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.Game ModesSolo: compete against increasingly strong opponents and become a champion in each event.Splitscreen: play against 3 friends on the same computer (gamepad supported) like in this hilarious video.OnlineConfront the world record and your friends records.Challenge mode: compete against increasingly strong records from the leaderboards and become a concurrent for other players.Daily Contest : experience the stress of competition with a limited number of attempts each day. Do your best in each event to score the most points in the Octathlon.You can try the web demo!Note: in case its not obvious this game is very different from QWOP.
