I just hope the variety of movements goes beyond those seen in the video. So far it really looks like a boxing simulator and the repetitiveness of the Kickstarter video doesn't give the impression of an exciting game (you might consider cutting it to half the duration).

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great idea. I just wonder how much better it will be than Wii Sports and if you will even achieve those levels. For that to happen, your game must be addictive. In my experience, that works best if the player can build things within the game (think Stardew Valley/Minecraft, not character cosmetics).

Hey! Lorenzo from Quell here. Thank you, really appreciate the feedback. We're working really hard to add movements to the game - for us, it is absolutely key that it doesn't feel like a boxing simulator. We're also working on many other aspects to make the game fun and enjoyable long-term: we're building a fully fledged story, a super wide variety of enemies, main characters, environments, movements and spells, and one of our stretch goals is to develop a roguelike mode, which would really push our users to their limit!

If you have more feedback / input, please do let us know! Thank you!
