GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Entering the track, you will see the athlete automatically accelerate and charge forward. Your sole and most important task is to perform perfect hurdle jumps. Specifically, you will perform a left mouse click to command the character to jump. However, behind that simplicity lies an extremely strict physical scoring system. It is based on the distance between the character and the barrier at the moment of takeoff. The game divides jump quality into three main levels: perfect, great, and food. When you click at the ideal distance, the character performs a perfect jump. Conversely, if you jump too early or too late, the athlete will trip over the barrier. This physical collision immediately reduces the character's running speed drastically. So, opponents easily accelerate and overtake you in the blink of an eye.
