Speed Bag: Urban Gym Punches its
Way into the App Store
New Boxing Application Delivers
the Ultimate Combo of Training and Fun
The iTunes App Store has just
received a heavyweight addition to its roster of games, as Speed Bag: Urban Gym
is now available for download. Speed Bag: Urban Gym offers the most authentic
boxing experience found on the iPhone/iPod touch. Whether you are new to the
ring or a boxing professional, Speed Bag: Urban Gym simulates what it is like to
hit the bag wherever you go.
Developed with direct input from the
boxing community, Speed Bag: Urban Gym uses precise physics to put you to work
on a 3D speed bag. Players must effectively combine rhythm and timing to achieve
three-count combos. With multiple rounds that progressively add new challenges,
Speed Bag: Urban Gym will put your boxing prowess to the ultimate test.
“As an avid boxer myself, I wanted
to create an application that would be useful for boxers looking for another
option to train outside of the gym,” said Marc Polett of Manayunk Productions.
“With the help of Amadeus Consulting, Inc., I feel we have not only recreated
the exact feel and atmosphere associated with going up against a speed bag, but
have also created a fun game that will introduce new fans to the sport of
boxing.”
