Control a runner's four leg muscles by hand, coordinate thighs and calves into a gait and try to reach the finish without crumpling into the track.

How to play
You don't press 'run', you operate each leg muscle directly. Alternate the thighs and calves in rhythm to build a stride, keep your balance, and cover the distance. Lose coordination and the ragdoll tumbles. Master the gait across three track-and-field events.
Q / W drive the thighs, O / P drive the calves
Coordinate the four muscles into a steady, balanced gait
Fall over and the run ends
Game modes
100m Sprint, run the distance without falling
Hurdles, same gait, but flex both legs up to leap each barrier
Long Jump, build speed, then plant and spring at the takeoff board for distance
Optional Assist toggle for easier balance
Controls
Desktop: Q / W (thighs) and O / P (calves); Enter or R to restart
Phone & tablet: tap the on-screen muscle pads
Tips & strategy
Find a slow, even rhythm first, speed comes after balance
In hurdles, flex both legs up together just before the barrier
For the long jump, commit to the plant the instant you cross the takeoff board
Origins
Sprintlimb is a nod to the deliberately awful ragdoll-running game of 2008, control a sprinter's leg muscles one at a time, where simply staying upright is a triumph. A landmark of comedy-hard, deliberately-clumsy games.
