Ragdoll Duel

A physics ragdoll archery game with wobbly stickmen: draw, aim and let fly. Land headshots, topple towers and take on 6 bosses across 66 stages, with wind, vehicles and 10 trick arrows.

Ragdoll Duel is a ragdoll archery game with real physics, playable in your browser. Wobbly wire stickmen stand on towers and stacks of blocks, and every arrow counts. Land a headshot, knock an enemy off balance, or shoot the blocks out from under their feet and watch them tumble.

Every body part takes its own damage and headshots hit hardest. Hits rock your rival, and enough damage drops them. Meanwhile they shoot back, so jump to dodge and keep an eye on your stamina while you hold the bow drawn.

If you enjoy bow-and-arrow duels like Bowmasters or classic stickman archery games, Ragdoll Duel adds a full campaign, bosses, wind and vehicles, and a set of trick arrows that change how you play.

How to play this ragdoll archery game

Drag to aim and draw the bow, then release to fire. Arrows fly in an arc, so aim above a distant target and watch for wind. Knock your opponent down, or remove the blocks under them for an instant fall KO. Jump to dodge incoming arrows.

Features

• A 66-stage campaign across 6 worlds: Workshop Yard, Windy Ridge, Rail Yard, Junk Highway, Ice Docks and Storm Tower
• 6 bosses: The Foreman, The Kite Rider, The Engine, The Monster Truck, The Harbour Crane and The Bender
• 10 trick arrows: Pin, Rivet, Fork, Staple, Spring, Tether, Magnet, Drill, Solder and Spool. Split a shot in three, bounce it off a block, pin a limb, or tether an enemy and pull
• Wind that bends your shots, mine carts and crane hooks, cars and trucks, ice and water, and lightning at night
• Trick shots and combos (doubles, ricochets, dominoes and skewers) with a slow-motion replay of your best moment
• Endless mode with a boss every 15 KOs, and a daily challenge with a twist: wind, ice, storm or elite
• Up to 3 stars per stage, missions, 8 upgrades and new styles for your bow and stickman
• No blood: hits throw sparks, arrows stick and ragdolls flop

Tips

• Aim for the head: it takes the most damage per hit.
• Shooting the blocks under an enemy is often faster than wearing them down. A fall is an instant KO.
• Watch the wind indicator and aim into it on long shots.
• Don't hold the bow drawn forever: it drains stamina. Draw, aim and let go.
• Jump right after you see your rival release, not before.
• Save the Fork arrow for groups, and try the Magnet arrow when the wind is strong.
