Summer Games

Free

Track and field against seven rivals: the 100 metres, the long jump and the javelin. Tap left and right in turn as fast as you can to sprint — and wait for the gun, because two false starts and you're out. On the runway, hold the button to set your angle and let go before the board or the foul line. Three attempts at each field event, points for every mark, and medals for the best.

Controls: Tap Left and Right (or A and D, Z and X) in turn to run. Space (or Up) to jump or throw: hold it to raise the angle and let go — about 22° for the long jump, 36° for the javelin. On a phone: tap ◀ and ▶ in turn, hold and release JUMP / THROW.

How to play Summer Games

Summer Games is a track and field game with three events: the 100 metres, the long jump and the javelin. You compete against seven rivals, earn points for every mark, and win a medal in each event and overall.

Controls: Tap Left and Right (or A and D, Z and X) in turn to run. Space (or Up) to jump or throw: hold it to raise the angle and let go — about 22° for the long jump, 36° for the javelin. On a phone: tap ◀ and ▶ in turn, hold and release JUMP / THROW.

Tips

  • Speed comes from tapping left and right in turn. Pressing the same key twice does nothing, so keep a steady rhythm.
  • In the 100 metres, wait for the gun. One false start is a warning; a second one disqualifies you from the race.
  • In the long jump, press and hold the button a few metres before the board. You keep running while the angle rises, so let go before you cross it.
  • Aim for about 22 degrees in the long jump and about 36 degrees with the javelin. The angle turns green when it is close.
  • Your best of three attempts counts in the field events, so play it safe on the first one and push on the next two.
