This update contains a special treat - a winter environment for the Holidays! We hope you enjoy the chilly workouts!
We have been working on improving hit feedback for this build. Together with last week's hook and uppercut punch response changes, we hope this improves your workout experience. Here's how the hit feedback works
- Stronger hits are rewarded a bigger score
- A score popup lets you know the score for the hit (between 10 to 50). The multiplier is applied to this score for the final score on the Scoreboard
- The score popup is color coded : Green for strong punches, Blue for medium strength punches, and Yellow for a simple hit. (Note that the explosion particles have been reacting to punch strength for a while now)
We have also put in fixes for the calorie count and workout stat bugs and several other bug fixes and improvements.
Thank you for using BOXVR and sharing your amazing stories with us. We are constantly inspired by your feedback and comments and look forward to more.
Wish you a very happy holiday season!

The team at FITAR is proud to announce our biggest update till date that includes some of your key feedback and input
Training Mode - It's finally here! You can select MP3 and WAV files from your PC and train in 3 difficulty levels.

If you encounter any issues please report it in the Training Mode Issues thread
