Field notes
Setup asks players to prop a phone sideways or open a laptop roughly two metres away, then stand still for a second while the game learns their size. The FAQ says Google's MediaPipe pose model finds 33 body points per frame; a move detector maps those points to left, right, jump, or squat. The site says iPhone and Android apps are being built, with no release date.
