Speed Stars
Speed Stars is a minimalist yet addictive sprinting simulator that puts your reflexes to the ultimate test. Inspired by real track-and-field racing mechanics, this game focuses entirely on short-distance sprints — think 40m dashes and 100m showdowns — where every millisecond counts. The goal is simple but challenging: master the timing of your steps and accelerate to the finish line faster than your rivals. The game blends simplicity with depth, offering a rewarding experience for casual players and speed-obsessed competitors alike.
