QWOP for iOS brings the legendary browser game to your pocket. As Qwop, your nation's sole representative at the games, you must navigate the track by independently controlling your calves and thighs. With unique touch controls designed for mobile, you'll experience the triumphs and (mostly) the falls of athletic competition. Can you make it to 100 meters, or will you end up in a heap on the starting line?

Our Expert Score

78/100

QWOP for iOS is a fascinasting transition of the infamous flash game. For the uninitiated, QWOP is a game about running—except you have to manually control each of the runner's thighs and calves. On mobile, the controls are adapted to thumb-based joysticks, which makes it slightly more 'playable' than the keyboard version, though only just.

It is a game of hilarious failure. You will fall, you will do accidental splits, and you will move backwards more often than forwards. The joy comes from the absurdity of the physics and the immense sense of accomplishment when you finally manage to limp past the 10-meter mark. It’s a cult classic for a reason: it’s frustrating, weirdly addictive, and genuinely funny.

Yes! While it takes extreme patience and practice, reaching the 100-meter mark is possible and unlocks a special ending.

Beauty. Absolute beauty.

This game is perfect, down to ONE aspect. The only problem is that when I do the 100M sprint, and get past the finish, it says I failed. I've tried to get under 30 seconds to see if there's a time limit, and even that didn't work. But otherwise, this game is PERFECT.

I'd honesty give it zero stars if it would let me... let me start with this is no QWOP. Instead of you pressing the buttons Q, W, O, and P you now have to rotate TWO joysticks each with four functions for the legs that the joysticks control... the only thing that this states with QWOP honestly is the title, the motivation, and the fact that your character is apparently named QWOP. If you had a hard time using four buttons then have fun with what essentially equates to 8 and half the time you legs are very much exaggerated and don't match what they should be based on where the joystick is moved.

Welcome to QWOP

This game works well, but I have been unable to pass the finish line and get a time for runs on the 100m run and 110m hurdles, other than that the long jump works fine.

Thanks

Most games map complex actions to simple button presses. Press one button and jump; press another button and perform an acrobatic combination attack. QWOP's abstraction of running is hardly less complex (and certainly more difficult) than actual running. Players must use their thumbs to independently control the position and movement of the runner's legs. Initial attempts to take even a single step will quickly devolve into slapstick, off-balance comedy. Perspiration will develop the talent to approximate actual running. Fun and funny. After I managed to hobble a whole 100m, I gave the game to my father. He's been at the iPad for nearly an hour now. Entertainment for the whole family. Oh, all the crash bugs have been fixed in this new version. Highly recommended.

Worst mobile game I’ve ever played…
