Game Overview

Summer Challenge is the follow-up to Winter Challenge, and honestly, it’s just as chaotic in the best way possible. You’ve got eight summer sports to tackle, and some of them are way harder than they look. The kayaking event feels like you’re fighting the current more than racing—miss a gate or scrape the bank, and your time takes a hit. Archery? Good luck with that jittery crosshair; lining up a shot feels like trying to thread a needle while jogging.

The track events are where things get messy. The 400m hurdles will humble you fast—mistime a jump, and you’ll either stumble or faceplant entirely. High jump and pole vault are all about rhythm: mash for speed, then nail the timing on the leap. Mess up, and your athlete flops like a ragdoll. Equestrian is the real nightmare, though. One wrong button press, and your horse just… stops. No second chances.

Javelin’s straightforward but weirdly satisfying when you nail the angle, and cycling’s all about hugging the inside lane without wiping out. The graphics are classic early '90s polygonal jank, but it’s got charm—especially when you save replays of your most spectacular fails. You can play solo, train, or go full tournament mode with up to ten players (if you’ve got that many friends willing to suffer through this). It’s a weird, clunky, oddly addictive time capsule of early sports games.
