Story: Toris Laurinaitis wants to get fit. But all around him are delicious yet evil French Fries trying to get him off track and make him pig out instead of exercising. With the help of his coach and the player, can Toris beat the temptations of the Fries, eat healthy and reach his goal of ultimate (or even mediocre) fitness?

Objective (Out of Game): The objective of the game is to help get people motivated and to make them think about starting to exercise. It has helpful tips from the “Coach” character about exercising and getting started.

Health Lesson: The lesson being taught in this game is “Exercise but do it right.” People should know how to exercise. Most people think you should just jump into this really big exercise regiment when in reality you can just start off slow. 

Audience: The intended audience for the game is everyone. Everyone should exercise if they feel like they need to. The problem in my opinion is feeling intimidated by exercising. They don’t want to because it looks like it’s going to be a lot of work, which seems hard. But if you ease into it, it gets easier and easier until you’re the one looking intimidating with your “super hard” regiment.

Objective (In Game): The objective of the game is to collect all the apples, avoid the bad foods, and get to the goal before the timer runs out.
