You are Qwop, our small nation's sole representative at the Olympic games. Use the QWOP keys to move your legs. Ideally you will run 100 meters. But our training program was under-funded.

At this point, I’m going to assume that you have heard of QWOP, by which I mean that only seeing the letters Q, W, O, and P together induce in your mind images of a ragdoll flopping around on an orange ground while snatches of “Chariots of Fire” play only during the portions of flailing when you gain forward momentum. QWOP was Bennett Foddy’s game that debuted in 2008, and came into wide popularity sometime around 2010. Millions of internet users have played QWOP, if only for thirty seconds to become aggravated enough to move along to the next item in their “things I can do right now to avoid looking at another spreadsheet” pile. If the term “cult classic” applied similarly to internet flash games as it does to movies, QWOP would be somewhere along the lines of Airplane! or Bad Taste.

QWOP is the hardest game ever. The athlete plays an athlete named 'Qwop' and he is participating in the 100m Olympic. Players only need to use the Q, W, O and P keys to control the athlete's foot movement to move the character forward while avoiding falling.

If you’ve ever played QWOP, you surely must know this feeling of helplessness and humiliation when you’ve landed on your face for the 10th time and managed to move only 2 meters forward… Now you can share your pain with your friend, playing QWOP: 2 Players version. Just try to move as far as you can, using the keys specified below. Have fun!

Game Controls:
Player 1: Q, W – Move Thighs. E, R – Move Calves
Player 2: U, I – Move Thighs. O, P – Move Calves

Familiar Frantic Flopping

In the follow-up installment to Foddy’s frantically fruitful flash (enough with the alliterations, already) game, 2QWOP brings the frustration to two concurrent players. This is 2-player QWOP. Sometimes, failing horrifically is the kind of experience that is best shared with friends. 2QWOP gives you either the ability to: fail a little less than the person you are playing with and laugh a lot, or fail much harder than the person you are playing against and pretend to convince anyone else in the room that your particular brand of failure is actually a hard-practiced discipline that requires much more effort than simply winning.

The Game Environment

Well, QWOP veterans who play 2QWOP will immediately be familiar with the in-game environment. Instead of one set of horizontal lines, there are now two whole sets of horizontal lines- one for each player who wishes to ply his or her particular prowess in propelling their player (you’re doing it again…) across a hundred meters of giggles. The control scheme for two players should make the name of this installment “QWER and UIOP”, but basically nobody would get the name. Player 1, or top player, controls their thighs and calves with Q, R and E, R. Player two, or lower player, controls the thighs and calves of their character with U, P, I, and O (respectively). As it worked in the first game, each player’s outside keys control thighs, and inside keys control calves. The game is slightly different from the original QWOP in a couple ways, and in the interest of not giving away too much, you should just know that response times and muscle reactions seem to have been tweaked a bit. Also, instead of waiting approximately 3.78 years for a player to finish, the game has a tidy time limit and just tracks the high score among the two active players. The site encourages players to plug in an extra keyboard, but when two people play on one keyboard, they may have to actually share something and enjoy themselves with another person.

Why play 2QWOP Instead of Taking Turns on QWOP?

Few things are as fun as self-deprecation or public humiliation, provided that you aren’t the subject of either. Since QWOP mirrors approximately none of the skills that build a successful human in today’s society. Nobody is going to come from the rafters to chastise you for either being bad at QWOP or laughing at/with people who are bad at QWOP. It’s a safe area where you are free to laugh at and bask in the glow of a person’s ineptitude. 2QWOP is one place where Schadenfreude is not only accepted, but enhances the game. Nobody is a pro at this game (sorry, all five competitive QWOPpers out there that may be offended at that statement).

QWOP on

QWOP may have been raised by the same high tide that brought many items of interest from the internet into the public eye, but it is one of the things we’d like to see stick up here. In 2015, it seems that the only time you hear the phrase “good clean fun” is from a hipster’s VHS, and being able to fail miserably and not feel like that’s a bad thing is a rare gem. 2QWOP opens the possibility of sharing good, clean fun with your friends without having to look up the nose of a “culture connoisseur”.

