• Steeple : here you have to jump sometimes but it will be easy since the road is completely flat and there is no hole.
• Trail : run on an hilly trail with jumps and small holes but without direction change
• Castle : use all actions in this level like in a platform video game : jump, direction change
• Space : jump from platform to platform, change direction in space and try to find shortcuts

Choose your distance between 100m and a marathon !

Using your smartphone

Having the option to perform actions within the game will really improve your fitness experience and make time fly faster.

In order to perform these actions, just tap on the screen of your smartphone or tablet.

1. Change direction
2. Throw a bomb and attack other players
3. Jump

If you jump twice in a row, you make a double jump and you will be able to pass over higher obstacles.

Using 8Bitdo gamepad

The 8Bitdo gamepad is also compatible with other standard applications and games. See below to get more information on how it works... If you are living in France, you can buy a gamepad in our Shop for France

Using Moonrun

The Moonrun system allows you to perform in game action without additional devices. Simply jump for real to jump in the game, turn left or right to make U-turn or squat to attack your opponents with a bomb.

First, press the start button to power on the 8Bitdo gamepad (for both Android and Windows). If the LED blinks rapidly, this means that it has already been paired and it tries to connect to the paired device. When the connection is established the LED light on the bottom of the gamepad stays on.

If you want to pair the gamepad to antoher device, you need to cancel the previous connection. Just hold Select (left middle button) for more than 2 seconds.

In this case, or if the gamepad has not been paired before, the LED light blinks about once per second. This means that the 8Bitdo is in pairing mode. Scan for Bluetooth devices on your main device (Windows or Android, the gamepad is considered as an input device) and select the 8bitdo Zero gamepad to add it to paired devices. The LED light should stay always on after this this operation as it is connected.

Be sure sure that the 8bitdo Zero battery is fully charged to be sure to detect it while pairing.

Here is the layout for Arcade Fitness :

Test our training indicator. This is a speed or power recommendation which is specific to the distance and workout (i.e. intensity level) you choose... It will make you do your best effort or just help you train with intervals.

You just have to go to "Settings Menu", then enter your FTP or average best 1h running speed in km/h in the Sensor tab. Finally, be sure that the option is activated and you will be asked to choose a workout before you start playing.

Fitness Level is an indicator for both running and cycling which shows how fit you are. It ranges from 0 to 20.

We build a relathionship between power and running speed. Each time you do a workout, your average power for 1 hour is estimated (FTP) with what people do in average on the distance you choose compared to what they do on a 1h workout (for example, people in average are able to hold 2.7 FTP for 15s, which is the 100m running or 300m cycling level).

Then the power for 1h estimation is converted into equivalent running speed.

This means that someone who has a Fitness Level at 11 should theoretically be able to run 1km/h faster than you on 1h workout if you are for example 10.

You can choose opponents speed in the Settings Menu, Users tab. AI speed should be inferior or equal to your Fitness Level.

In addition, speed adjustment is now available directly in game. You can press on the top left screen buttons directly on smartphones or use up or down arrows on all platforms.
