Stick Ragdoll Games

"Stick Figure Smash"

• The website Rag Doll Game has a game, "Stick Figure Smash," where you get to smash a stick figure which has the physics of a rag doll. Thus, the doll falls and collapses loosely without snapping any bones or twisting any joints. Choose between two modes: normal mode, where you just play for fun; and score mode, where you play to accrue the most points. Once you choose your mode, choose between three types of games: "normal," where you smash your stick-figure rag doll in a regular manner with your arrow keys and space bar; "bloodbath," where you play in a regular fashion except a wealth of blood sprays each time you beat up the figure; lastly, "underwater," where you do all of these things to the figure underwater.

"Jazzy Rag Doll"

• The website Game Puma hosts a game called "Jazzy Ragdoll." In this game, you have to manipulate a stick figure through the air as multi-colored balls fall randomly upon it. By using your arrow keys, you need to help the stick figure dodge all of the falling balls. Every time you manipulate the figure's actions, it moves with the fluidity of a rag doll. At the same time, you can't allow your stick figure to hit the floor. If your stick figure touches the floor or hits any of the falling balls, the game is automatically over.

"Rag Doll Avalanche"

• "Rag Doll Avalanche," on the Funny Games website, requires you to protect your stick figure from a barrage of a falling spikes. Using the arrow keys, you have to get your stick figure out of harm's way. The spikes keep falling in a random order, and you need to keep your stick figure entirely safe. For example, if a spike touches your stick figure's leg, then your stick figure loses its leg. However, if a spike touches a more vulnerable area, such as its head, chest or stomach, the stick figure explodes into a mass of red blood. You need to move quickly as it has the physics of a rag doll.
