2''GIRP'' is a Flash-based SportsGame by Creator/{{foddy}} based on climbing a tall rock structure that is sinking into the ocean. The protagonist, an un-named red-headed climber, must fight against a white bird as he reaches for a mysterious prize at the top. It can be played for free [[http://foddy.net/GIRP.html here]]

4!!This game contains examples of:
5* ExtremityExtremist: The protagonist can only control his arms.
6* MultipleEndings: Either [[spoiler:the bird steals the prize or you get it... and said prize is rather undesirable.]]
7* NintendoHard: You move each muscle group in the protagonist's arms through pressing a separate button, yet must get all of them to work together, and actually achieving this coordination is very difficult.
8* RagdollPhysics: The way you move, through controlling each muscle group in the arms, which often results in them twisting at unnatural angles.
9* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''VideoGame/{{QWOP}}'', for being based on the idea that controlling basic human motions is difficult.
10* SportsGame: In this case the sport is rock climbing.
11* SuperDrowningSkills: The fate of your climber if he ends up in the water.
12* TimedMission: The rock structure is slowly, but steadily, sinking into the ocean.
13* AWinnerIsYou: Reaching the top concludes with either [[spoiler:the bird stealing the prize, or finding out that the prize box contains something worthless regardless.]]
