The cardio dungeon crawler
Your heart rate is the controller.
A cardio game where your pulse drives the dungeon. Hit your target zone and your champion strikes. Drift out of it, and the run stalls.
Real workouts, wrapped in pixel art instead of another bar chart. The harder and smarter you train, the further you go.
How it plays
Pick a workout. Pick a class. Press start.
Your live heart rate from Apple Health drives the game in real time. There are no buttons to mash. The effort is the input, and your body is the only controller you need.
Choose your run
Pick one of eleven dungeons, from a ten minute recovery stroll to a savage round of intervals. Each one targets a heart rate band.
Pick a class
Four classes, each with an ability tied to where you sit in your zone. The app suggests one for the day. The call is always yours.
Press start
Hit your target zone and your champion advances and strikes. Stay there and combos build. Drop out and the multiplier melts away.
Stay in the zone
The body teaches the game.
Match your heart rate band and every step lands a strike. Drift, and the wave overwhelms you. Perfect timing on the beat scores big.
The whole screen pulses with your pulse, so you always know what your body is doing without staring at a single number.
Eleven dungeons
Four kinds of effort.
Every dungeon is tuned to a heart rate band and a length, with its own pixel biome, its own enemies, its own weather. Difficulty climbs from one to five.
Gentle Garden, Twilight Recovery
Easy sessions for the days your legs just need to move and nothing more.
Crystal Caverns, Forest Trails, Catacombs
Classic Zone 2 cardio. Settle in, hold a comfortable pace, let it add up.
Interval Inferno, Volcano Ascent, Moonlit Marathon
Long intervals that climb and hold. For the days you want the grind.
Shadow Sprint, Iron Gauntlet
Short and savage. Rounds of peak effort with just enough rest to survive the next one.
Four classes
Four ways to play.
Each class has one ability, and every ability is tied to where you sit in your heart rate zone. The app recommends the one that fits the workout. The choice is yours.
Warrior
Scores big in the lower third of your zone. Built for steady days when you are settling in.
Rogue
Drop below target and you take no damage for 15 seconds. A friend on low energy mornings.
Sorcerer
Bonus score and double combo speed in the upper third of your zone. Made for intervals.
Monk
Your streak ladder climbs twice as fast. Made for the long endurance grinds.
Bring your own machine
Every workout is a quest.
Treadmill, bike, rower, or elliptical. If it gets your heart rate up, it runs the dungeon. The game reads your effort, not your equipment.
RUN
ROW
RIDE
Apple Watch native
Your pulse, your zones.
We read your live heart rate from Apple Health, so anything your Apple Watch or chest strap writes to it just works. Your zones come from your own resting heart rate, not an off the shelf formula.
Every session logs back to Apple Health as a real workout, with active energy from your Watch when it is there.
The fine print, in good print
Just you and your heart rate.
NO SUBSCRIPTIONS
No monthly toll to keep playing. Open the app, start the run.
NO ADS
Nothing sits between you and the dungeon. The screen is the game.
NO LEADERBOARDS
Your training is yours. We are not turning it into a chart that begs for your data.
A look inside
Straight from the dungeon.
A quick, real note. Heart rate training is real training. Dungeons & Heartbeats flags health conditions during setup and steers you away from anything that is not a good idea for you. It is not a medical device. If you have a heart condition, or you are new to hard effort, talk to your doctor before you start.
The dungeon is almost open.
Dungeons & Heartbeats lands on iOS soon. Apple Watch on one wrist, a dungeon in the other hand.
