AirPunch - A Watch Game

You know the moves. The claw hand. The two-handed energy push. The one-legged
stance with both arms up. You copied them in the living room at eight years
old, right after the film ended, and nobody ever told you whether you got
them right.

AirPunch answers that.

Your Apple Watch measures how you move. A neural network trained on thousands
of hand-labelled repetitions decides whether the pose landed — on your iPhone,
not in a cloud. How well you executed it is your score. There is no step
counter here, and nothing to log.

THE MOVES
Nine to start with, chosen for how instantly you recognise them rather than
for authenticity. They are drawn as cartoons on purpose. The engineering
underneath is not a joke; the moves are.

CHALLENGE
Sixty seconds. Hit streaks and category bonuses stack into one multiplier, up
to 5x. Your watch shows the result the moment you stop.

THE WORLD FIRST SERIES
One move each month, unlocked for everyone at the same second — no regional
rollout, no early access. The final move opens worldwide on 17 September 2026
at 10:00 JST, as the doors of a very large games show in Tokyo open. Whoever
lands it first is genuinely the first person to land it.

PROGRESS
50 achievements. Air Punch Coins you earn by playing, or buy if you would
rather not wait. Your session writes to Apple Health as a workout, if you let
it.

Requires an Apple Watch. iPhone alone will not do — the watch is the
controller.
