Our take on Ragdoll Runners
The defining mechanic is controlling each athlete’s leg with a separate key, with a third input for leaning forward at specific moments.
What is Ragdoll Runners?
Ragdoll Runners is a physics-based athletics game with 8 events, including sprints, long jumps, triple jumps, and hurdles.
Each leg uses a separate key, while a third key lets the athlete lean forward to finish a sprint, complete a jump, or clear a hurdle. Solo mode pits players against increasingly strong opponents. Splitscreen supports play with 3 friends on the same computer, with gamepad support. Online modes include attempts to beat world and friends’ records, challenges against increasingly strong leaderboard records, and a daily contest with a limited number of attempts per day. Daily contest results across the events contribute to an Octathlon score.
