Hurdles Heroes

Hurdles Heroes is a running game where you race in a tournament that takes you around the world. You can enter as one player or as two, and the goal is to finish first on each of the 7 continents.

The key mechanic is timing: you speed up by jumping the hurdles at the last moment. The description says to finish first in all of them to become the winner of the tournament. It doesn't list the controls, so check the instructions at the start for each runner.

It works well for friends who like quick sports games with a timing element. A tip is to learn the rhythm on the first track before pushing for the last-moment jumps on harder ones. Another running title is Sprinter Heroes.
