Puppetman: Ragdoll Puzzle

Poly does not walk so much as wobble, flop, and occasionally faceplant - and that's the whole charm of Puppetman: Ragdoll Puzzle. Every step feels like it could go wrong, because Poly is a ragdoll, and ragdolls have opinions about gravity.

Your job across 15 stages is to guide Poly past hazards without letting all that floppy momentum turn into a crash. Each level ramps up the difficulty a notch, so what looked easy on stage two will absolutely try to embarrass you by stage ten. It's less about brute reflexes and more about reading the physics before you commit to a move.

It runs right in the browser, free, no install, on Android, iPhone or desktop. If ragdoll chaos is your thing, Playground Man! Ragdoll Show! scratches a similar itch, and if you'd rather flex your brain without the physics comedy, Puzzle games has plenty more waiting.

Guide Poly through each of the 15 stages without crashing - that's it, that's the challenge, but the ragdoll physics make it trickier than it sounds.

On keyboard, use A, S and D to control Poly's movements. On mobile, tap the on-screen buttons instead.

Tip: don't rush. Ragdoll momentum punishes sloppy timing, so ease into each move and watch how Poly's limbs react before you commit to the next one.
