About five meters. This. Game. Is. So. Hard. It probably wouldn't be so gosh darn difficult if the man you are controlling wasn't inept. I mean he doesn't even have a sense of balance, how is he supposed to run a 100 meter race, in the OLYMPICS? QWOP is definitely not the game for me. I'm not saying this is a bad game, I'm just saying this is the sorta game you play if you WANT to inflict physical harm upon yourself.
