Ragdoll Runners is a fast-paced, skill-based athletics game where you manually control an athlete’s two legs to compete in track and field events, like 10m, 30m, 60m, 100m, long jump, and more. Unlike many other running games, you will control each leg of your athlete independently (instead of automated running or just holding a button to sprint), making the movements physics-driven yet highly challenging to master.
How to Play Ragdoll Runners?
Select a game mode and an event. Before jumping into any challenge or competition, decide what mode you want to play in: Solo or Multiplayer?
Solo: Face increasingly strong competitors and become a champion in each level. The first two events in this mode are free to play.
Multiplayer: You can play with 3 friends on the same PC and confront the online world records and your friends’ records as well. However, to enjoy this mode, you need to buy the full game.
Each mode offers a bunch of events or running challenges for you to select, from 10 metres to 100 metres, long jump, triple jump, 60m hurdles, and 100m hurdles. Well, regardless of the mode, your main goal is to cross the finish line as fast as possible (or jump the farthest).
How to control the runner?
Each leg of your runner is controlled separately using the arrow keys: left for the left leg, right for the right leg. Release the key when the foot touches the ground to extend the leg and maintain momentum. You need to smoothly alternate between these two keys to make the runner run fast.
Find a good rhythm.
Pressing keys quickly isn’t enough to reach your runner’s top speed. Instead, focus on building a smooth rhythm and adjusting it when needed. Remember, the smoother and more consistent your leg alternation, the faster your ragdoll will run. Poor timing makes your athlete slow down or even fall hilariously.
Game controls:
Use the left and right arrow keys to control the runner’s legs.
Use the down arrow key to lean forward.
