How hard can you punch? Your iPhone is the machine

Punch King turns your iPhone into an arcade punch machine. Hold your phone, throw a real punch in the air, and the accelerometer converts your peak force into a score from 0 to 999. Neon lights, haptics, sound and a dramatic slot-machine reveal make every hit feel like the real coin-op. Climb 7 funny tiers from CHICKEN to LEGEND, compete on the global leaderboard with an arcade nickname, and share your score card to challenge friends. How hard can you punch?
Does it actually measure the punch force accurately or mostly just the speed/snap of the motion since phone accelerometers can be pretty inconsistent?
Curious how consistent the accelerometer readings actually are. Does it matter whether I hold the phone loose vs grip tight, or do you calibrate for different grip styles so the score stays fair?
Tried a few swings and the haptic punch on impact actually fooled my hand for a second, felt way more satisfying than I expected. The CHICKEN to LEGEND tiers are a nice touch, though I am clearly stuck in the lower ranks.
The tier names from CHICKEN to LEGEND are a really clever touch, perfect mix of humor and motivation. Love that it keeps the arcade vibe without feeling gimmicky.
