Ragdoll Football Online

Mission briefing

Every shot can turn into a wild tumble. Play soccer with floppy ragdoll players: practice alone, face bots in 1v1 or 2v2, or find an online opponent. Aim your pushes, score goals, watch replays, and collect cards to change your player's kit.

Field manual

Choose a mode. Press on the pitch, drag in the direction you want to move, and release to push your player. A longer drag makes a stronger push. On a keyboard, hold a direction key (WASD or an arrow), then release it. Score more goals than the other team.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for multiplayer operations

The first match against strangers is tuition. You are not there to win it; you are there to learn the map, the pacing and what the regulars do that the tutorial never mentioned.
Ping and position beat raw aim. A stable connection and a sensible place to stand will win you more rounds than any sensitivity setting ever published.
Rematch the player who beat you cleanly. Queues are random, but lessons are not — the opponent who outplayed you is a free coach for exactly the skill you are missing.
