About Save the Dummy
Save the Dummy hands you a pen and a stickman in peril: each level springs a hazard — falling objects, projectiles, angry bees, worse — and whatever you draw becomes solid protection. Sketch a roof, a wall, a deflector wedge; when the trap fires, your ink either saves the dummy or teaches you something.
Like all good draw-to-solve puzzles, there's no single answer — an elegant line and a panicked scribble can both work, but the elegant one earns you the smug feeling.
How to play
Look at the hazard setup first, then draw your defense with the mouse or finger — ink becomes solid the moment you release. Anchor shapes against existing surfaces so impacts don't knock them away, then watch the scene play out.
Controls
- Mouse / touch — draw protective shapes
Tips to win
- Angled roofs beat flat ones — deflection outperforms absorption.
- Anchor your drawing on solid ground; floating shields get punched aside.
- Less ink, placed exactly where the hazard travels, beats covering everything.
