The Puppet Master game is a notoriously difficult and hilarious physics-based game. You control a marionette puppet, and you must make it navigate obstacle courses, climb, or even fight. The challenge is that you do not control the puppet directly, but rather its individual limbs, making for clumsy and chaotic fun.
Playing Puppet Master is a true test of coordination. You use your mouse to control the puppet’s hands and/or feet. You click and drag a hand, for example, to grab onto a ledge, then drag the other hand to pull yourself up. It is an intentionally clumsy and difficult control scheme. You must use this indirect control to make your puppet ‘walk’ by swinging its legs, climb walls by grabbing handholds, or swing weapons in a ‘fighting’ mode. Your goal is simply to reach the end of the level without giving up in frustration.
Patience. This game is designed to be hard. Do not rush. Make small, deliberate movements. Use momentum. Sometimes you need to swing your puppet’s body to get a hand to reach a higher ledge. Think of yourself as the ‘master’ pulling the strings. You are not the puppet. This Puppet Master unblocked game is a puzzle of physics and coordination.
The controls are entirely mouse-based and very unconventional:
The unique and maddening control scheme of Puppet Master is its entire identity. It is a stark contrast to the simple, direct controls of a game like Pixel Gun Survival, which is all about aiming and shooting.
Yes, Puppet Master is in the same ‘frustration-physics’ genre. Like QWOP, it gives you indirect and difficult controls for a simple action (walking). Like Getting Over It, it often involves a difficult climb where one mistake can send you all the way back down.
The difficulty is the point. The game is a comedy game about how clumsy and difficult it would be to control a puppet in real-time. The fun comes from the struggle and the hilarious, floppy failures along the way.
