Challenging physics-driven puzzle game is impressively entertaining

Ragdoll Blaster, a $2 game from Backflip Studios with a free lite counterpart, is hilarious—but don’t let that fool you. As funny as it is to fire jelly-limbed stick figures around (and into) various hand-drawn obstacles, the game is really a challenging physics-driven puzzler that’s impressively entertaining.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Unbelievable Physics

'Ragdoll Blaster' by Backflip Studios is an amazing ragdoll physics game. It has 100 levels with more to come. The aim is to fire the cannon accurately, firing out the ragdoll and trying to hit the red target.With many levels I am constantly playing this game trying to beat my previous scores. This game features amazing ragdoll physics unlike any other iPod Touch game and it has an online ranking system, which keeps you replaying each level to beat previous scores.A level example would be 'Tank' which involves you having to think what to do, and then shooting your ragdolls one by one. You must shoot the lever to roll out and get under the target to be able to shoot it. If you don't push the balls from the top into the hole first, you will get stuck. Levels like these are simple once you figure out how to complete them, the next stage is to beat the level with the lowest score possible. Fantastic game and one of my best buys!
