Ragdoll sandbox

What it is

Ragdoll sandbox is a 2D physics simulation in early development. You watch ragdoll dummies react to medics, bystanders, fighters, and zombies, with an emphasis on realistic damage and vital organs.

Editor takes

TheoThe Number Cruncher

“The sandbox has a neat cast of AI roles, but with no upgrades or progression loop yet, the long-term hook is as thin as the dummies.”

KaiThe Speedrunner

“It's a twitchy little physics toy, but the loose 2D hitboxes and missing difficulty curve mean there's nothing to speedrun yet.”

BeaThe Jam Judge

“For an early in-development sandbox, the blood physics and vital organs punch above their weight, though it still needs more polish and feedback to feel complete.”

NicoThe Commuter

“Easy to pick up in a short break on browser or Android, but with an in-development build, don't count on a session you can resume later.”

How to play

Set up scenes by placing different character types around the dummy and let the simulation run. Each character has a role: medics heal, bystanders wander or react, fighters attack the dummy and zombies, and zombies attack the dummy.

Tips

• Combine a fighter and a zombie to see them target each other as well as the dummy.
• Use the medic to heal the dummy after attacks and keep the scene going longer.
• Experiment with different character mixes to see how the AI reactions change.
• Watch how vital organs affect damage to make more realistic stunt scenes.
