Hidden Gem

Found this by mistake, but a great find. Controls are perfect and presentation is amazing!

Mr

Great retro game, nice graphics in view of reviving an old game. Multiplyer is missing which makes it boring.

Good Game. Takes Time To Learn.

This game is really fun to play. The controls take a little while to get used to but are very easy once you figure it out. Youll become addicted to this game trying to level up your player (Stamina is the most needed). I dont have any negative reviews for this app, its really fun. I recommend this app!

Great game

All in all it is a great game, the graphics are great the ease of understanding the game is great, this is one of the best games I have seen yet.

Pretty fun!

I like the retro graphics and sound effects. The online leaderboards are a nice touch too! Many of the events are legitimately challenging. A couple of things to improve: 1: increase the text size. Its way too small. 2: make it easier to chance the height of the bar in the high jump and pole vault events. Having to click the button hundreds of times to change the height is no fun. Overall though, this is an enjoyable game.

Be part of the Olympics!

What a perfect time for a fun game like Decathlon! This is a very stylized game that features retro graphics, reminiscent of track & field games for the NES. There are ten mini games where the player competes with the computer and ultimately tries to beat the top score. There are lots of fun stats and leader boards that keep you coming back for more. My favorite parts of the game are the pixelated animations and retro sound effects. The title screen icons are very slick, however some of the text seems a little too small to read. Also, the menu screenshots of people edited to look pixelated. This seems a little lazy and does not look as good as the custom in-game pixel graphics. There is also a neat leveling up system and a practice mode. This is a challenging application that will take some time to master.

Perfect game to play during Olympics

This is a really fun game, where simple controls meet fun gameplay. Each of the ten events have similar controls but rely on different timing mechanisms. Must events will have you sliding your finger back and forth across two feet to build up speed, then trace a pattern to calculate your accuracy. Its extremely fun, leaving you always wanting to up your score. Everyone will have their own favorite event and ones they are bad at. I personally could play javelin over and over to keep improving. But I cant quite get my long jump score to be better than mediocre. The graphics and animation are well done. It takes me back to playing the Olympics games on sega genesis as a kid. Its simple but gets the job done. One awesome feature is the leader boards. No matter how great or how poor you do, you will always see how you stack up against the world records. The coolest part of the game is that your character improves the more you play. You may master the controls early on, but you will need to keep playing if you want to improve your characters ability and compete for high scores. I like this game a lot. I hope the developer makes another app that includes other events done with similar controls. Swimming would work really well, but other events that rely on timing could as well (gymnastics, trampoline, archery, etc.) If youve gotten into the spirit of the games, give this app a shot.

Awesome

I love this game! I play it for sooooo long! Its so challenging I wouldnt change a thing! The mechanics are awesome the graphic engine is cool and gives a vintage feel and I love that! Its an all around awesome game!

Realistic!!!

Very realistic game! Very intense and timing is really important! Great app if your bored and are into sports!

Good game! You need to be fast :)

Like it! The graphic is like the old style Nintendo game. The game is about good timing. Fun!

Great!

Great game! Fun concept and design!

Good

Its pretty fun

Fun game

Reminds me of the old school Nintendo games

Okay

The games are fun. The problem is the running, I dont know if this is in the iPad but on the iPhone its a pain, special when theres more buttons to push so you dont have room. The graphics could be better and a difficulty choosing would be nice other then that its a pretty fun game.

olympics!

this game is perfect for the olympics right now. yea its coming to a close but its still really enjoyable. the retro graphics are really fun. What i also liked was that there was tons of game modes. Lots of events as well/ the only reason i gave this 4 stars and not 5 was because the controls are kind of complicated and it was hard for me to understand what to do. other than that, its a good game!

Love it !

Its almost like your actually competing in the Olympics. Great game!
