The game idea is funny :) You got so many events, thats really cool to see. Some were not as good as others, but that happens when you have 8 gamemodes. I love the music, it fits the game so well. Overall great Job, that should get you to the next round :D

That's a lot of events, and with a pretty cool twist. I had fun playing through them.
Only one I got a little confused/stumped on was the skateboard one, it wasn't immediately as clear to me as the other events.

Fun idea to twist things around. The controls felt a little funny, like shift to leave a game was a bit unexpected. I also feel a little more UI leading at the end of a round could help a lot, it was a bit jarring to just suddenly be popped to the end (and for those that you restart if you lose, that it’s an instant restart with no setup first). Still, nice work getting a variety of events in place.

Dude this was rad.  I liked the chaotic style and the twist on the original.  Great entry!

So many events! Five stars in that for me, and the game thus has a lot of play time. Creative twist on the mechanics.

Really cool twist on the original game, and it's incredibly fun!

The amount of events is impressive, I think that my favorite one is the fly wings - the controls there are really smooth. The controls in general are pretty intuitive, I only struggled on the skateboarding event (btw, what's that red area even supposed to represent?).

My small feedback is that I should be able to shoot while only holding the button and not have to press it every time. Also, the blue guys are pretty hard to distinguish from the white ones, red guys are better with that. But I understand that maybe it's intentional, to make it more difficult.

Overall, some stuff could be improved, but it's still a great entry and I had a lot of fun. Great job!

This is a super creative concept and trying to sabotage specific athletes is a nice twist on the original track & field game. I also like how the colour scheme of white and blue avoids unnecessary racial bias. The variety of events is fantastic with each one feeling unique, it’s difficult to choose my favourite one, they’re all great fun, although I do think the skateboarding could be improved further as I couldn’t get the timing quite right on it. Perhaps being able to control a rising water level or some other means of knocking him off could be a different way to challenge someone. Nevertheless, it’s a great addition to an already impressive amount of mini games and overall, it’s an incredibly strong entry

Loved the whole random vibe with the hand drawn icons hehe. Sick music selection, matches well

Nice reversal of the idea, and great selection of events! The one with the shooting and the skating one kept being weird in fullscreen for me, might need a new laptop.

I liked how you let us play as the someone messing with the events instead of playing the events themselves and you had a good variety of events.

Submitted

I really like the concept behind it! Some games felt a bit samey, like high jump and long jump having virtually the same mechanics. The skateboard one felt a little unfair and didn't really go with the rest of the game (it felt more like you were playing the skateboarder). The cooldown for the climb one made it impossible sometimes, I really don't think it needed a cooldown as you already had to not hurt the blue ones.

A lot of events and very fun to play, great job!

the climb one i thought was to easy so i added a cooldown(bad choice i guess) and skateboard was a last minute add so ig it didnt really fit it, thanks for the feedback

I like this idea of turning the game upside down and that you are playing basically against AI that is playing the game :D

Great work! very challenging at times, but feels great!
