Description
About This Game
Ragdoll Runners is a physics-based Track and Field game where you control independently the two legs of an athlete to compete in 8 events of different types: sprint, long jump, triple jump, hurdles.
You run with two keys: one key per leg. So you cannot count on pounding your keyboard to achieve victory like in most athletics games. You require good timing and mental strength.
At first, you run and jump in a disjointed fashion, causing funny situations. However, the better you get, the more your actions resemble those of true champions and it becomes very rewarding.
A third key allows to lean forward on certain occasions: to finish a sprint, a jump, or to jump over a hurdle.
You can try the web demo!
Note: in case it's not obvious, this game is very different from QWOP.
