Ice hockey
MotionPuck
Step onto the mat and play ice hockey with your feet.
You're the goalie, the shooter, and the puck handler. Play a three-period Full Match, or pick one mode in Free Play. Besides Goalie, Shooter, and Dribble, there's Ice Resurfacer, Curling, and Curling Duel, where two players take turns. The results screen only talks about what you did, with no red X marks.

Setting up and stepping on the mat
Setting up
Where to step
As goalie, the 8 squares are the 8 zones of the goal: step on the square where the glowing ring stops to block the shot. As shooter, wait for the goalie to drop and settle, then step on a square that isn't covered.
Higher levels get harder with later cues, more squares to watch, and more fakes, not with very short reaction windows. You never have to step on two squares at once.

Modes included
The main menu has two paths: play a Full Match, or pick one mode in Free Play. Every mode has Easy, Normal, and Hard levels.
Full Match
Three periods (dribbling, goalie, and shooting) add up to one final score: your goals are your points, and goals you let in go to your opponent. The more pucks you collect while dribbling, the more shots you get. Highlight replays play between periods.
Goalie
Step on the square where the glowing ring stops to block the shot. Saves in a row double your points. Easy uses only the four corners, with no fakes. Hard adds fakes and shots off the boards.
Shooter
When the goalie drops and settles, that's your cue. Step on an open square to shoot. Shoot early during the countdown, and a goal is worth more.
Dribble
You glide forward automatically. Switch lanes, jump, and slide low past obstacles, collecting pucks along the way. Hitting an obstacle doesn't end the run. It just resets your streak.
Ice Resurfacer
Watch the ice resurfacer from above and step up, down, left, or right to steer it until the whole rink shines. You can't fail: it stops at the boards and waits for you, and your score is tallied when time is up.
Curling
Step left or right to move the aim line, then step on the top square to throw. After the throw, alternate left and right to sweep. The center of the target scores the most, and you can't fail.
Curling Duel
Two teams take turns throwing on the same mat. Stones stay on the ice and knock into each other, and scoring follows curling rules.
Who it's for
Sports fans
A Full Match has an opening, three periods of offense and defense, and highlight replays. It plays like a real game.
Older adults and beginners
Easy is made for older adults and beginners: cues show up earliest, and as goalie you use only the four corners, with no fakes.
When you want to take it slow
Ice Resurfacer and Curling have no way to fail and a gentler pace. Good for a little thinking and focus.
Two players
In Curling Duel, two teams take turns on the same mat to see whose stones end up closest to the center.
Scores and records
After each game, you'll see your score, where you stepped on the 3×3 grid, and how you did against your personal best. Play history shows games and minutes this week, your best in each mode, a bar chart of your last 10 games, and your average reaction time. You can also export a CSV or PDF.
Records stay on this device and are never uploaded. Play history is for reference only, not a medical or fitness assessment. Reaction times include device and display delay.
