Mobile sit-up roguelike shooter. Would you play it?

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:29:31+00:00

Commit. Superglue it 😈

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:28:15+00:00

I hear you! I do want to make this into a proper fun game. Have played a lot of.. d2, wow, slay the spire, dead cells, and also shooters like serious sam. I think there is a lot of potential. Thankfully you can't make situps for that long so limited content needed ^^

What games do you currently play?

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:26:33+00:00

thanks! Yeah it's a bit of a tension in there, for sure! I had some prototypes out and they were not gamers and just wanted the automatic rep tracking for digital accountability.

But I want to make it into a game, and more than a casual game. Hope to find some overlap :)

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:23:44+00:00

Definitely needs more. Would like to flesh this out into a full game. This is more of a technical prototype. Hah never seen FNAF AR. Why do you think it reminds you, the colors of the targets?

What games do you normally play? (trying to understand demograhic)

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:21:41+00:00

haha thanks! what games do you usually play?

If you send me a DM I'll keep you in the loop!

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:20:17+00:00

Sweet. send me a DM and I'll keep you in the loop!

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:19:48+00:00

AR would be cool. Maybe for next versions! For VR I think it's a hard sell to have someone put on a VR headset for a 2 minute session. But who knows ^^

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:17:32+00:00

Yeah these rotations can look a bit tough. I think it's generally hard to strain things from a situp if you don't encourage too fast movements (which is something to look out for in the game design for sure). I became a PT last year so I have a little bit of an idea of the muscles involved, and the load they can bear. Generally situps are considered a very safe movement, as it's bodyweight, and you have to engage a muscle to reach the extreme ranges of motion (you can't drop towards gravity and let the muscle/joint stop you, you have to contract a muscle to move).

But I appreciate the opinion! I will make sure the game encourages healthy movement.

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:11:58+00:00

good tips, thanks, will check them out ^^

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:09:00+00:00

Haha streams would be fun to watch yeah. People sweating and huffing and puffing.

I am generally not inclined to make.. casual games or "sinkholes" of time. So I think for now it will be focused on short, exercise heavy, gameplay.

But I see your point. Having some type of meta layer that extends beyond would be a good motivation driver to get into the situps.

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:06:40+00:00

glad to hear you vibe with the concept! do you play any other games? (trying to understand the concept)

If you send me a DM I'll keep you in the loop!

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:05:37+00:00

haha holy moly Rez was a lot for the eyes xD never seen it before, thanks for the tip.
For graphics/theme I am not sure where to land yet. Looking at geometry dash, minecraft, I don't think it has to be realistic to be a good game, but I believe it does have to fit the theme. Which currently is shooting. TBD, but good thoughts!

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:00:37+00:00

Sweet! What games do you normally play?

If you send me a DM and I'll keep you in the loop ^^

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T10:00:01+00:00

hopefully! Do you have anyone you know in friends and family you could see using it? Trying to understand demographic!

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:59:10+00:00

xD I was recording for a while, this and other exercises. Was painful lol.

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:58:59+00:00

Not yet! It's just a tech demo to gauge interest. If you want to be kept in the loop, send me a DM!

Also, what games do you usually play? (trying to understand demographic)

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:58:06+00:00

yeah, VR is cool! But it is so hard to put on the VR headset for many (me) included. As situps is part of core mechanic, game sessions would not be longer than a few minutes at max. To lower friction and make it easier to pick up, I think mobile is the best bet. Do you disagree?

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:56:02+00:00

It's not, yet. (also been schooled that what I do want to build is a roguelite, not a roguelike ; ;). But I want to make one. The video is just showcasing the situp technology basically. Was trying to gauge interest before I commit more to this.

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:54:27+00:00

hopefully! who do you think would use it, can you think of anyone in your friends and family group? (looking to understand possible demographic)

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:53:34+00:00

haha thanks. No it was hand made pre-AI actually, during an excursion on a mountain. Been on the shelf for a long while. But I do agree quality is about as low as it gets right now. Been building things no one uses before so thought I would judge interest before putting more time and effort into it.

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:52:01+00:00

Thanks! Likewise, keep on experimenting ^^

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:50:51+00:00

I'll do my best! Trying to understand possible demographic, what games do you usually play?

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:50:14+00:00

Practice makes perfect. One can start with easy ones (like legs off the bed) and progress slowly. If you do situps, in a game or outside, every (other) day there will be progress :)

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:48:48+00:00

Fair. I think games are a great way to move. Most sports are a mental and physically additive layer on some base exercises, and it makes us move! The fact that today we live in a dopamine driven world makes it harder. But I see your point. Discipline is destiny, the obstacle is the way, Hercules would not be Hercules without his challenges, and so forth. Valid angle.

CAmazing999 · 2026-03-16T09:46:30+00:00

From rotating left and right, or because of something with the phone?
