QWOP for iOS

A deliberately awkward physics sports game in which thumb gestures and device tilt control an athlete's limbs and balance.

Our take

Consider for a comic coordination challenge

Five sporting modes reuse a difficult body-control system, making small movement successes part of the appeal.

Keep in mind: Its frustrating controls are central to the game; it is not a realistic athletics simulator or exercise coach.

What you can do

  • Move arms and legs using on-screen thumb controls
  • Tilt to change the athlete's lean
  • Attempt running, hurdles, jumps, steeplechase and walking
  • Compare supported Game Center scores

Good for

  • Players who enjoy humorous failure and learning an intentionally unusual control scheme.

Consider alternatives for

  • People wanting conventional one-button running, realistic sports training or predictable easy progression.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 8.0.
  • Its frustrating controls are central to the game; it is not a realistic athletics simulator or exercise coach.
