Ragdoll Blaster 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch

Sometimes a strange idea pays off in an iPhone app, other times it falls flat. Kudos to the creators of Ragdoll Blaster 2 for going out on a limb, and returning with a unique, straight-forward game. Ragdoll Blaster 2 has a simple premise: shoot ragdolls out of a cannon, with the intent of hitting a target. Rather than just relying on aim though, several levels also employ problem-solving skills, as you need to first move other objects around on the screen or bust through walls, all by using the power of your ragdoll cannon. There's also a free version to see if it will be your cup of tea.

The end result is a polished, unusual game that I'm sure will reward the developers with fans. Sometimes ideas are just crazy enough to work.
