I've been trying to do this for a little while now but I don't seem to be getting any better - it is surprisingly funny though.

How do you get this guy to run properly?

    Thats annoying and funny at the same time furthest I got him 3.6 metres. Dont forget everyone is a winner. Why make a game you cant control?
  • I've managed 15 metres. There are videos on youtube of people competing the 100m but I've no idea how they do it.

    The difficulty of this game became famous enough to become a meme...

    I got him to hobble 1 metre, then he fell backwards. I don't believe he's an athlete at all!

    Well...

    I wasn't able to get the guy to actually run!

    I kept pressing just the "Q" and "W" and it encouraged him to kind-of hobble down the track, although you have to be careful not to over-balance!

    Once the hurdle appeared, he was done for - he tried to straddle over it, but without success and he then decided to have a lay down...

    HTH :D

    my instinct was to tap the bejesus out of the keys to get him to move. tried a scientific approach which works better - try to hit the keys as his foot comes down. w & o are one leg, p & q are the other. just sorta hit both to move one leg then the other. eventually he does look a bit more athletic but have got him doing spectacular flips!
    curse you for bringing this to my attention. it's like a compulsion, getting him to get anywhere past 10m.
    grrrrrrrrrrr
