Lifting Hero

Every rep counts. Especially when you’re curling… a loaf of bread?

Lifting Hero is one of those games that answers the question, “What if an idle clicker had biceps?” You start out as a scrawny dude with arms like overcooked spaghetti and a gait that screams “I skipped leg day for years.” But the second you start lifting that baby dumbbell, something magical (and totally unscientific) happens. You sell the muscle mass you’ve gained, reinvest that money into heavier weights, and repeat. It’s capitalism meets gains, and the grind has never been more shredded.

Developed by Rollic Games, Lifting Hero leans all the way into its ridiculous premise. At first, it’s all baby weights and modest pecs. But a few clicks later, you’re hauling refrigerators, lifting vending machines, and eventually hoisting buildings like some protein-powered demigod. The fun isn’t just in watching your avatar morph into a polygonal powerhouse, it’s in how hilariously fast things escalate.

Muscles aren’t just for show either. As you get buffer, you unlock increasingly silly side activities. One moment you’re doing reps, the next you’re racing grocery carts full of anvils against other hulking contenders. It’s part fitness fantasy, part fever dream.

Sure, the game’s logic is about as sound as a gym bro’s protein-only diet, but that’s part of the charm. Lifting Hero doesn’t want to simulate strength, it wants to celebrate the absurd joy of becoming comically swole, one lift at a time.

So go ahead. Click. Lift. Sell your quads. Buy a sofa to curl. You’re not here to sweat, you’re here to ascend.
