Chillingo bashes up iPhone with Ragdoll Legends
From the makers of iDracula
Hardly the most festive release ever, but Chillingo and developer Moregames - the team behind the successful iDracula and Knights Onrush games - have just released Ragdoll Legends.
It's a beat-'em up that relies on the type of 2D ragdoll physics and animations popularised by Media Molecule's Rag Doll Kung Fu.
You control your fighter directly by moving their limbs, and thereby bashing the opponents and knocking health off them. There are 12 playable characters to try out, such as mummy, dragon and booth babe, each of which has their own weapon.
The result is strangely balletic as well as being fairly gory, at least in a cartoon way.
You can see how the action plays out in the following video.
