“Give your friends that special touch!”
That’s the tag line for this new game from Secret Exit (ZenBound,Spin). Actually, it’s technically not new, as it’s been out for the PC and Mac since 2002. It’s one of the first games to ever use ragdoll physics, and you can download it for free here.

If you played the game on your computer, you know what it’s about. You simply push a ragdoll guy down stairs, and you get points based on damage. As a slightly disturbing twist, you can paste the face of a friend (or enemy) on the character before you push them down stairs. We saw it in action, and it’s pretty dang awesome. While Zenbound provides a peaceful escape, it looks like Stair Dismount Touch will bring out your evil side!
