About

Spud Sprint

Read full description

Become the ultimate Spud Sprinter! Race versus your friends and win by being the fastest to the finish line, while not "dropping" the potato on your screen. Show off your rating, or prove yourself by beating your own personal highscore. This game will use GPS to track your distance moved, so you will have to play this outside, and actually physically move! It also relies on accelerometer data to make the potato move on your screen. This makes for a great competitive party game for a group of friends or relatives. The maximum limit of players for each game is 6, so you can make a tournament-styled competition if in larger groups. While playing, you should keep your phone firmly in your hand as you would when using e.g. Maps, and keep it leveled. Keep in mind that you will incur a time penalty of 3 seconds if you drop the potato! ***With the current score system balancing is very important. This will be reworked to make it more fair with the next update!
