Here's what I think...
1. Fun factor is very very high... Everytime I play I have a blast with this game!
2. Graphics are "beautifully cute" lol.. Easy on the eyes and detail is nice and fun to look at ..a few more default avatar options would be nice though.
3.I completely love the online turn-based concept ...it's perfect and I prefer it over realtime...I mean this is a MOBILE game here..and ours life's are for the most part on the go... So having that "i need to beat that guy" match hanging in my phone or the back of the head is fun and something to look forward to.
4. Powerups are a blast and done well...IAP is only needed as extra moves or avatars , which are strictly cosmetic.
5. Only thing I want is more events! ... and people to play of course.

Anyone playin? Add me on gamecenter trev1

You guys are giving some of the first feedback outside the development team and QA, so it's great to hear you say you're enjoying it, especially when what you say resonates with what we think ourselves. Fun and ease of use were our main goals, and I hope we made it happen, and that you enjoy it as much as we do.

It's also great to hear your thoughts on the challenge mode, because that's why we did it that way.

having that "i need to beat that guy" match hanging in my phone or the back of the head is fun and something to look forward to.

Exactly our thought!

As for your concerns,

I agree that more free avatars would be a nice touch, but as you know two is exactly twice what you often get, and you still have three aditional models to look forward to if you work hard on it (or if you're willing to part with just a couple of bucks).

The issue with the number of users in challenge mode is probably due to your using a promo code, since Apple has recently changed its politics regarding those. Do you see other players in the leaderboards? Have you been able to finish any challenge match at all? We'll keep an eye on this.

As for wanting more events, I have great news for you: the new update is already submitted to Apple and it's a matter of days before it is up on the App Store. But this is major news (for us, anyway), so I'll leave the details for a new post.

Juan out.



We still have a bunch of promo codes to redeem "Track & Tricks" for free. All we're asking is that you share your experience in the forums afterwards.

Just let me know via private or email (jmejias at nebula-ent.com).

Bad news? There are only two events: 100m and 400m. That these two alone kept me playing for the best part of a half hour or so, is testament to the game's promise. With 8 - 12 or so events in total, this could be easily the best game of its kind on the platform. For now though, there's no getting around the fact that it feels more like a highly promising demo, and shouldn't really be trying to pass for a compete game.

So the Olympics are over, but that's no reason to give up your hopes for a medal!!

Let me continue telling you about our outcoming update, which we are really excited about. One great addition we are including is a really great 'Jetpack Joyride'-style mission system that I think gives a real boost to the single player experience.



The update is already uploaded and should be available in a few days. Watch this space!!

Hello Guys, I have just tried the game and it is pretty awesome overall.

For one, I think this game will delight those who love track and field and have personal experience with it. This game really has the format that of the olympics: Heats->Semis->Finals and if you lose in any of that u have to restart all over. Many other athletics game apps you guys find on the appstore will probably have a single round only, thus i really appreciate the effort put in in this area.

In addition, as a school sprinter myself i know the importance of relaxing through a sprint. Tensing up mid race will only slow you down. The way this game implemented its gameplay (where it is rhythmic) requires you to follow the rhythm even when your opponents are just right in front of you and resist the temptation to mash the touchscreen (which will definitely lead to a loss haha).

The in game graphics are pretty good overall though I feel personally that the app logo design can be improved more...for my first impression I actually thought that it was another mediocre app. Expressions could be probably be adjusted as well if possible. Sometimes I feel that the avatars give me the feeling that they are zombies:X

Lastly, an area to improve will definitely be the number of events. (Mind you guys, you will hardly find any athletic game apps including a 400m). I am glad to hear that there will be more events in the next update!

[Juan@Nebula]

Iciclepro,

Yes, next update is already in review process and should be available in just a few days.

It will include additional events: 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles, plus a 'multi' tournament mode that will put you up against a series of random events.

It will also include a great mission system that will make all the difference in single player mode.

[Juan@Nebula]
