The reason it's so hard is because a real person has feet that can be moved at will, instead of useless flippers that go toe-first and trip you more than they provide a platform for your body.

Welcome to the "Ministry of Silly Walks".

This game is very awkward.

Here's a challenge, how far can you go backwards? Nevermind, only -3.0m is the farthest you can go backwards.

The reason it's so hard is because a real person has feet that can be moved at will, instead of useless flippers that go toe-first and trip you more than they provide a platform for your body. dozens of muscles along with various senses (balance, touch, sight) which are all unconsciously controlled and co-ordinated thanks to years upon years of practice and a natural inclination to be capable of doing so, as opposed to four muscles controlled through a keyboard that make no sense whatsoever.

Fixed that for you.

All you really need is to get into a pattern of, basically, inside buttons together, outside buttons together.

The first thing I remembered, when playing it was Monty Python's "Upperclass twit of the year competition" sketch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w47DvoSBEZI
Watch it right after playing. Hilarity ensured.

Thus far (since seeing this last night), my best is 36.9m.  I can get it going sometimes, but then it usually goes horribly wrong.