Fail and laugh at yourself, or laugh at your friends failing. Hell, do well and be proud of it, if you can manage to become a QWOP master. The game premise and application is so far displaced from any kind of reality that you cannot take jibes from failure too hard, nor let praise of success make you immodest. It may be a difficult concept for some to fathom, but 2QWOP just fun.

QWOP (/kwɒp/) is a 2008 ragdoll-basedbrowservideo game created by Bennett Foddy, formerly the bassist of Cut Copy. Players control an athlete named 'Qwop' using only the Q, W, 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. The game helped Foddy's site (Foddy.net) reach 30 million hits.^[1]

Background[edit]

Bennett Foddy, QWOP's creator, at Fondation Brocher in October 2009

QWOP was originally created in November 2008 by Bennett Foddy for his site Foddy.net, when Foddy was a Deputy Director and Senior Research Fellow of the Programme on the Ethics of the New Biosciences, The Oxford Martin School, part of the University of Oxford.^[2]^[3] He taught himself to make games while he was procrastinating from finishing his dissertation in philosophy.^[4] Foddy had been playing games ever since he got his first computer (a ZX Spectrum 48K) at age 5.^[4] Foddy stated:

“One of the things I found with QWOP is that people like to set their own goals in a game. Some people would feel like winners if they ran 5 meters, and others would feel like winners if they inched all the way along the track over the course of an hour. If I had put a social leaderboard or par system in, those people would probably have all quit out of frustration, leaving only the most determined or masochistic players behind.'^[5]

Gameplay and reception[edit]

QWOP's title refers to the four keyboard keys used to move the muscles of the sprinter avatar

Players play as an athlete named 'Qwop', who is participating in a 100-meter event at the Olympic Games. Using only the Q, W, O and P keys, players must control the movement of the athlete's legs to make the character move forward while trying to avoid falling over.^[6] 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 Q key drives the runner's right thigh forward and left thigh backward, and the W key also affects the thighs and does the opposite. The O and P keys work in the same way as the Q and W keys, but with the runner's calves. The actual amount of movement of a joint is affected by the resistance due to forces from gravity and inertia placed upon it.

Though the objective of QWOP is simple, the game, ever since it was released, has been notorious for being difficult to master due to its controls with the Q, W, O and P keys.^[7]^[8] Foddy says that he gets a lot of hate mail for making QWOP.^[9] Despite the criticism for the game's difficulty due to the controls,^[7] the game helped Foddy's site reach 30 million hits, according to Wired Magazine,^[1] and, also ever since the game was released, has been played by millions of people, although numbers have declined.^[10]

Breakthrough and popular culture[edit]

QWOP featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in July 2011.

On July 27, 2011, QWOP was featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and was part of an event called “Arcade” hosted by the video game art and culture company Kill Screen.^[11]

The Guinness World Records awarded Chintamani, Karnataka resident Roshan Ramachandra for doing the fastest 100m run on the game on April 10, 2013, doing it in 51 seconds.^[12]

QWOP appeared on the season 9 premiere of the American sitcom The Office.^[13]

Alternative versions[edit]

An iPhone app of the game was released in 2011.^[14]^[15] The App version follows the same gameplay as with the original version, but the controls differ. The player controls QWOP's legs and arms by moving their thumbs around in the diamonds on the screen.^[16]Kotaku called the iPhone version '4000 Percent More Impossible' than the original game^[17] and 'An Olympic Challenge For Thumbs'.^[18]

A 2-player multiplayer version of QWOP named 2QWOP was also released in February 2012,^[19] after being featured at an event in Austin named 'The Foddy Winter Olympics' displaying a selection of Bennett Foddy's games.^[20]^[21] This version places the game in vertical splitscreen, automatically assigning one player's thighs and calves to the Q, W, E, and R keys, while the other player uses the U, I, O, and P keys.^[22]^[23]^[24]^[25]^[26]
