Bring out your cannons once more, because Backflip Studios’ third offering in its hit series of Ragdoll Blaster physics-based puzzlers is now available in the App Store.

While it’s true that a number indicating the game’s ordinal position in the series is included in its name, Ragdoll Blaster 3 actually looks so different from both its predecessors that it may very well be a series kickstarter itself. The first Ragdoll Blaster was released back when minimal yet playful doodle art was all the rage (2009, remember?) and it was not immune to that now-faraway fad. The second, released in 2010, took a more refined approach with its steampunk visuals. But now the latest iteration of Ragdoll Blaster boasts high-definition 3D graphics brimming with color and cartoon fun.

The gameplay remains practically the same across all Ragdoll Blaster versions: launch a ragdoll out of a cannon and into the air, that is, after adjusting the angle and firing speed of the cannon so as to make the ragdoll hit the red bulls-eye target. But beyond that, Ragdoll Blaster 3 carries a heavy artillery of new features in addition to its more advanced graphics, including five unique ragdolls with unique characters and custom-tailored suits to boot, amusing sound effects, integrated sharing options, and more than a hundred levels with varying setups and obstacles spread across five game worlds.

It should also be noted that Ragdoll Blaster 3 is one big app, tipping the memory scale at more than a hundred megabytes. It took almost an hour to download on my iPhone, a period which I just spent reacquainting myself with Ragdoll Blaster 1 and 2. But just minutes after downloading Ragdoll Blaster 3 I had already found myself having a blast.

Quick Take

Value:High.

Would I Buy Again:Yes.

Learning Curve:Low.

Who Is It For:Players of the two previous Ragdoll Blaster games eager to try the next.

What I Like:The vibrant graphics.

What I Don't Like:The size of the app.

Final Statement:The latest title in the Ragdoll Blaster franchise hits the squishy, red bulls-eye.
