Bennett Foddy, creator of ragdoll-based running game QWOP, challenges players to tackle a four-legged gallop with his latest browser game CLOP.
Players control a lusty unicorn with the H, J, K, and L keys in an attempt to cross "yon high and pleasant hill" and capture an unsuspecting young woman for his bossy English pal.
