QWOP's appeal lies in its devilish simplicity: a track and field game where you control a runner's legs using only two keys. Every stumble, every graceless tumble, is a testament to the game's physics-based jank. The frustration is the point, but mastering QWOP's absurd control scheme is a rewarding, if masochistic, endeavor that players find themselves returning to again and again.
