You've forgotten how to use a pen

I always find it interesting when a game's entire premise is based on bad controls. So go ahead: try to write the alphabet.

I gave up at letter E.

At least the control scheme in QWOP made SOME sense in that you controlled the calves and the thighs, something which in the real world you do instinctively. Therefore it was arguably better at simulating "forgetting" to do a basic task than this game where the controls are just random.

PS I don't think the control's are random...you just twist the pen in a circle left or right and push up and down. Still is lousy though.
