People Playground
mestiez · Studio Minus
A physics sandbox where you build, break and burn ragdolls. No fail state: the scene stays up while you keep experimenting.
What kind of game is it?
A 2D physics toy box. You place bodies, machines, and a laser, then you watch the ragdoll learn gravity the hard way. No win screen waits. The meta is a workshop of mods, and the question is whatever you typed into the spawner.
Who is it for?
For players who seek a physics toy: place a body, pull a lever, watch.
