I never thought I would make a new Flash-game in 2024 but here it is. My first Olympic themed game in 12 years. That said, it's a prototype rather than a fully finished game. The input code is horrendously complex and I haven't had the time to find the perfect balance between depth and playability. But I intend to work out a fully fleshed game with rounds where you race more or less weird competitors so that the game also fully lives up to its name.

UPDATE: Unfortunately input lags quite badly when I test with Ruffle. I have tried to lower the frame rate, but it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps it will work on fast computers, but others may be out of luck. Running should be hard, but not quite QWOP-like hard! Sorry, this is definitely work in progress.

UPDATE 2: Removed the filter based swoosh-line effect behind the player runner and performance clearly improved, but it is still too hard to run with proper form.

UPDATE 3: I have tried to adjust running sim parameters to alleviate control difficulties but the system is very complex so I have probably just messed it up even more ... Ignore the harsh judgement after the race. If you are able to finish the race, you are doing good and if you don't finish last, you are doing very well. That said, it is still possible to medal, but it is very hard even for me.

UPDATE 4: Tried touch screen for the very first time and it works well despite not getting any attention during development. Perhaps preferable to mouse control.
