The First Ragdoll Cannon Challenge
Ragdoll Cannon is the first main game in the puzzle series. You control a cannon that fires small blue stick figures. Every level contains a pad marked “HERE.” The goal is to make at least one ragdoll touch that pad. The main game contains 20 levels, and each new stage places more objects between the cannon and the target.
The mouse controls the cannon. Move the pointer to choose an angle and firing strength, then click to launch a figure. A close pointer creates a softer shot. Moving farther away gives the ragdoll more force. The body bends, spins, and bounces after hitting the level.
Turn Obstacles into Useful Tools
Walls and platforms often block a direct route. Some objects move when a ragdoll hits them. One shot may clear a barrier, start a chain reaction, or leave a figure in a useful place. The next launch can bounce from that figure or use the newly opened path.
The game can keep up to five fired stick figures on the screen. This limit makes each placement matter. A poorly placed doll may block the route, while a useful one can stop an object or help another shot reach the goal.
Aim for a Lower Score
Each shot adds one point. Ragdoll Cannon rewards low totals, much like a golf game. Players can fire several times to learn the solution, then restart the level and try again with fewer attempts.
The blueprint-style drawings keep the screen clean and make the important objects easy to spot. The puzzles do not need long instructions. The player can study the layout, test an angle, and see how everything reacts.
Ragdoll Cannon starts with easy target practice but soon introduces tighter gaps and more complicated object movement. The simple mouse control makes the game easy to begin. Finding the lowest-shot solution gives experienced players a harder goal after they finish each stage.
