About

Theoretically I made this for PlayJam2, though I'm hitting the theme a little tenuously here - I'd already been pondering what a Playdate take on something like Track and Field would be, and this was a good opportunity to low-stakes, low-commitment spitball out a few ideas. The game is completely unbalanced and generally way too easy, apart from the hammer throw event, which is way too hard. It was a Gamejam game, so expect bugs, and also a lot of sound effects and audio queues I didn't get around to putting in. Well, I guess you should not expect the later of those, since they're not there, but you know what I mean.

Even though on my first go I didn't place first overall, it was a lot of fun going through all the mini games. I really sucked at the one you shoot buckets. :P

Thanks!

To be fair, the bucket game is a little broken to be honest, but it was a Gamejam project and I kind of ran out of time to fiddle with the controls and the collision detection on that a little more.
