    "I'm extremely impressed by Ragdoll Blaster, and as a huge fan of physics games, I can't believe I waited until now to play it.", Touch Arcade

    "Expertly designed, sublimely presented and with cause for replay after replay, Ragdoll Blaster is the king of experimentation that ends with a brilliant bang.", Pocket Gamer

    ". . . Ragdoll Blaster, quite simply one of the most engaging, frustrating, enjoyable and addictive games now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.", The Apple Blog

    "This game is nearly perfect in implementation for this platform . . .", iphoneappreviews.net

    Do you love firing cannons and solving puzzles?
    Then Ragdoll Blaster from Backflip Studios is the game for you!

    Ragdoll Blaster combines the fun of firing ragdolls from cannons with the challenge of a puzzle game . . . while simulating real physics. It is fun, fast paced and addictive - requiring both agile fingers and an active mind. You simply touch the screen to aim and fire your ragdoll at increasingly more difficult targets. The object is to complete the levels using as few ragdolls as possible . . . easier said than done.

    This game is the latest entry in the popular ragdoll physics-based puzzle genre, but has been given an entirely new spin using the innovative controls of the iPhone/iPod Touch. It introduces a whole new world of springs, pistons, wheels, buttons, motors and other complex moving objects designed to enhance the game and prevent you from hitting targets.

    - Incredibly simple yet addictive.
    - Over 100 increasingly challenging levels to complete.
    - Single tap to aim, fire and control velocity.
    - Flying ragdolls.
    - Intuitive user interface.
    - Action packed.
    - Real physics.
    - Play in-game music or anything from your iPhone/iPod Touch.
    - Scoring per level and in total.
    - Submit and compare your scores online.
    - Saves game progress.
    - Easy to play, difficult to master.

    Please take the time to leave a review and give us feedback, we are in this for the long haul and want to design the best games possible based on user input. We will improve and extend this game as long as there is an audience. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Look for many more games to be released in the upcoming months from Backflip Studios. Please follow Backflip Studios on http://twitter.com/backflipstudios for additional updates and tips.

    I've heard the Lite version of Ragdoll Blaster is the best, as it has all the good levels. Do other people find this true?

    I just finished the Lite version and most were good puzzles, but then there were bad levels at the end (like the "labyrinth" one) which are just time consuming and about precision shooting as opposed to solving a real puzzle.

    I thought Rolando was a platform game, not a puzzle game? (I know it has puzzle elements!)

    At least iBlast Moki came out on top, that truly is a great physics puzzle game! :)

    iBlast Moki definitely deserves this one! However, I agree with the fact that Fantastic contraption did not make it here.
