More About Active Arcade
__
While we all want to be healthy, fitness today is expensive, rigorous, time-consuming, and intimidating. In short, “fitness” today is just too hard for many.
Active Arcade is an entirely different approach. It’s a simple, natural way to get active just by playing fun games that use your body movement. Like the casual sports games that we play on the playground as kids, there is no better way to have fun and get your body moving than by playing and competing in physical games. Active Arcade is built for anyone to get moving with only their mobile device—no expensive equipment, no hardcore routines, no wearables.
Even if just for a few minutes a day, moving through Active Arcade is both fun and good for you. Simply use your body to play fun physical games and activities, and get immersed in the gameplay. You won't even know you’re working up a sweat!
Don't exercise. Just play.

A NEW TYPE OF GAMEPLAY
Your body is now a video game controller! Active Arcade uses advanced full-body motion tracking powered by AI, combined with gamification and augmented reality (AR) to make the experience fun for everyone. The camera will digitize your movement and power the gameplay in real-time.
SIMPLE SETUP, PLAY ANYWHERE
Active Arcade requires no special setup, wearables, or extra equipment. Just lean your iPhone or iPad against a stationary object like a chair, water bottle, or wall, and ensure the front-facing camera can see your full body. For an even more immersive living room experience, connect your device to a TV and mirror your screen through HDMI connection or Chromecast/AndroidTV.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Active Arcade is simple and accessible so that people of all ages and every ability level can engage. The games are easy to play and don't require advanced athletic skills. There are more casual games like Reaction that focus on hand-eye coordination, and more full-body games like Box Attack that use your athleticism. A wide variety of games are available for every player, with new games added regularly.
FUN WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Like real sports activities, Active Arcade games are about playing and moving with friends and family members. But unlike many connected fitness solutions, Active Arcade makes engaging with friends and family a quick and simple activity that can happen anytime, anyplace. 2-Player game modes get you and your friends playing side-by-side.
CAPTURE AND SHARE YOUR BEST MOVES
Like a built-in photo booth, you’ll get instant highlights from your time in Active Arcade that shows off your best moves and are fun to post on social media—complete with all the interactive elements included. Post your highlights on social media and challenge your friends to get active too!
ENTIRELY FREE TO PLAY
Active Arcade is free to play and contains no advertising, in-app purchases, or subscription model. It's an entirely free resource for the community and for everyone anywhere to play and engage. Share it with all your friends, family members, or anyone.

It is really good to encourage my child to do exercise. Especially the floor one. 40 min do these games, my child has a lot of sweat However for the pose game, i think the apps cannot read well, although we have do the right pose.

This app is very good for sure. 2 things of my opinion, can you please add more songs for superhits and more challenging levels? Second, please add a mode to play with other players/friends in same screen. That will make this app purrfect!!

this is really great i really did enjoyed the games, however theres a disadvantage to those near sighted because they need to go further away the screen and cant clearly see whats going on. I wish they could have at least one game thats easy to play while near the screen. thank you

Excellent app! Love the concept, no need for VR. The games are fun to play both single and duo mode. Hope in the future we can pause or quit mid-game. Plus a level system so we can see our progress. Can't wait for upcoming updates!

Great exercise, needs more features. I wish there was a way that I could switch off the sounds so my music isn't interrupted by the sounds of targets being hit. Inviting friends to beat your high scores would be fun too.

Bad senses and latency. Requiring more spaces than expected, if the accomodation is small, available spots to play the games or the choices will decrease. Also, some games have ridiculous round-spawn speed and false detection of player's arm or non-hand position. Yet, some games are playable and enjoyable. Overall, it's okay but still have spaces to improve.

With all the recent development in AI especially PoseNet, I always thought why there is no one making a mobile beat saber or kinect inspired games. But....here it is...you guys have just nailed it. Such a perfect game with mostly good implementation. On the top of it...its free without any ads. Lots of love to the team. I desperately wish you had a PlayStation (using the ps camera) and PC implementation (using webcam) as not all mobile phones have MHL capabilities and casting just lags.

I'm glad that it's finally on android! I had fun playing and exercising at the same time at home. It's a good activity to do during covid. There can be some improvement done to superhits (it doesn't sync my swinging hand motions very well) but I'm sooo happy that active arcade has this game that's similar to those VR music beats games. Keep it up and I hope more exercises can be added into this app!

