Sport doesn't have to be serious

Enviro-Bear 2010 creator Justin Smith releases the frankly wacky Realistic Summer Sports Simulator for iPhone and iPad

Indie developer Justin Smith made a lasting impression with Enviro-Bear 2010, a zany driving game that prioritised flat-out weirdness and rotting fish over convincing handling.

Realistic Summer Sports Simulator is his latest iOS offering, and - surprise, surprise - it's an equally outrageous interpretation of the sober-headed world of competitive sport.

As you can tell from the trailer below, Realistic Summer Sports Simulator recalls the look of Spectrum-era sports compilations like Daley Thompson's Supertest.

It's all your vault

You propel the blocky athlete through events like swimming, powerlifting, and pole vaulting by dragging him in the desired direction.

If you thought that Enviro-Bear 2010 was an accurate portrayal of wild mammalian-hunting techniques, then this is probably how you imagine the Commonwealth Games plays out.

Realistic Summer Sports Simulator is a Universal app, and can be purchased from the App Store for 69p / 99c.
