In plain words
Pushup RPG is a fitness game for iOS and Android that turns real exercises into monster-fighting action. Players prop up their phone and perform pushups and squats, which the device's camera counts in real time using on-device pose detection to deal damage to enemies. The game features 48 monsters across 8 biomes and offers live multiplayer duels, with progression tied solely to completing actual reps rather than tapping or idle timers.
