QWOP

QWOP
QWOP is a 2008 ragdoll-based Flash game created by former Cut Copy bassist Bennett Foddy. Players control an athlete named "Qwop" using only the Q, W, O and P keys (In the multiplayer version, player 1 uses the Q,W,E, and R keys and player 2 makes do with the U, I, O, and P keys). A couple of years after the game was released on the internet, the game became an internet meme after its outbreak in December 2010. Despite criticisms for its difficulty due to the controls, the game helped Foddy's site (Foddy.net) reach 30 million hits. [3]

Gameplay
Players play as an athlete named "Qwop", who is participating in a 100-meter sprint event at the Olympic Games. Using only the Q, W, O and P keys, players must control the movement of the legs to make the character move forward.[4] The Q and W keys each drive one of the runner's thighs, while the O and P keys work the runner's calves. The best way to win at this game is to practice the most widely used strategy, to use the w & o keys and then use the q & p keys alternatively[5].

The control scheme is widely regarded as incredibly awkward, and as a result players will typically start the game by making the runner flail about and fall to the ground. Only through practise and a sense of rhythm will the player be able to balance the runner and sustain a stride. When the player has successfully reached 50 meters they must jump a hurdle, and at 100 meters the player is encouraged to perform a long jump, although simply passing the finish line is sufficient to complete the game.[6]
