Nutshot Simulator

A comedy physics shooting gallery: throw stuff, nail zany characters, and watch them ragdoll across mundane-yet-absurd locations. Unlock new areas by clearing targets off your list. Just you, a sackful of projectiles, and a deeply questionable hobby.

About the Game

Throw things. Hit people in the nuts. That's the whole game.

Welcome to Nutshot Simulator — a comedy physics shooting gallery where the only objective is to wind up, let fly, and connect with a satisfying boomph. Every hit triggers a fully simulated ragdoll and a slow-mo replay of the consequences. There's no score and no clock. There's just the throw.

Clear the cove, one wince at a time

Every location is packed with a cast of oddballs, and your job is to work through them all. Make your way across Kumquat Cove — a golden-hour backyard trampoline, a greasy 90s burger joint, a fluorescent-lit doctor's office, a glass-tank aquarium, a hard-hat construction site, a Venice Beach boardwalk, a Sunday-morning church, a roaring music festival, and more. Keep your eyes open: some victims are secret targets tucked where you'd never think to throw, and clearing spots opens up new locations and hidden paths across the map.

Features

  • Real ragdoll physics — every nutshot plays out in glorious, flailing slow motion.
  • Chain reactions — fling one downed body into the next and topple a whole crowd like dominoes.
  • Hidden secret targets — some victims are tucked where you'd never think to throw.
  • Blocky lo-fi style — clean, colorful, low-poly worlds built to be wrecked.
  • Achievements — complete every level, hunt down every secret, and rack up a truly absurd lifetime nutshot count.

Mundane places. Zany people. Excellent aim.

Plays great on Steam Deck — touch-friendly controls, pick up and throw anywhere.
