Have you ever wanted to combine the thrill of music games like Beat Saber with the physical challenge of a full-body workout? Well, someone out there had the same thought—and they’ve created something truly special. I recently stumbled upon a virtual reality music workout game built using the Godot Engine, and let me tell you, it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before.
It’s fun, engaging, and pushes your body in ways that traditional rhythm games just don’t.
Let me break it down for you and share why this game is worth checking out.
What Makes This Game Stand Out?
This isn’t your average “stand-and-slash” VR experience. Instead of focusing solely on arm movements, this game incorporates a variety of positions and exercises to keep you moving from head to toe.
Think squats, pushups, burpees, crunches, jumping, and even running in place. The idea is simple: hit the musical cues by moving your body into different positions. But here’s the kicker—it’s not just about hitting the notes; it’s about fully committing to each movement.

The developer has done an incredible job designing the game to switch between these positions seamlessly, ensuring you’re never stuck doing the same thing for too long.
Whether you’re leaping to hit high cues, dropping into a deep squat for low ones, or powering through burpees to keep up with the beat, every moment feels dynamic and challenging.
How Does It Work? Here’s the Breakdown
Let’s dive into the mechanics of the game because, honestly, this is where it gets exciting:
- Standing & Running: Most of the gameplay starts here, but if you want to boost your score, you’ll need to jog in place for multipliers.
- Jumping: High cues? You’ll need to jump to reach them. No shortcuts allowed!
- Squatting: Deep squats are essential for hitting lower targets. Your legs will definitely feel the burn.
- Crunches: Lie back and engage your core to hit head and double-hand cues. It’s sneaky ab work disguised as fun!
- Pushups: Drop into a plank position and punch one-handed to hit hand cues. Trust me, your core will light up.
- Burpees: This is where things get intense. Hit a cue in the pushup position, then explode upward to catch the next one mid-jump. Exhausting? Yes. Rewarding? Absolutely.
The genius of this design is how it keeps you constantly switching between these positions. Not only does it prevent monotony, but it also ensures you’re working multiple muscle groups throughout your session.

How to Play?

- Try to hit the hand cues to the beat of the music. Play with open palms to improve tacking
- The head cue has to be touched with your head. Just touch it, no headbutting
- Run in place to receive point multipliers, up to 4x
- If you want to switch out an exercise during play double tap the new exercise twice in the exercise selector to your right
The optimal time to hit the cues is when the marker that rotates around the cue touches the second one.
Upon start you will see several different blocks. Touch one of them at the desired difficulty spot to select a level and difficulty. To disable exercises switch them on/off with the switches to your left.
Exiting a stage during play: On the top of the left blue pole is a sign to exit a stage.
Freeplay mode
Play with your own music in Freeplay mode* Put on some music in the background (maybe using the nullnMusic player) and hit the blue drum in the main menu to the beat of the music. Once the beat is set select one of the freeplay modes to your right. They will send the cues according to the BPM you set but without playing any music.
Beast mode
Touch the block to your left that reads "Toggle beast mode" to enable the claws. Once enabled make a fist to extend them and open your fist to retract them. At the moment the claws are only eye candy and have no function. If they prove to be reliable they will become an integral part of future gameplay.
Why Should You Try It?
Here’s the thing: this game isn’t just about having fun (though it’s definitely fun). It’s also about giving yourself permission to move, sweat, and laugh while playing. Whether you’re looking for a quick burst of energy during a busy day or a longer, more intense workout, this game adapts to your pace.

And let’s not forget—this was made using the Godot Engine! If you’re familiar with Godot, you already know how versatile and user-friendly it is. For developers, this project is a fantastic example of how Godot can be used to create innovative, physically engaging experiences without needing a massive team or budget.
Who Is This Game For?
Honestly? Everyone.
- Parents: Want to encourage your kids to stay active indoors? This game is a blast for younger players who love music and movement.
- Fitness Enthusiasts: Looking for a new way to spice up your routine? This could be your next favorite workout.
- Casual Gamers: Even if you’re not into intense workouts, you can still enjoy the game at your own pace.
It’s all about meeting yourself where you’re at. Go hard and turn it into a serious sweat session, or take it easy and use it as a fun way to stretch and move.
