Competitive bumbling now available in two-player QWOP

Yes, it's true. You can share the experience of not being able to walk at all with a friend or bitter rival, in a new two-player version of Bennett Foddy's footrace to the bottom, QWOP. Following last Sunday's showing at Juegos Rancheros, Foddy has released the competitive browser game online.

The game suggests a second keyboard "for best results," but both players can actually share a single keyboard. This is a much more awkward situation, and thus seems more appropriate.

I once won a game of Q3A with the Dreamcast's Samba Maracas. Someone needs to jury-rig those bad boys to USB, and quick.

The only game on the planet to make MechWarrior 2 controls appear simple:

Well, I think the controls are simple, but nobody knows what the heck they do.

Has anyone had success with this? Falling on your face is funny but I'd like to move more than one step before I do it.

@vidguy

If you practice long enough, you can actually make it pretty far. Of course, the bizarre motions I usually make don't really resemble running. More like a drunk cripple trying to walk across a frozen pond.

@vidguy The fun of the game is figuring that out. Otherwise you just have a game where you walk a short distance.

@vidguy

i think the best i ever did was a dozen or so legitimate strides before i screwed up and and flopped on my back. not only is it hard to find the right combo and rhythm, it's hard to keep it going.

@maveric101

Oh, the number of times that statement has been true.....

@vidguy

I beat it once, but only by walking on my knees the whole way. The goddamn hurdle halfway almost stopped me but I humped it along for 20 meters until I was able to maneuver myself over it.

@TheyDidItFirst

u didnt beat shit!

This game makes me angry enough as it is.. why do I need another person raging beside me??

the race is only 10m long.

we,qr,we,qr,we,.....................................

Link please?
