No Pain No Gain - Ragdoll Sandbox

How to Play No Pain No Gain - Ragdoll Sandbox

You are a stickman who begins on a ledge, just ready to fall. Your stickman moves on its own, but you are in charge of building obstacles for the stickman to create "pain". It's the only way you will earn rewards.

The goal of the game is to earn as many coins as possible by sending the stickman through obstacles. Coins are produced through friction (hence the no pain, no gain), so every bump, scrape, bounce, and collision increases your earnings. You begin with a blank play area and a stickman who drops from a ledge.

Start by placing a staircase for the stickman to fall onto. As the stickman tumbles down the steps, coins will begin to appear. Extend the staircase as much as you can, but you don't need to keep it directed downwards. Use some of the other items to help get your stickman moving down, up, and sideways across the board. Continue adding new pieces to make the fall last longer and produce more movement.

You can zoom in and out to place items accurately. New items become available once you earn enough coins, which lets you expand and improve your setup over time.

Some useful obstacle items include:

• Rotating saws. Add this close to a staircase and your stickman will get stuck, producing plenty of coins.
• Spinning hammers. Use this to help your stickman change direction.
• Rotating chains or wheels. These will get your stickman stuck, but are also a great way to reverse the direction of your stickman's path.

The main strategy is to avoid letting the stickman fall straight to the ground. Try to design setups where the character bounces between items, slides across surfaces, or becomes trapped in rotating devices. Longer movement leads to higher payouts. As your coin count grows, continue to fill the play area with more obstacles to keep the motion going and maximize your earnings.
