Ragdoll Bow Duel
Ragdoll Bow Duel is a turn-based archery duel with real ragdoll physics. Two stick archers stand on platforms across a valley and take turns shooting. Drag back to draw the bow: the direction sets your angle and the length of the pull sets your power, and a dotted guide shows the first part of the arc. Arrows fly with gravity and drift in the wind, then stick wherever they land, in rock, in wood or in your rival. Every hit knocks the body around, heads wobble, legs buckle, and a headshot deals double damage, all cartoon style with stars and sparks and no blood.
The campaign is a ladder of twenty rivals who get sharper every duel. The computer actually works out its shots by simulating them, so early opponents miss by a lot while the last ones read the wind and aim for your head. The arenas change as you climb: green meadows, desert canyons, stone castle towers, floating sky islands that drift up and down, snowy peaks and stormy dusk cliffs with walls and moving blocks in the way. Win with plenty of health left for three stars, and earn coins from every duel.
Spend coins in the shop on special arrows (a triple fan shot, a heavy arrow that shrugs off the wind, a bouncy arrow that ricochets off rocks, and an ice arrow that weakens your rival's next shot), on new bows with a little extra power and on hats with a little extra health. Play a friend on the same device, pop balloons and apples in target practice for a high score, or go online: quick match a random archer or share a four-letter room code, with fifteen seconds per shot and even stats for both sides. Your stars, online wins and practice best go on the leaderboards.
How to play
- On your turn, press anywhere and drag back away from where you want to shoot. The further you pull, the stronger the shot; let go to fire.
- Watch the wind badge at the top: the arrow shows its direction and the number its strength. The aim guide ignores the wind, so aim into it.
- Hit the head for double damage, the body for full damage and arms or legs for less. Empty your rival's health bar to win the duel.
- Pick special arrows from the bar at the bottom: each one you own can be used twice per duel.
- Win campaign duels with 70% health left for three stars, collect coins and spend them on arrows, bows and hats in the shop.
