About Athletics Hero
Three events, one hero and a shiny gold medal waiting at the very end. Athletics Hero takes a proper retro arcade approach to track and field, with sprinting, javelin throwing and the triple jump to master.
Prompts appear on screen and you match them to keep your athlete moving at full speed. For throws and jumps you hold and release once the power meter peaks, and pushing too hard backfires. You can tap, click, use cursor keys or WASD, so it works on both phones and keyboards in the browser.

Tips for Athletics Hero
- Read the prompt as it appears and respond once, rather than pressing early.
- Release the power bar at its peak, because a full overshoot wastes the throw.
