There's something deeply chaotic - but also weirdly satisfying - about a game that hands you a rocket launcher and just says, "Here, go mess this guy up." Puppet Master is exactly that kind of game. There's no plot, no story-driven mission, no villain to defeat. Instead, what you get is a ragdoll hanging out in a room and an arsenal of ridiculous weapons, all designed to make him fly, flop, spin, and explode in the most cartoonishly exaggerated ways possible. The game doesn't try to hide what it is - it's a straight-up stress relief clicker with a darkly funny twist. The gameplay is as simple as it gets. You start with a basic weapon like a knife or a small gun, and every tap or click inflicts damage on the puppet, sending him bouncing off walls, crashing into furniture, or just flopping uselessly across the floor. Every bit of damage earns you coins, which can then be used to unlock newer, wilder weapons - machine guns, rocket launchers, laser beams, and a bunch of other tools designed for maximum mayhem. Some weapons can be held down for continuous fire, others require timing or positioning, and some are just there to cause absolute chaos in the most fun way possible. As you progress, you can place weapons strategically, combining multiple damage types to keep the dummy in motion and rack up higher scores. It's surprisingly fun to experiment with different setups, even if the result is pure, unfiltered destruction. What I found especially amusing is how expressive the ragdoll becomes despite not having a face or voice. The way it reacts to every hit - twitching, flailing, getting knocked into the air like a lifeless acrobat - gives it a weird kind of personality. You start to recognize the rhythm of a good combo: bounce it off the wall with a rocket, juggle it midair with a laser, then finish it off with a grenade just for good measure. And it never really gets old. The more weapons you unlock, the more creative you can get. There's no rush, no pressure, and nothing to memorize - just you, your arsenal, and your increasingly unlucky puppet. If you're looking for a game that lets you tune out and release some tension without overthinking anything, Puppet Master is kind of perfect. It's mindless in the best way, and sometimes that's exactly what you need.
