exercise your demons
Throwdown Champs invites you to join the Liminal Gym (for free!), move more, and live longer. Coming to iPhone this year.
Welcome to Liminalia
A free-to-play iPhone fitness app like no other, Throwdown Champs catapults you down a wormhole and into a parallel world filled with folklore, misfits, and healthy habits.
Once you've remembered who you are, you'll soon meet Humbert – a thespian minotaur frustrated with his portrayal in the classics as a mere beast – and before long you're helping him bring the Liminal Gym back to its former glory.
And so the scene is set for Throwdown Champs. It's a free-to-play gym builder / management game, but... one with a bit of a twist.
...nyaaactually, scratch that, it's quite a big twist.
It'll give you more life.
A Better You
Throwdown Champs exists to do one thing: to help you work out again, tomorrow.
Building healthy habits is hard. In fact, if you're reading this, you've probably tried, and failed, and that's frustrating, but now you're ready to go again. If you're wanting a little help, we might have just the thing.
To get the Liminal Gym back to its former glory, you're going to need to help your Champs earn Gold to buy and upgrade equipment. They'll get Gold by beating a series of tougher and tougher workouts in the Liminal Gym. But to get fit enough to beat those challenges, they'll need to train. And training costs Sweat.
...only way to earn Sweat? Take your Champs out training in the real world.
With you.
Hard Work Play Pays Off
More than just badges and leaderboards, Throwdown Champs slings proper game design at fitness.
- This is a gang of misfits whose reasons for working out might just mirror your own.
- This is hundreds of structured workout challenges, supps, prizes, secrets, and more.
- This is you being a guest in their world and you returning the favour.
- This is the world's first interdimensional PhaseTime calls.
- This is starting off on an air bike made of cardboard and maybe winding up with one made of gold.
This is a riotous celebration of how games, fitness, imagination, and seeing the joy in little things, might just change the world.
With Heart
I've been where you are, at the beginning scary bit where there's a whole heap of hard work to be done before you get to where you want to get to. I knew going in to my journey from bulk to hulk that habit formation would be the hardest and most critical bit.
And so it was that once I was out the other end, I figured there must be a way to take what I'd built a 25-year career on – designing and shipping games – and mash that up with what I'd just done, in order to help others experience the massive benefits that fitness, exercise and a healthy lifestyle afford.
Took a couple of years for the epiphanies to hit, and then another four to teach myself how to code and actually make it, but here we are. Over to you.
You got this ❤️
