TRACKBORN: Athletics Games

Porto Vela, summer 1984. At dawn, on the seafront, a boy nobody knows is running. His name is Leo Marini, he's seventeen and his talent is raw. His father was the best decathlete in the country until an injury ended his career. Since then, nobody at home talks about athletics.

TRACKBORN is an arcade athletics game in pixel art, with the spirit of 1980s arcades: fast taps, perfect timing, records to beat. On top of that it has a real career, a story to live and worldwide leaderboards.
