#Ragdoll blaster 2 android series#
Icy ones slide better, perfect for a series of levels built around half-pipes, while fat pudges require some of the most elegant aiming in the game lest their weight do unwanted things. The elements sound standard - pressure plates, pendulums, magnets, switches, balls and blocks - but the way these tools are combined is rarely obvious.Įach new world also introduces a new type of ragdoll, all of which have slightly different properties. Ragdoll Blaster 3's brilliance is all about its puzzle design, a continually inventive series of contraptions large and small that have to be nudged and coaxed into surprising solutions. Pretty soon, you're firing so many that the levels would just get jammed up. Well, up to a maximum of five anyway, a feature that's less to do with processing power than simple practicality. They slide on surfaces, nudge other objects, slowly topple down steps and pile up in corners. The ragdolls act like ragdolls do - they go flying, splat into walls and fall down with limbs a-jangle. Pretty soon levels pop up with multiple cannons, which are switched between by simply firing ragdolls into them. It's a physics-based blend of shooter and puzzler, where you control a cannon that shoots out ragdolls - the speed at which they're fired depends on how far away your finger is from the cannon when it taps. Such crude associations aren't necessary, because anyone who plays Ragdoll Blaster 3 will fall in love.
It doesn't matter in-game, because they're always so small and moving so quick you're never really looking at the dolls, but otherwise the comparison is so obvious as to be embarrassing. These ragdolls are now bargain-basement Sackboys. Ragdoll Blaster 3 has echoes of the former style with much more colour, but unfortunately the temptation of LittleBigPlanet has been too much. Angry Birds? Don't make me laugh.Įach Ragdoll Blaster game has tried a new visual treatment - the first game had a gorgeous low-fi style on graph paper backgrounds, while the sequel went for a moodier steam-powered toybox look. Pretty surprising, eh? The previous two games in this series have been on my phone for years and survived every single app cull. Ragdoll Blaster 3 is one of the most consistently inventive games on iOS.
