As a world-class athlete, you yearn to compete in an extremely exclusive track and field event, but to enter, it'll cost you... Two of your limbs, specifically. But at least you get to choose which ones.

Features: - Participate in three events: sprint, discus, and high jump! - One song! No sound effects! - Developer "art" and "animation"!

Tools used: - GameMaker Studio 1.4 - paint.net - Pyxel Edit - Reason

Fonts: - Kenney Mini by Kenney: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/kenney-fonts - Josefin Sans by Santiago Orozco: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Josefin+Sans

(Sorry for small screenshots, the itch.io page looks a bit better. Such is life in a jam with limited time...)

Best title and hilarious premise. Impressed by my discus abilities, considering I played without arms.

Thanks for playing! I was thinking about some kind of explanation for being able to throw the discus with no arms, but I figured I'd leave it up to the player's imagination (not to mention I ran out of time to animate anything for that one...).

Tried the three "payment method" : I hope you laughed while making the game at least as much as me while playing it :laughing:
As @entirelybees said : "hilarious". Not to mention that I love the music too. Well done!

This was really funny. The music was perfect. I also like how the three events play a little differently from one another, even though only the spacebar is needed.

Gave Humor a 5 simply because it said high five when I had no arms. I am a armless main. Really enjoy this game, be nice if there was a personal best saved to compare

Hilarious concept, with fitting music as well! You definitely nailed the humour compartment of this game!

Very creative implementation of three different minigames with simple and distinct controls. I thought the music, graphics, and humor all fit together really well! I also felt compelled to try all three different modes. Maybe some way of comparing your results or tracking your high scores overall would be a fun way to motivate repeated play-throughs. "Ba, da da, duh da da" is now stuck in my head.

Nice little entry!

Fun, the different options means you really should play through at least 3 times. Not surprisingly I did better at the high jump when I had legs.

So silly and good fun.

As simple as it is, I love this one.

2 gripes:

1) If this game had a tad more animation, I think it would be so much stronger.

2) I think the Instructions for each event should show before each event. (On your first time playing)

And yes I know they're at the main menu :stuck_out_tongue:
Nice work!!
