Bad Dolls

Grab a weapon, double-jump over your opponent, and blast them into a pile of doll stuffing in this chaotic pixel arena brawler.

Bad Dolls drops you into a compact pixel arena with one goal: make the other doll explode into bits. You can run, double-jump, grab weapons that spawn around the stage, and shoot. That’s it. But that simple toolkit creates some of the most frantic two-player duels I’ve played in a browser. Weapons change everything. A pistol forces you to line up careful shots, but pick up a shotgun and suddenly you’re rushing point-blank. My favorite trick is baiting a friend into jumping, then switching to the rocket launcher and catching them mid-air. It feels cheap, but it works every single time. The double-jump isn’t just for reaching higher platforms — it’s your main dodge move, and learning when to use the second jump separates decent players from annoying ones. The pixel art is chunky and readable, and rounds are short — maybe thirty seconds. That “one more game” loop hits hard. If you’re alone, you can fight the computer, but it’s nowhere near as fun as trash-talking someone on the same couch. Just don’t be surprised when your friend “accidentally” unplugs the keyboard after losing three rounds in a row.

Master the double-jump early. It’s not just for reaching weapons; it’s your main dodge tool. Don’t camp the weapon spawn. Grab it and immediately reposition, because standing still makes you an easy target. Switch weapons before engaging, not mid-fight. You don’t want to be fiddling with keys while being shot at. Use the edges of the arena to corner your opponent — they can’t double-jump away if there’s no room. The shotgun has spread, so get close. The pistol rewards accuracy from a distance. Pick your fights accordingly.
