Reception

Allgame editor Skyler Miller described the game as an "overlooked gem (that) is definitely worth seeking out"[2] and that the game "does an excellent job of recreating the total experience of Olympic competition".[3]

gollark: That is a short number, so it's fine.

gollark: Great!

gollark: There can't be *that* many.

gollark: Ugh, I might just iterate over all possible sequences of characters of that length.
