In Ragdoll Runners, 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 Modes

  • Solo: 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.
  • Online
    • Confront 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.

    • The full game is only available on Windows.
      I don’t know if you can download the web version. You can try and tell us if it worked 🙂

    • Yes it is, but with 4 players it would be more comfortable with 2 keyboards or one keyboard + 2 gamepads.

  28. When I opened ragdoll runners, I got a “code Error” window with “___________________________________________
    ############################################################################ #############################################################
    FATAL ERROR in

    Of Create Event
    For object obj_Steam:

    (null) argument 2 incorrect type expecting a String
    ############################################################################ #############################################################
    “What do you do with these things? The reason is that I deleted the steam and re-downloaded it? How does the cloud synchronization of steam use? What should I do? I hope I can get an official reply. There are really no computer experts nearby.

        • My operating system is Windows10, the configuration does not know. But I don’t think it’s a problem. I can open it before I uninstall steam. After I download steam again, I can’t open it. I tried the same situation before, but it will be fine in a few hours. But this time it is obviously different. I tried reinstalling the game, restarting the computer, and downloading the steam again. It still doesn’t work. The last time the game was played, the data was still there, but the replays all disappeared.

  29. My steam account can’t speak in the steam community. That person is definitely not me, but I am very happy that someone is like me.

          • I have been playing this game for a year, and I have been unable to understand how the points in the game are calculated. Why do some games have a lot of points, and others are rare? What kind of 1000points? What is the standard?

          • I still have a lot of questions about this game. Can I ask you little by little?

          • Yes but could you start a new comment each time you change the subject? For the sake of clarity, for future readers.
            Thanks 😉

          • Ok. I am not very good at English, I am using Google translate to translate, literal translation. So sometimes the tone of my speech may make people feel unpleasant and hope to be understood.

          • I don’t know much about the word, but I guess the answer is definitely “yes”. What about you? Do you want to travel to China?

        • Yes! I am from China. Because there is a time difference. At the time of the match, we were at two in the morning. I can’t see the live broadcast.I hope France can win.good luck.

          • Thanks. I’ll be happy just to watch a good match.

            Is playing Ragdoll Runners also giving you good points for the chinese Social Credit System? 😀

          • I don’t know much about the word, but I guess the answer is definitely “yes”. What about you? Do you want to travel to China?

          • What is the name in your game? I want to challenge you in the Daily Contest tomorrow!

          • I’m sman. I’ve just tried the Daily Contest but I became so bad at hurdles! How do you run that fast???

          • I do not know. I learned the running posture of cilistineEmperor. Before that, I mainly practice long jump and triple jump. I used to be less interested in hurdles. Later I found out that I didn’t have hurdles and my points were few. Later, when I fell in love with the hurdles, I began to watch the replay of the world record and learn his pace until I entered the first page of the hurdles. At that time, I felt that I had reached the limit and could not move forward. But once I ran for 12 seconds, and beyond just a bit tipsy, when watching the replay at the time, I found that some places I ran very fast, compared to the 60m hurdle, I think my 60 meters still have Have to improve. In this way, I exceeded the fifth and fourth place. 11.90s to 11.83s, then 11.77s to 11.65s. Then to 11.50.Beyond all visual playback. To 11.40s. I think I shouldn’t be able to move anymore, so I gave up, but once again 60M, I ran into 6.30s, almost surpassing preQui, which gave me confidence. When I went to my classmates, I ran a record of 11.23s on his computer. Because it was not connected to the Internet, the record could not be archived normally. On a holiday, I broke the record almost every day and then surpassed preQui. I feel that I can break the world record. In the first two days of the final exam, I broke the world record of 60M and 110M twice. Later, after the exam was over, I felt that the exam was not going well. I was very angry. I thought that I might be too fond of playing games. I deleted the steam in an angry manner. But still can’t help but download it again.I think the Daily Contest is full of uncertainty. I only ran 13.87s and 7.54s in the first two weeks.

    • I wanted to but, as the game is in 2D, I didn’t know how to rotate the athlete’s body. It would be for a 3D version of the game 🙂

  32. Do you use medieval magic in your game? I played this game one night before the exam, and then I got the top ten in the entire grade. very happy! Never had such a good result! It will change my life!

    • Haha! Maybe that game helps you to get focus.
      Sometimes when I’m very concentrated playing it, I feel like I’m outside my body, meditating 🙂

  33. The 100-meter world record was broken, I thought it would be broken by fabbsy, actually the old master“ Joe0”. Congratulations. The 8th world record was broken in 2018.

    • I needed a bigger surface for the personal color of each athlete.
      But I could have kept it and given 3 personal colors by athlete. I liked it to. I should have done that 🙁

  39. Hey sman, do you have any good way to contact other players? I want to challenge the old hurdles world record breaker.

    Reply ↓

    • Yes, you can be a beta tester. Send me an email (ragdoll.runner@gmail.com) and when the beta test starts, I’ll give you access to it.

  42. Can you modify some data to make it a cheating version?
    ?_?
    Of course, this is just a joke, but I think you can post some mismade versions, just like the movie’s tidbits.

    • Yes I could make a version with more strength in the legs or less air resistance.
      And sell it $1,000,000 😀

  44. Why can’t I debug the color to cilistineEmperor? Why can’t I find the color of his clothes? His brown color is too strange, and the color of blackettCharlie is also.

  45. Almost I can break the record of 9688pts created by “just a bit tipsy”. Unfortunately, the hurdles are playing abnormally. I have calculated that if I play normal, I can get 9783pts, waiting for the world record of daily challenges within this year will definitely be refreshed by me. I thought of a sentence: “Without too much expectation, there will be no disappointment.”

  47. Hey, sman, I want to ask you a question other than ragdoll runners. I am very sad recently, I like a girl, but like the previous ones, there are boys or men who have a heart. I feel that I am targeted, what should I do? Do you think I think too much?

  51. Ok, I have to go back to my hometown. I will leave for a month or more. Thank you for your game, thank you for your game and accompany me for one year.
    There is a superhero here, he is called sman. Haha

  53. Hey, sman. Why is my 10M score very bad?Other people’s 100 meters score is great, 10M is also great. And I am not, except for 10M, everything else is fine. ☺

  61. It’s 2021 and there is still no Android version. I’m not being impatient, but I enjoy this game (the demo at least) and would like to play on my phone. Can I get an update on when the Android version will be released?

    Reply ↓

  62. Hello sman! I would like to talk about something. I enjoy this game (the demo at least) and am increasing my skill. My best time on the 30m dash is 3.79! Not the best, I know, but good for me. My point: I recently opened the Google Play Store to look for the mobile version of Ragdoll Runners and could not find it. I’m in U.S. so is the app in a certain country?

  70. GOOD DAY TO YOU. IS THERE A REAL PERSON THERE TO TALK BY PHONE OR CHAT WITH BY EMAIL.IT’S THE WEEKEND – ARE YOU OPEN FOR BUSINESS TODAY ?

  76. This sounds like such a fun and unique take on track & field games! I love the idea of incorporating ragdoll physics—it should add a hilarious layer of unpredictability to the races. Can’t wait to see how the characters move and stumble on the track!
