This is really cool! And congratulations on hitting your Kickstarter goal! This reminds me a bit of Wii boxing game that I liked, I really like this product. Your product also might have a market in fitness classes (once those reopen in the future). Would it be possible in the future to virtually box another person adding pvp to the product?

Hi, Martin from Quell here. Thanks for the kind words! Our own experiences with Wii Boxing have definitely been a touchstone for us; although we're developing a game with a completely different setting and style, I can say that I personally really enjoyed Wii Boxing for how it let you just pick it up and fight with your friends. For this reason, we're definitely working on a PvP mode!

We'd also love to see this used in gyms and fitness classes, and have been gathering insights from local gyms around London on how best to do this. Despite dealing with their own difficulties as a result of Covid-19, they provided some great insights that helped us to shape the product into something that we feel is compelling and effective, even to committed fitness folk.
