QWOP

by Bennett Foddy

The famously awkward running game: move an Olympic sprinter one thigh and calf at a time

QWOP puts you in charge of a sprinter at the Olympic Games, but instead of a run button you control each thigh and calf separately with the Q, W, O and P keys. Simply staying upright is an achievement, and reaching the 100-metre line is a badge of honour. It became a classic precisely because it is so hard.
