What a Leg – Drawing Legs, Two-Player Controls and Tips
What a Leg is RHM Interactive’s drawing-based racing game. Instead of steering a conventional vehicle, you draw the legs used by a runner to cross an obstacle course. A shape that helps on one section may struggle on the next. Single-player drawing and local two-player leg switching give you different ways to respond to the track.

How to play
Study the next obstacle before drawing. Useful legs are judged by movement, not resemblance to human anatomy.
- 1
Inspect the next obstacle
Look at the next obstacle and intended direction. A low gap, slope or step may suit different shapes; identify the immediate problem before drawing a familiar design.
- 2
Draw inside the designated box
Hold the left mouse button and drag inside the drawing box. Make an intentional leg shape so its resulting movement can be compared with the previous design.
- 3
Judge the result and adapt
Observe the runner after each drawing. Adjust to the visible obstacle if progress stalls; a larger or more elaborate shape is not automatically faster.
- 4
Prepare the local two-player controls
Draw the starting legs in local two-player mode, then switch options with WASD for player 1 or arrow keys for player 2. These select legs rather than steer.
Keyboard controls
Desktop controls
- Single-player What a Leg: hold and drag the left mouse button inside the box to draw a leg.
- Two-player setup: draw the legs at the start of the game before using the switching controls.
- Local player 1 switches legs with WASD; local player 2 switches with arrow keys.
Phone and tablet
- Use a mouse and keyboard for What a Leg. The distribution metadata does not support a mobile-ready claim, so the drawing box and two-player leg selection should not be treated as tested phone features.
Game features
Drawing changes the runner
Your drawing influences the runner’s movement. Connect the shape to what the body does next instead of relying on a preset vehicle.
Obstacles ask for adaptation
A shape that clears one section may struggle on another. Treat a successful drawing as evidence for that obstacle, not the whole course.
Local switching contest
Separate two-player keys switch prepared legs, adding a choice-of-shape timing challenge to the drawing task.
Practical tips
- Change one part of the leg at a time so you can identify which adjustment helped.
- Watch contact with the track as well as the drawing box to judge the design.
- Learn which key selects each prepared leg before a local race needs a fast switch.
- Reconsider successful drawings when terrain changes; passing one section does not prove a universal solution.
Who might enjoy it
Players who like visible experiments
Players who enjoy visible experiments can draw a shape, inspect where it struggles and make a targeted change.
Friends comparing creative solutions
Friends can compare prepared legs and the moments they choose to switch during a local obstacle race.
Goals, score and progress
Move the runner through the course and toward the finish as the mode requires. Judge completion by the race outcome shown in-game. The published description does not give a universal score for drawing length, complexity or leg-switching frequency.
Game questions answered
How do I draw a leg in What a Leg?+
Hold and drag the left mouse button inside the drawing box. Design for the next obstacle, then watch the runner; you are drawing a leg, not dragging the body.
What do WASD and arrow keys do in two-player mode?+
They select prepared legs: WASD for player 1 and arrow keys for player 2. Do not treat them as conventional racing movement or steering keys.
Is there one best leg shape for every obstacle?+
Published gameplay says different sections call for different legs. Judge movement through the current obstacle and reconsider the design when terrain changes.
Can What a Leg be played by two people locally?+
Yes. Prepare the starting legs as instructed, then each person uses their own switching keys. This guide documents those local shared-device controls.
Should I draw on a phone touchscreen?+
Use a computer mouse and keyboard. Mobile Ready is marked No; a phone drawing interface and mobile two-player controls are not verified here.
