The most highly anticipated uber-realistic simulation game this year. Praised for it's groundbreaking graphics, immersive gameplay and beautiful storytelling it truly is a game to be remembered'\r\n\r\nQuote from a critic, 2013, er, ok it was me...\r\n\r\nLook, if you've ever wondered just exactly what it was like to BE Usain Bolt the day of the 100m finals in Beijing, his preparations, his journey, and most importantly, his running, then your completely mental, but I have the game for you!\r\n\r\nControls are either in game or self-explanatory; 10 levels to be completed in, yes you guessed it, 10 seconds or less (The Usain Bolt lifestyle), 100 seconds of gameplay programmed by a lazy developer with no artistic talent.\r\n\r\nEnjoy.\r\n\r\n(P.s. I've included the source code because why not, but it's ugly, this is a textbook definition of a game that's been thrown together, and is the pinnacle of inefficiency, so don't take anything away from it...)\r\n\r\n(P.p.s. I don't know how well the game will run, and I haven't been able to test it on Mac\/Linux, it's Libgdx Java so it should run just fine, but just a word of warning)\r\n\r\n**Updates**\r\n0.1: Level 3 Updated to be more clear about how brushing teeth mechanic works\r\n\r\n0.2: Level 5 Updates to be more clear about how the controller works and the crosshair moves slightly quicker as many people find it way too difficult.","title":"Usain Bolt Simulator 2013"}
