So you try to make this guy run by moving his thighs and calfs with just keyboard keys.
I'm not doing well, but I can't seem to give up.
Post a good score.

I must be very tired, because every time the guy falls and dies, I die laughing.
This game is awesome.

That game is impossible! I got 3.3 meters my first try and haven't been able to get over 2.3 for the next 30 tries.

Sheeshe, I got 13.5 meters, but it was just bouncing on my knees. There's got to be some pattern to this thing...

2.6 is as far as I got before I couldn't see from laughing so hard at the absurdity of it.

You must pass the secret on to the rest of us!
No, really. How in the world did you get that far?

if you must know...i made him sort of shimmy along on his knees...not really running...
I can't really explain how I did it, especially since i can't seem to reproduce it. I know that the hurdle knocked him down though...

As a runner... I'm embarrassed at how poorly I can coordinate my thighs and calves.

There's a system to it. I start off by hitting q then p. As soon as the leading foot hits the ground, hit w, and as soon as that foot is just past directly under the body, hit o. Now repeat, alternating keys hit.

Q, P first? That's not working at all for me.

The timing has to be perfect and I still don't get it 100% of the time. I keep holding q and hit p when the trailing leg starts to moonwalk. P snaps the trailing foot back.

I'm thinking:
W+O together then quick O when leading foot hits ground.
Q+P together then quick P when leading foot hits ground.
Haven't got the timing right, but it seems to work.

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Wait to hit O and P until the leading foot is under the body. Also, don't let off of the calf key too soon, or the leading calf will snap forward with the thigh and he'll do the splits.

Bow before me.
At approximately 93 meters, Pandora switched to the next song and the app froze for a moment - I almost crapped my pants.
