This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Updated for 64-bit, so you can continue to play on new versions of iOS.
This was a bit of an adventure, since I haven't released an iPhone app in 5 years. If you see any issues, let me know and I'll fix them up as soon as I can.
This game is perfect, down to ONE aspect. The only problem is that when I do the 100M sprint, and get past the finish, it says I failed. I've tried to get under 30 seconds to see if there's a time limit, and even that didn't work. But otherwise, this game is PERFECT.
I'd honesty give it zero stars if it would let me... let me start with this is no QWOP. Instead of you pressing the buttons Q, W, O, and P you now have to rotate TWO joysticks each with four functions for the legs that the joysticks control... the only thing that this states with QWOP honestly is the title, the motivation, and the fact that your character is apparently named QWOP. If you had a hard time using four buttons then have fun with what essentially equates to 8 and half the time you legs are very much exaggerated and don't match what they should be based on where the joystick is moved.
This game works well, but I have been unable to pass the finish line and get a time for runs on the 100m run and 110m hurdles, other than that the long jump works fine.
This version still has the challenge (if not more so than the computer version) and I really enjoy that. It is what I expected, so no complaints there. The one place I have issue is the double tap reset. I tap, double tap, tap tap tap tap and nothing happens. I have to keep clicking out for it to work again. After a while I get some serious lag too. Hope they fix this too. If they make those two fixes I would definitely recommend this game. Until they do, hold off because it just adds too much to the frustration the game already presents to you.
Use to love this game and now I love it again !!!!
If only I could get my money back

Most games map complex actions to simple button presses. Press one button and jump; press another button and perform an acrobatic combination attack. QWOP's abstraction of running is hardly less complex (and certainly more difficult) than actual running. Players must use their thumbs to independently control the position and movement of the runner's legs. Initial attempts to take even a single step will quickly devolve into slapstick, off-balance comedy. Perspiration will develop the talent to approximate actual running. Fun and funny. After I managed to hobble a whole 100m, I gave the game to my father. He's been at the iPad for nearly an hour now. Entertainment for the whole family. Oh, all the crash bugs have been fixed in this new version. Highly recommended.
