QWOP" is a difficult online game that requires plenty of time and patience to master. In his review for Mercyhurst College, Charlie Wheaton calls the free game "unspeakably hard and frustrating." The goal of "QWOP" is simple: Use the Q, W, O and P keys to make the sprinter run 100 meters. The difficulty comes from the game's very touchy physics mechanics, in which even the slightest mistake makes you fall down. If you fall, it's back to the starting line to try again.
Instructions
1. Tap "O" to pull your left foot back slightly. As soon as the sprinter is leaning forward, press "O" and "Q" together to lift both his right calf and right thigh.
2. Press "P" and "W" simultaneously to lift his left leg for the next step. Press them just before or as he lands to stay upright, depending on your angle.
3. As the sprinter is leaning forward and finishing his second step, press "P" and "Q" again to raise his right leg for the next step. If he falls, press the space bar to start over.
4. Practice until you've got the timing down. Once you know the timing and understand the game's physics, it becomes much easier.
