I can tell you we share that view - we're looking forward to growing out more games in the future, however we aim to make the launch time compelling to users of all ages, and that …

Yes! Great to hear you've found something that effectively distracts you from getting fit! For me it has always been adventure sport - I grew up having to distract myself with skat…

At some point absolutely! The technology isn't where we want it to be yet though, so we've moved towards the existing market.

Good question. From our research into this possible direction early in Quell's journey, we deduced the risk with existing VR tech was unappetising. If the game lags by a few hundre…

Great comment, thanks for the suggestion. Fightcamp are actually another former YC company - they started as Hykso punch trackers before pivoting to Fightcamp more recently. They a…

Ah a Les Mills fan! I have several friends who love the training too, although I haven't heard much about the on-demand stuff until now. Thanks for sharing it! How has the communit…

Thanks for the feedback, and you've raised some great points. We're absolutely on-board with the idea of multiple games - we have the launch title being developed (that you've seen…

Thanks, great to hear you like it!

Great feedback, thanks for sharing! As for the haptics, check our stretch goals on Kickstarter! It's something we're very interested in...

Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful for us to hear you raise these points. The workouts are designed to meet your personal fitness level - the resistance bands can be swap…

This feedback is great, thank you so much for sharing! I agree about the rhythm section and some of the menu downtime. As for the sweating, any game in the fitness space needs to r…

Can see where you're coming from - VR's key USP is often touted as'immersion'. For us, it's about building something that is exciting enough to distract you from the workout you're…

Thanks! We decided against VR at launch because test users found VR fitness too sweaty and uncomfortable. However, we are working on building VR experiences for when the headsets g…

Beat Saber is amazing, I can't wait to try the new Linkin Park tracklist! We've actually had some fun playing it with wristweights (and even the Gauntlet prototypes) to see how muc…

Funny you mention Zombies Run. I felt exactly the same when we all tried out their app earlier in the year. Used it for one training run and in reality the story and zombie noises …

Never skip leg day! We looked into leg resistance bands early on in the design stage, and user tests led us away from them. In reality, you can get plenty of resistance for the low…

Check out our stretch goals - if we can get past $2m by 27th September then kickboxing mode is coming for you ;)

Thank you!

We actually love Ring Fit! Have you tried it? We managed to get one of the first copies available after it had sold out through the lockdown, and have put in a good few hours over …

Thanks! After the past few months with our heads down it's been so great to share what we've been doing with the world! Variety is absolutely something to shoot for. Personally I'v…
