Leveling-inspired pushup arena. Fight bosses, duel real Hunters live 1v1, and climb from E-Rank all the way to S-Rank — every rep making your Hunter stronger, and you along with them. This is not another workout app. It's a game where the reps are real. HOW IT WORKS Your front camera tracks pushup form using on-device pose detection. No video is recorded or uploaded — everything runs on your phone. Every clean rep counts toward your Hunter's progression, your boss damage, and your live match score. BOSSES & GATES - Clear 35 unique gates spanning ranks E, D, C, B, A, and S - Each boss has custom HP, lore, and reward drops - First-time clears reward more than replays - Time-limited gates from C-Rank up — pace your reps or the gate closes ONLINE BATTLES - Real-time 1v1 pushup duels — most reps in 60 seconds wins - Quick match by rank or invite a friend directly - Rank points feed the Global Leaderboard - Climb the ladder from Iron to Diamond FRIENDS & LEADERBOARDS - Add friends by share code or by name - Compete on a Friends Leaderboard separate from the world - Battle invites with one tap HUNTER PROFILE - Choose your character avatar - Track total pushups, gates cleared, online wins, streaks - Rank up by earning rank points FOCUS SHIELD — OPTIONAL Want to tie training to your daily habits? Turn on the Focus Shield during onboarding and PushArena blocks distracting apps — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and more — until you earn them back with reps. Every pushup credits screen-time seconds. Every boss cleared unlocks minutes. Every online win adds bonus time. Tap UNLOCK to spend your balance; the shield returns automatically when the timer runs out. Tap LOCK anytime and unused seconds go back to your balance. Uses Apple's Screen Time / Family Controls — nothing behind your back. You can skip it entirely and just play the game.
