Free-to-play superhero platformer

Hero Ragdoll Hop: Get Higher! is a free arcade game from Timosha Chervyachkov. In this casual platformer, you get to play as various comic book characters and jump on boxes, crates, platforms, and other types of footing as you avoid traps on your way to the boss. The challenge is in timing each jump and when to use extra hops to ensure you land safely.

It’s also worth noting that Hero Ragdoll Hop: Get Higher! isn’t officially connected to any of the major comic book publishers, although the design inspirations are instantly familiar, similar to Iron Hero: Superhero Fighting.

Bounce around maps

As far as superhero games are concerned, Hero Ragdoll Hop: Get Higher! is a unique entry because it takes heroes and villains and throws them into the same funny scenario. Here, they are ragdoll figures that, when controlled, look like they are thrown in an arc. Their arms flail around and they move nicely. The use of cartoonish designs and bright colors also make the game fitting for younger audiences.

The difficulty also works to cater to a wide range of players, whether you’re a competitive player looking for a rewarding experience or a casual gamer who enjoys comic book characters getting tossed around flailing. It also offers a variety of platforms and traps, from spiked floors to razor blades that keep players on their toes. Later on, you find tricky gimmicks like spring platforms and shooting henchmen.

For a free game like this, expect frequent ads. After every two stages, you get a full screen ad that is unskippable for a couple of seconds, complete with the very small skip buttons and the mandatory trial of the featured game. Other than that, the game gradually increases in length and complexity, making the later stages either too difficult or too tiring.

A fun casual game that infinitely extends

Overall, Hero Ragdoll Hop: Get Higher! is a fun game that works for a lot of audiences. It uses simple visuals, with its characters instantly recognizable although no direct references are made. The control and the premise are both intuitive and easy to follow, although the progression means that the more you play, the longer and harder the levels get.
