Athletics is a track and field game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. You can play just a regular 200m run. . .or you can go through the more advanced tracks(200m hurdles and 400m hurdles).
You tap the left part of the screen(over and over) to run. The faster you tap the faster you run. Tapping the right side of the screen makes the runner jump(for the hurdles).
I am right handed, so it was hard to tap fast enough with my left thumb to go as fast as the other runners. This would cause me to also jump with my right hand. So I held the iPhone with my left hand, and used my right to tap the screen.
It was fun while it lasted. . .but just not very challenging. They do let you submit your high score to their online leaderboard which is cool. . .but for the price I think online multiplayer would help make it worth it.
The developers say a free version is coming soon. . .which I think a free version with ads will increase this applications’ popularity.
