People want active screen time but lack space for real sports. Build games where phone swings translate to in-game actions (e.g., swinging to hit a ball). Monetize via ads or premium modes. Start with one sport and local multiplayer. The risk is motion controls feeling gimmicky over time.
Phone motion sports games

Why now
Physical motion games gained traction during lockdowns, but few leverage phones for real-time multiplayer.
