Hi everyone,
I just released an early version of Idle Cat Fighter, a watch app that bridges real-world fitness with a lightweight idle RPG.
The game was Inspired by 2 classics: My Brute's (web app from arround 2008) randomized fighter system and Zombies, Run!'s idea of making your real workouts fuel the game.
Core mechanic: the app reads your activity history and awards tokens based on completed workouts. Each sport has its own distance threshold and pace gate — a 2.5km run at under 8:00/km earns a token, for example. Tokens cap at 15 so there's a natural pace to the game.
Gameplay loop:
- Create a randomized cat with unique traits
- Fight NPCs and a boss ladder using unlockable attacks
- Spend tokens in the shop between sessions
- View your workout history and token earnings in-app
Would love feedback on UX, and performance on different watch models, the game is obvioulsy bare bones but I hope I can continue working on it, and improve it with your input.
