Stick Cannon: Ragdoll Man
Stick Cannon: Ragdoll Man flips the classic launching formula on its head by turning you into the projectile. Your mission is simple: use a heavy-duty cannon to yeet your hapless stick figure as far as possible across a series of increasingly tricky landscapes. Every shot is a physics experiment, with your ragdoll tumbling, bouncing, and cartwheeling through the air in gloriously unpredictable ways. The twist comes from the environment. Obstacles, ramps, and moving platforms can either extend or cut short your flight, so straightforward blasts won't cut it. You'll need to experiment with different launch angles and power levels, accounting for gravity and terrain, to set new personal bests. Whether you're chasing a high score or just want to watch a tiny stick man ragdoll spectacularly, this game offers quick, satisfying rounds that keep you coming back for one more shot.

What is Stick Cannon: Ragdoll Man
Stick Cannon: Ragdoll Man is a physics playground where you control the launch of a hapless stick figure. It's equal parts puzzle solving and comedic chaos, challenging you to master each shot.
How to Play
Aim your cannon by moving the mouse or using the directional controls, then set the launch power using a slider or hold-to-charge mechanic. Release to fire and watch your ragdoll fly, then check the distance to see if you beat your best.
Tips for Playing
- Pay attention to the wind indicator (if present) and adjust your aim accordingly.
- Experiment with lower power and a flatter angle to skip across surfaces and preserve momentum.
- Look for high points or ramps that can give your ragdoll a second boost mid-flight.
- Track your previous attempts to learn which angle and power combinations worked best for each map.
- Don't overshoot—sometimes a gentle lob gets farther than a full-power blast because of obstacles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the goal in Stick Cannon: Ragdoll Man?
The main goal is to launch your ragdoll character as far as possible from the cannon. Each level or attempt has a target distance or a highscore to beat.
How do I control the cannon?
Use your mouse or keyboard to aim the cannon's angle and set the power of the shot. Release or press the fire button to launch the ragdoll.
Is there a limit to how many shots I can take?
There's typically no hard limit in the free-play mode, but challenge levels may give you a set number of attempts to reach a target distance.
Can I replay a level or try again?
Yes, most modes allow you to reset or retry immediately. Your previous launch distance is shown for comparison.
Are the physics realistic?
The game uses a simplified ragdoll physics engine that's intentionally exaggerated for fun, so the flight paths can be unpredictable but consistent enough to learn from.
Why is my ragdoll not flying as far as others?
Distance depends on your launch angle, power, and how you interact with obstacles. Watching replays (if available) and experimenting with different settings is the best way to improve.
