Editor review
Weightlift Grind is a weightlifting arcade with three-attempt format and increasing-weight progression. Squat, bench, deadlift across multiple competition events.
What works is the form-prompt system. During each lift, you have to hit timing-prompts for form correctness (foot position, bar path, hip drive). Missing prompts results in failed lifts.
Three lift types per event (squat and bench, plus deadlift). Three attempts per lift. Choosing weight per attempt is the tactical decision (heavier weights score more but risk failure).
Tested over two commute sessions. Touch with tap-prompt is comfortable. Keyboard space-bar also works.
Where the design tries hardest is the weight-attempt strategy. Picking weights too heavy risks failure; too light caps your score. Reading your previous-lift performance to pick attempt weights is the tactical layer.
Where I would push back is the visual repetition. Every lift looks similar regardless of weight. Visual feedback for heavy versus light lifts would have helped the format feel less repetitive.
Three stars. Functional weightlifting arcade with form-timing mechanic. Limited by visual repetition.
