Overview

The game is set in a fictional gym called Flynn Fitness and uses an 1980s and 1990s visual theme. Players squat to lower their profile and fit through obstacles that advance toward them, and the aim is to reach the highest squat count possible. The game is endless rather than level based, and it includes Steam Leaderboards for comparing scores with friends and other players, and 11 Steam Achievements. It requires a standing or room-scale play space.

VR Fitness Insider covered the game in a January 2019 feature on squat workouts in VR. It said the game involves fast squatting while keeping good form, and that players should expect frequent failures at the early difficulty levels. The outlet called the game very rewarding and excellent for a free title, but said it wished the soundtrack were better.
