Nice implementation of the theme, definitely hit that arcade-y feel. Many of the events felt a little samey since it was just trying to quickly see which button to press, but the disc toss and archery added some nice variety. The Javelin throw was a fun idea too with the balloon popping. Swimming is a easy gold, seems like there should have some different tuning. I do however appreciate that this wasn’t a button mashing game, my wrists can only take so much! Also a fun idea to have circuits unlocked as you go.

Edit: one nit though was that it felt a bit out of the experience that only some of the menu navigation worked through key presses, had to do some mouse clicks. Especially between each round, just being able to press enter would have helped it feel snappy to get to the next round within one game.

Tons of great stuff here!  Great look and sound, nice use of pressing the right button over button mashing, etc...  Only thing I wish is that there was a way to access all the events from the start since the pace got a little slow.  Great job!

That's a lot of content for such a short time! Like, 7+ events and an entire character customizer?! Great job on that. And the retro vibe from the original game is definitely there. Very solid entry!

Damn good well done on capturing the classic and bringing a bit of extra fun :)

So dang complete. Lots of polish. Gives me really cool retro vibes. This legit feels like an early PC game. A strong contender for this round.

It’s amazing how many different track and field events you included. The controls and customisation was great, although three rounds per event might have been a bit high in my opinion if someone wanted the time to see everything. Popping the balloons with the javelin was my favourite, that was really cool

I think I found one bug, if you click on continue before the results show up you do not get the medal you won.

You added a lot of events in your game, impressive. This feels like a track & field game

A lot of events in this one with a good variety. I'm loving the shaders as well. It was fun.

I really like the customization the the polish put into the game. A global leaderboard would have made it a bit more competitive but oh well. The variety of events is very impressive and I like how you have to unlock them as you play. I wish the bots were balanced a bit better though, as they seemed to be either really bad or absolutely cracked at the different events. One of the AI opponents broke once and scored 0 for every round in an event but otherwise I didn't encounter any bugs. Very impressive under the time limit!

So cool that you can even see the "rgb leds" on the screen! this definitely feels like an arcade!

Impressive customization and UI in general. You did a great job on how the game feels!

Also a lot of events! Really impressive work for just two weeks!!!
