The creator of QWOP, the physics-based running game that quickly went viral due to being insanely impossible and just insane in general, has now released a spiritual successor, CLOP.<\/p>\n
Bennett Foddy\u2019s games are simple in concept, but challenge the player to master awkward controls in order to do mundane tasks such as walking.<\/p>\n
The original, QWOP, was named for the keys you use to control a track runner\u2019s thighs and shins. The game usually ended with a nose-dive into the track and a broken keyboard. Those who actually managed to make the runner do an awkward hop-scotch along the track were revered by their peers (or so we liked to believe).<\/p>\n
This was followed by GIRP, which required you to climb a cliff-face by grabbing handholds represented by keyboard keys. This game also usually ended in tears.<\/p>\n
Now Foddy has given us CLOP, which is very similar in concept to QWOP, and just as difficult. However, instead of a runner, you are in control of a unicorn with an inner-ear problem. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to rescue a young virgin for a master who never tires of insulting you everytime you mess up. Which, if you\u2019ve been following along, you will know is going to happen a lot.<\/p>\n
Confusingly, you use the K, H, J and L keys to control the unicorn. But give the man a break, it\u2019s hard to work with no vowels.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re into epileptic unicorns and snotty, olde English insults (and let\u2019s be honest, who isn\u2019t?), give the game a try here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n Kojima aims to integrate social and core gaming<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Will casual gaming destroy innovation in the hardcore market?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n EA CEO: \u201cPC is the fastest growing platform today\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nSource: Eurogamer<\/a><\/h5>\n
