Every real jump keeps a little world going.
Count your jumps with your iPhone. Come home to your companion’s cozy cottage, level up a hero built from your actual training, and learn new skills from a 3D instructor that shows every move from four angles.
Today's App Store version (1.0.2) counts jumps with your iPhone camera and includes the course. The cottage, hero, adventure, guided workouts and 3D lesson films arrive in version 1.1. Free to download; Pro is optional.
How it fits together
One loop, powered by real practice.
Nothing in the game moves unless you jump. That’s the point: the cottage, the hero and the map are there to make coming back to the rope feel good.
- Step 1
Jump
Practise with real counting, a guided workout or a programme day.
- Step 2
Earn
XP, coins and food: a moonberry every 100 jumps, a bento every 300, a feast every 1,000.
- Step 3
Care
Feed, play, rest, clean and decorate. A cared-for companion hits harder.
- Step 4
Level up
Power, Speed, Stamina, Rhythm and Skill grow from what you actually did.
- Step 5
Adventure
Your last workout’s jumps become the attack on the map.
Train
Real counting. A plan for every session.
Prop up your iPhone, keep your whole body in view, and the on-device camera counter tallies each jump. Then choose what to practise.
- 30 guided workouts with a warm-up, timed rounds, rests and a cool-down, from first bounces to advanced footwork.
- 6 programmes, 95 sessions for building a habit, rope control, footwork, cardio and tricks.
- A reward card after every workout shows the XP, coins, food, stat gains and map damage your practice earned.
Counts are on-device estimates; lighting, framing and movement style affect them. Apple Watch, AirPods and pocket counting are part of the next update.
Your companion’s cottage
Jumping feeds the cottage.
Your companion lives in a warm low-poly cottage that changes with the time of day. Four needs show how it’s doing, and everything you need to look after it comes from practice.
- FullnessFeed food you earn
- EnergyRest and workouts
- JoyPlay and workouts
- CleanA quick clean
- Kind by design. Needs drift slowly and never fall below 30%. Your companion never gets sick, never leaves and never loses XP.
- Care pays off. Keep three of the four needs at 60% or more and your next workout deals 10% more damage.
- Make it yours. Furniture adds comfort, and comfort makes every rest stronger.
Your RPG hero
A character sheet written by your training.
Five stats come straight from your workout history, so the only way to grow them is to practise.
- PowerLifetime jumps
- SpeedYour best pace in jumps per minute
- StaminaYour longest session
- RhythmBest combo and longest streak
- SkillSkills you’ve practised and mastered
Your highest stat sets your class — Bouncer, Sprinter, Marathoner, Drummer or Trickster — and your rank climbs from Novice to Legend. Gear for five slots adds bonus points, and it’s bought with coins you earn by jumping, never with money.
Adventure
Your last workout is the attack.
Every workout moves you along the world map. Foes stand between you and each chapter’s guardian, and the battle replays your real numbers: jumps, best combo, stats and the cared-for bonus.
World map
Chapters of foes, each ending with a guardian. Defeated, current and locked nodes show the way.
Battle
See the breakdown of your last hit and roughly how many jumps the next win needs.
Quest board
Daily quests, the Weekly Guardian, the Rhythm Chain, challenges, a season trail and expeditions.
3D instructor
Lesson films that show every key point four ways.
A 3D instructor recreated from the course videos performs each skill while the camera works like a film crew: a wide orbit, a push-in with an explanation, a slow-motion detail and a final practice cue.
- Three skills in the first release: Basic bounce, Double bounce and Skier.
- English, Spanish and Simplified Chinese explanations.
- Pause, replay, change speed or switch to a front, side or back view.
Establishing orbit
The camera circles the whole movement while the key point’s title appears.
Push-in and explanation
The camera moves closer and a short explanation tells you what to look for.
Slow-motion detail
The movement slows down and orbits the part that matters — hands, feet or the whole body.
Reveal and practice cue
The camera pulls back and leaves you with one cue to take into your next session.

Questions
The things people ask first.
What’s on the App Store today, and what’s coming?
Today’s version (1.0.2) counts jumps with your iPhone camera and includes the beginner course and video lessons. The next update, version 1.1, adds the companion cottage, RPG hero, adventure map and quest board, guided workouts and programmes, 3D instructor lesson films, Apple Watch and AirPods counting, and widgets.
Does my companion get sick or leave if I miss a few days?
No. Needs drift slowly and never fall below 30%. Your companion never gets sick, never leaves and never loses XP. Come back, jump, and it perks right up.
Can I buy stats or gear with real money?
No. Stats come only from your training history, and gear is bought with coins you earn by jumping. Pro is an optional subscription for extra content and effects, and plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase.
How accurate is the jump counting?
Counts are on-device estimates. Lighting, camera angle, framing and movement style all affect them, so set up with your whole body in view and even light.
Is the battle content suitable for kids?
Kids mode hides the battle map, battle screen and damage lines. The quest board, cottage and learning content stay available.
Which skills have 3D lesson films?
The first release includes Basic bounce, Double bounce and Skier. Each key point is shown in four camera shots with explanations in English, Spanish or Simplified Chinese.
Pick up your rope. Somebody’s waiting at home.
