POSU!

POSU! is a fast-paced body-tracking browser game where you use your physical movement in front of the webcam to play.

Just step in front of your camera, watch the screen, and use your hands to activate targets!
To improve pose tracking most of the upper body should be visible and your room should be well lit.

----------------------
TWO GAME MODES!
----------------------

• Normal Mode:
  Short and fast rounds! Try to hit as many targets as possible and score as many points as possible!
  A lot of settings with unique leaderboards for each setting combination!
  Note: Some optional settings activate pose targets that might not work perfectly.

• Roguelike Mode:
  Longer and intense runs! Try to survive as long as possible. Shops with tons of items (51 unique items) and modifier rounds that make surviving a lot harder!

----------------------
LEADERBOARDS!
----------------------

Entering a username in the menu before starting a round
allows you to compete for a spot in the top 100 in both
local and global leaderboards!
There's a separate local and global leaderboard for the Roguelike Mode, as well as a unique local and global leaderboard for every single setting combination in the Normal Mode.

• Local Leaderboards:
  The top 100 scores in each mode are stored locally inside your browser!
  You can export and import local leaderboard saves. Remember to export the local leaderboard if you do not want to lose scores! (Local scores might, for instance, be lost by clearing your browser cache or when browsing in incognito mode)

• Global Leaderboards:
  The top 100 worldwide scores in each mode are also stored online! The game automatically transmits and fetches worldwide high scores for every single setting combination.

The developer reserves the right to manually monitor, review, and permanently delete any leaderboard entry containing names that are deemed offensive, hateful, defamatory, politically inappropriate, or explicitly bypass the automated profanity filters. Please keep usernames clean and respectful.

----------------------
CUSTOMIZATION!
----------------------

Customize your skin by picking a color and by painting a custom face.
To paint, click on "New Face" or "Edit" and wait for the tracking model to initialize.
Please note that this might take a few seconds to load.

Save your painted faces and remember to export them regularly if you do not want to lose them. (Faces might, for instance, be lost by clearing your browser cache or when browsing in incognito mode).

AI ASSISTANCE NOTICE!
----------------------

For full transparency: Google Gemini (used without an account) was used strictly as a technical search tool and debugging assistant to help resolve code errors and optimize scripts. No gameplay concepts, art, or design assets were generated by AI. The entire project architecture was designed, structured, and programmed manually.

Processing of the input data (images/video) takes place entirely on-device, and MediaPipe does not send that input data to Google servers.
No video or image data is ever saved or leaves your device.

the software or the use of it. 

----------------------
IN-GAME CONSENT NOTICE:
----------------------

When you launch the game in your browser, a startup screen will ask for your explicit consent before any tracking begins and the browser requests camera access.
Anyone under the digital age of consent in their country or region should have a parent or guardian supervise their session and camera authorization.
