About This Game

...Have you ever seen these videos where neural networks learn to control physics-based characters? In LOCOMOTORICA: Staggering Ragdoll , you are the neural network. You are in control of an active ragdoll in a computer physics simulation. Move your legs manually with gamepad sticks and triggers to retain balance and walk. You have various tasks to complete: This game can be challenging at first, as it is partially inspired by QWOP, a 2008 game by Bennett Foddy. But if you get a feel for it, you can walk and navigate the environment with little effort, as demonstrated above. (UPD: This game was made before Bennett Foddy announced 'Baby Steps') Innovative character controls and physics 30+ challenging hand-crafted tasks Endless procedurally generated levels Steam Leaderboards with replays to race against Level editor and Steam Workshop Relaxing soundtrack From the creator of Drunken Wrestlers and Drunken Wrestlers 2.
