You're an athlete who wants to get under the 10 seconds barrier in a 100m race. Can you ?
To accelerate, press your keyboard keys while your character is running over the corresponding letter on the stadium track. But don't miss if you don't want to slow down !
The difficulty and the speed increase after every race you win !
You can play with friend in network (prefer local) or solo ! Instructions in "readme.txt" file.

This was my first LD48, I'm happy I've a result =)

Game made in C++ with SFML 2.0 Gimp for graphcs sfxr for sounds autotracker and audacity for music
I happened to be watching Futurama when I finished and saw the names of the other people. Also, I did the C++/SMFL route as well (though not with as good results). Good job.
Thanks for the feedback =) Yeah, when I needed some names Futurama was the first thing I could think about so... :D I haven't teste your game yet, I'm gonna do that this evening ! Side note for anyone : local networking works fine, global (internet) one still has some bugs, sometimes.
A very fun, if slightly repetitive game. The difficulty increased quickly from easy to challenging, and it is a good test of reaction times and typing ability. Very well done!
This is pretty awesome! I like how the difficulty scales. One thing I would change if I could is the visibility of the letters you need to type, it's a little hard to see when the screen gets faster with the stars popping out.
South, stars were intended to hide letters a little, but indeed when the game gets faster it's much more harder to see them. Well, it adds a layer of difficulty does't it :p ?
I thank all of you for your feedback, it's very appreciated !
Cute racing game. Wasn't able to try out LAN mode, but I had fun. Back in elementary school, I would have preferred competing against my classmates with this, instead of doing that "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" stuff.
Good exposition of game, I love mashing buttons games and you have risked in make a LAN and Online mode... althougt its difficult to see more than 2 people here playing in the same moment at one moment, you have scored high.
I think the most important thing in a "track & field" game its to preserve score and names, so that you can beat yourself or a pal´s mark in future. If you add that possibility to your game, game could improve enough.
10 second theme also its not too much implicated here, but good entry.
@gritfish : there is no permanent server, you need a friend. The LAN works fine, but there's still glitches with internet mode. Thanks anyway =) @senseidav : Yeah the score thing is missing. I could have added an online top scores ! I think 10 seconds is implicated becausethe whole game is ispired from 10 sec barrier, I didn't wanted to do levels that you have to do in less than 10 seconds because I knew everyone would do that.
Quite fun, I would maybe decrease the distance between letters, letters could be unreadable on bad notebook displays like this. Couldn't finish hard :D
The gameplay may be fairly simple, but it's very well put-together. I didn't get a chance to play this over a LAN, but I could see it being a pretty good short party-type game (esp. if you add more players).

Great game though!

The 10 second barrier doesn't seem to matter, I've run below.
