SWAN QWOP
Swans look elegant above the water, but beneath the surface they're flapping all over the place!
SWAN QWOP is, as the name suggests, QWOP ( http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html ) but with a swan. Specifically, a swan with one leg.
If you manage to complete it (it is possible - I've managed it myself) then post your time below! :D

Surprisingly fun. I made it as far as knocking the frog into the duck...

hardcore game, I'm not sure if I could get even to the middle of the lake

The concept is amusing, but I couldn't get anywhere. I guess thats what I signed up for with a QWOP-style game so I can't complain too much though!

this was a funny game, neat concept!

Does this game even exist? how is this sooo hard.. Is it possible. Yet this is the most enjoyable piece of swan-inspired entertainment since Black Swan. 10/10 would swan again.

Fun concept, but the controls seem to get stuck. Almost got to the frog though ;)

Interesting concept, but it's really hard to master the controls.
Phyyl30 Apr 2014, 16:23
The movement was too slow, and the concept existed already...

So easy to end up beak down, ass up, laughing in self shame. I made it to the frog exactly once, 5-star audio imo. Good fun!

AHHH GODDAMMIT YOU STUPID DUCK, STOP LAUGHING AT ME, I WAS DOING sooooooooooo GOOD.
Great game, very much in the spirit of Qwop, and even more in the spirit of Clop. Also: great interpretation of theme!

Hah, kinda off-theme, but I think this one is hilarious!

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)
Ohhhhh man, I thought I had a good thing going and then I ended up making exactly the same pose as in the photo ._.
For what it is, this a really nice execution. The frog added a nice touch.

The only complaint I have about this is that you didn't come up with some kind of swan pun when naming this project =)

I suck at QWOP games but this is a brilliant QWOP game. Great work! :)

It's really tough to be a one legged swan! I usually ended up with derek stuck on his back in the middle of the lake :S cool and different idea though.

I'm really glad people are enjoying it. I know it's not a clever or sophisticated game. And you're completely right Hamsternator - what was I thinking?! :D

I got past the frog. I was proud of myself.
RIBBIT.
RIBBIT.

Great interpretation of the theme, I almost managed a somersault!
Waterman79 May 2014, 16:21
Oh no, I got stuck in an infinite loop of ribbit! :D
Nice little fun game, although I didn't see the challenge in staying above the surface as much as not getting stuck in an awkward position...

Super hard, yet amazing game. I included it in part 18 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/mAtRG2njZHE

Doesn't include the LWJGL natives for OS X, it seems.
