CAMERA-POWERED BOXING GAME
The boxing game you
play with real punches.
Most boxing games are played with your thumbs. StrikeLab is played with your body. Prop your iPhone up, step back, and the front camera reads every jab, hook, uppercut and slip you throw, scoring them round by round.

HOW IT PLAYS
Three steps between you
and your first round.
No account setup marathon, no hardware pairing, no calibration wizard. Stand up and box.
◉
Hit what it asks for
Targets appear telling you which punch or defensive move comes next. Throw it for real and the camera reads it.
↗
Score the round
Clean punches build streaks and multipliers. Sloppy ones do not. Beat your last round, then climb the rankings.
WHAT MAKES IT A GAME
A high score you can
only earn by boxing.
In most boxing games, getting better at the game and getting better at boxing are unrelated. Here they are the same act, because the only way to score higher is to throw cleaner punches and keep working when the round gets long.
- 01The game knows which punch you threwA cross when it asked for a lead hook does not score. It reads punch type, not just motion.
- 02Defense is scored tooSlips and ducks are cued and read the same way punches are, so you train both halves of the sport.
- 03Streaks reward consistencyConsecutive clean punches build multipliers, so one lazy rep costs more than it looks.
- 04Fatigue is real, not simulatedNo stamina bar. By minute three of a round you simply have it, exactly like a real gym.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What people ask
before downloading.
Is there a boxing game where you actually punch?
Yes. StrikeLab is a camera-powered boxing game: you prop your iPhone up, stand a few feet back, and the front camera reads the punches you throw in the air. A real jab registers as a jab, so the game responds to your body instead of a screen tap.
Do I need a headset, controllers or wearables to play?
No. The tracking runs entirely on your iPhone's front camera. There is no headset, no controller, no watch and no sensor to buy or charge.
Is this boxing game free?
StrikeLab is free to download and includes a permanent free tier with selected Learn drills and a starter fight combination. StrikeLab Pro unlocks the full combination library, Shadow mode, the 1v1 opponent ladder and Locker Room customization.
Does a boxing game like this count as a real workout?
Yes. The rounds ask for hundreds of real punches with movement and defense between them, which is the same work you would do shadowboxing. Your conditioning comes from the punches you actually throw, not from anything the game simulates.
How much space do I need to play?
Roughly six feet by six feet of clear floor, plus enough distance from the phone that your upper body stays in frame. A living room is usually plenty.
Can beginners play, or do I need boxing experience?
Beginners are the starting point. Learn mode drills individual punches and defensive moves before anything gets combined, so you build the movements before you are asked to chain them under time pressure.
What punches can the game recognize?
Jabs, crosses, hooks and uppercuts from both hands, straights and hooks to the body, plus defensive movement including slips left and right and ducking under attacks.
