Ben and Ed is a 2015 physics-based action-adventure where players control Ed the Zombie, who must compete in a grotesque game show called Rundead to save his friend Ben. The core mechanics center on limb-loss physics and ragdoll dynamics that force players to compensate for missing body parts mid-level while using trajectory estimation to navigate tricky platforming sections. Reviewers highlight how the dark humor shines through the grotesque presentation, with players noting that the limb-loss system becomes the standout feature as situations grow increasingly absurd. The level design provides notable variety across the campaign, and the challenging difficulty appeals to achievement hunters who find the sadistic challenge oddly satisfying. It costs $9.99 and holds an 82% positive rating from 1231 Steam reviews, though it is not supported on Steam Deck.
