Go Stand By the Stairs, So I Can Protect You

ewhac writes "It seems a programmer named Jetro Lauha, for his submission to the Assembly 2002 competition, decided to explore the realm of solid body physics simulations. So he wrote Porrasturvat -- 'Stair Dismount'. The game involves the application of force vectors to solid bodies connected by links with constrained range of motion, and observing their impact forces against other objects in the environment. ...Or, more colloquially, you push a guy down the stairs and see how much damage he takes. Apparently, any similarity between this game and the Terrible Secret of Space is entirely coincidental."

You get an even better score by whapping the guy upside the head at a sharp angle. (The simulation runs slow as hell on my P133, but I swear it was the most entertaining 15 minutes of my week so far!) The jazzy music goes well with the crunching and grunting sound effects!

May as well make this into the official high-scrore thread. No cheating guys!
