Ragdoll Duel: Boxing is a fighting game that pits a red stickman ragdoll wearing boxing gloves against a blue stickman ragdoll boxer. One or two players box it out with these stickmen in an arena with a cheering gray stickmen crowd until one performs a knockout.
Before the player starts a match, they can select a body type for their stickman. The first body looks like a traditional ragdoll or crash test dummy with balls for joints. They can also select non-ragdoll forms, including wide, tall, muscular and big-head bodies.
The mechanics for each fight are fairly simple. The player can move their ragdoll fighter left, right and crouch to weave and step away from their opponent's swings. They can go on the defensive by attacking with a gloved punch. They also build up a charge for a super punch that's similar to a long hook or uppercut. A notification icon near the upper-left corner alerts them when this extra power becomes available.
Ragdoll Duel: Boxing requires the player, via their stickman avatar, to fight rapidly and with precision. They must use the controls with speed and accuracy. It also requires a computer keyboard. That said, it doesn't use the W or Up Arrow keys for any type of motion or fighting action.
