Read more about New Madrid below.


Imagine a world in which the Salem witch trials never ended…It's the early 1800s and Jack Ellard is a reluctant lawman of the growing river town of New Madrid, Missouri. Expelled from the army for his role in a brutal Native American massacre, Jack has carved out a solitary life as sheriff and rebuffed several offers to become marshal. Despite his desire to avoid controversy and conflict, trouble follows him out west. When a young girl named Abigail Duncan goes missing, everything changes. Jack is forced to delve into the town's secrets and confront his feelings for the girl's mother, Sarah. But when a firebrand preacher named Elijah Prescott, and a city-raised Native American named Chata, arrive and offer to help find the young girl, Jack is unsure of their motives. Neither is who they claim to be. Even Sarah seems to be hiding things from him, and Jack begins to fear the preacher's criticism of her bold and uncompromising demeanor.

The main part of ragdoll hit is a physics-based battle where you fight other players as a floppy stickman. What's your job? Hit your opponent so hard that they can't move or knock them off the stage while avoiding their equally bad counterattacks.

It is common for one dordle game grid to fill in more quickly than the other. When this happens, shift attention to the more difficult puzzle.

I came across Drive Mad unblocked while looking for something to play during breaks, and it’s honestly addictive. The balance between control and chaos keeps things interesting.

there’s something nasty about how Marble Sort makes you believe the board is fixable. belt crowded, half the wrong colors circling, needed marble buried in the tray, and i’m still like “nah let me cook, i see the line.”
