Ragdojo

Ragdojo is a turn-based fighting game driven entirely by physics. You don't press attack buttons: you set what each joint of your fighter does (contract, extend, hold or relax), advance the simulation a few frames, and see what happens. Then plan the next move.

⚠ Early prototype. Expect bugs and rough edges. The physics, rules and file formats may still change between versions.

Features

• Full joint control. 20 joints per fighter, each with four states. Grab with either hand.
• Ghost preview. See where your next move will take you before you commit, and undo as many turns as you like.
• Real damage. Hard enough hits fracture or tear joints off. Detached limbs can be reattached, depending on the rules.
• Up to 6 fighters, free-for-all or in teams.
• Exact replays. Every match can be replayed frame by frame with a free camera. You can continue from any frame, or replay it under different rules.
• Mods. Change the rules, the physics and the arena: walls, balls, weapons, moving parts, trigger zones, dojos and disqualification rules. Browse and preview mods in-game, tweak everything on the Rules screen with a live preview.
• Customization. Colors for each player, names, and your own head texture.

Controls

• Click a joint: change its state.
• Space: play the turn.
• Ctrl+Z: undo.
• F1: all controls.

Platforms

Windows (download) and browser. Mods and replays are saved next to the game on Windows; in the browser they are kept in your browser's storage.
