Stair Dismount

Porrasturvat™ – Stair Dismount™ (2002)

Porrasturvat™ a.k.a. Stair Dismount™ is one of the very first games to use ragdoll physics in gameplay. The game was originally written just to contribute in the game development competition of a demoscene event called Assembly, released a few days before the event was about to start, so that people would have some time to test the competition entries before voting. By the time when the event started, the game had already found its way to tens of thousands of gamers in just a few days, and the word about the game and how fun it is kept quickly spreading around different forums. The game won the first place in the competition.