Actually love it! Really responsive. (Except for Galaxy pong which didn't work at all) really fun. Really active. Family all loved it. For the developers; - separate profiles or the ability to say who got each hiscore would be great. - app caused phone to overheat (although that may be only when it was on Samsung dex mode) - battery drain is a killer, would be good to work on that. - Galaxy pong didn't even recognise our raised hand thus unplayable. Can't wait for more. Despite the above, 5*

I am too lazy to exercise but i like to play games .. so this app helps me exercise while playing. I even compete with my daughters to get the highest score. You can choose which game that is suitable for you. the SuperHits game is the one i enjoy the most with its song in the background. Hope more songs would be included .. its like doing aerobics

This game app is amazing, first of all, my entire family LOVED IT! Secondly, I thought the superhits tracking would be bad but it was really good! And speaking of superhits, can you add more tracks to it, its so much fun comparing my score to my friends' and we already played all charts. Also I would like you to add a setting to change the arrow size and speed, it would be very helpful! Also the exercising games on this app are really fun to play! Great app, 100% would recommend.

Great idea but unfortunately unplayable for me (may be phone dependent?). I have to stay so far away from the phone that I can't see the screen to fit my body in. I don't have a room in my house big enough to play this in! We're easily talking like 6 meters back, ridiculous. It plays in landscape and I have a very long&narrow phone so that may be the issue, I'm not sure... Would be fun to actually be able to try it though!

Amazing throughout. I've been playing this game from 3-years, and it has been amazing throughout. No lags, no crashes, absolute smooth gameplay and uninterrupted playing experience. Plus, most of these games can be extremely extremely supportive towards getting fitter, stronger and faster. Kudos to the team, well done!

Mostly excellent. The games that ask you to put the device on the floor work very well and apart from being immense fun, are also a good workout. The games that require you to put device on a table or chair and jump, don't work so well, with 4 of us ranging in age from 8 to 48 just couldn't get it to detect our actions very well. Overall, this is excellent, and I look forward to seeing further improvement over time.

A really good game! UI and UX feels really smooth, and the song selection is really good too. But I'm humbly begging you to add a Calibration option to the game as it's simply annoying to play most of the games without it. Also I think it'd be nice if the user is told where the menu screen is from the start, perhaps with a tutorial of some sort. I'd like to discuss this in details, but it seems that the character limit just doesn't allow it.

I tried one that required my full body to be onscreen. I was like 15 feet away from my phone before the game would start, i could barely see the screen. Some of the spots were physically impossible to touch Or i had to run forward or backward because of the depth thing. This is only advisable if you have a huge house or are outdoors.,. where you'll have to chase someone who snatched ur phone from 15 ft away., That's one way to get active i guess 😂 with a few tweaks, this game would be great!

The motion tracking is surprisingly good, the beat saber mini game worked for the most part, which I completely did not expect. Somehow, this game kind of brings me back to the days of the wii, playing this on TV is just such a pain though, wireless has a delay which makes the rhythm games unplayable, but works fine for ones like the laser dodge game. However, I notice a heating problem with this game, so if possible, please try to optimise it further so it doesn't strain my device too much.

Sorry to rate it this low. I can't use the app and kinda glitchy. There is no sound and can't find the option for sound. The faq didn't resolve any questions I have. Also, It is quite laggy though my phone has 8gb ram and about 250gb rom. Updated Android version 13. Would've been a nice app but I guess it is not for everyone. No wonder why this app hasn't taken off with less than a million downloads. The potential is there though.

just tried the app, very fun. But when I play superhits, we found it very tough to hit the target. It is like around 1 second delay after we swing our arm. I saw on YouTube and didn't see people have this issue. Are there any settings I need to set? My phone is Samsung s10e ,and I use chromcast to mirror the screen. I don't see the mirroring is lagging. I even tried to play just with the phone and still same issue. If I got this issue resolved, I must change it to 5 stars.

This has been great. I waited a few days to actually start playing and I'm mad I didn't start sooner. It had multiple games with varying difficulties. 15 minutes in, I'm sweating..highly recommend playing with either shoes or not on rugs. I was afraid it was gonna be too small on my phone screen for me to actually see and play, but it works great.
