One of the coolest things about the rise of mobile games is watching the platform evolve in fast-forward. Every day we see new ideas forming out of old ones, business models adopted, abandoned and rebuilt, and the capabilities of iOS reaching brand new heights. Case in point: Ragdoll Blaster [$0.99]. In 2009, this was a doodle-style physics puzzler with a barebones interface. It was massively popular, but the App Store was young. In 2011, Ragdoll Blaster 3 [$0.99 / HD] is an explosion of color and whimsy, with few sacrifices made to what makes the series great: damn fine physics puzzles. I love how these games make you think a bit about applied physics. It's not just knocking over this tower, stacking that block without letting the whole works fall, it's levers and pulleys and magnets on top of all that. So it's great to see the puzzles wrapped in a Read More

I first came across Backflip Studios' Julian Farrior back at GDC a few years ago. At the time, his company's biggest title was called Paper Toss, and he also had a game in the store called Ragdoll Blaster, a physics puzzler where you threw dummies out of a cannon. Back then, Farrior talked at length about how he was using ads in the Paper Toss app to drive sales of his paid titles, and his big plan was to use whatever worked to make his company successful on the App Store. Cut to two years later, and Backflip is doing great. The company has grown and released quite a few polished titles, including a licensed Army of Darkness game and the very popular and excellent freemium title DragonVale. Farrior and his company have learned a lot over the past few years, about how to make and maintain interesting games, and they've Read More

Circus Pain is a physics puzzler in the vein of Angry Birds and Ragdoll Blaster. The goal across each of the game's 55 levels is to toss a little circus performer into an on-screen basket while trying to hit as many obstacles as possible along the way. It's a pretty standard affair for the touchscreen at this point, but the excellent premise and art style of Circus Pain make it stand out from other App Store titles. The game is sometimes tough, but still very interesting, and you can move at your own pace as you navigate through the game's four worlds. Plus, at a price of just 99 cents for a universal version, it's tough to turn this one down. If you're not willing to invest the buck right away, there's a lite version to try as well. But if you like tossing ragdolls around for a little bit of Read More

Backflip Studios is a true indie success story that we've been following for quite a while now. They've had smash hits on the paid charts with Ragdoll Blaster [$1.99 / Free] and its sequel Ragdoll Blaster 2 [$2.99 / Free] as well as the free charts with both Paper Toss [99¢] and Strike Knight [99¢]. Recently, they've teamed up with fellow indie developers Team Phobic to release Tunnel Shoot [99¢], a fun little tunnel shooter that both is universal and supports the Retina Display of the iPhone 4. NinJump, Backflip's latest fun and free game was released mere moments ago. The game plays a lot like Ninjatown: Trees of Doom [$1.99] in that you're scaling either side of the screens as a ninja like character. Tapping sends your ninja jumping from one side of the screen to the other, swinging his sword around attacking anything in his path. If you attack Read More

In late May we posted a gameplay trailer of FDG Entertainment's Physics Gamebox [99¢] which just hit the App Store recently and is packed with iPhone ports of two extremely popular Flash games originally created by NewGrounds superstar Johnny-K. Included in the Gamebox is and , both freely playable on NewGrounds in any web browser sporting the Flash plugin. Likely the most recognizable game out of the Physics Gamebox is going to be Ragdoll Cannon, which actually has been a free Flash game quite a long time before Backflip Studios' Ragdoll Blaster [$1.99] landed on the App Store. Gameplay is practically identical, right down to the art style. In Ragdoll Cannon, you touch the screen to launch ragdolls to hit a box marked "HERE". Just like Ragdoll Blaster, you can either play Ragdoll Cannon valuing accuracy and precision and attempt to clear levels in as few ragdolls as possible, or you Read More

He revealed that a full $1m in that actually came straight from ad sales -- he's made deals with AdMob and other companies to put ads in his popular Paper Toss app, and he uses those ads both for straight revenue, as well as to promote his own games (more on that later in the talk). Farrior offered up a frank and honest look at what it was like to run an iPhone app company for a year. First, he talked about what Backflip did right last year. He said that he'd hired a talented team to work on his applications, and that the company had focused on distribution, which they'd "leveraged heavily" -- the more people playing their games, the better. They'd kept production cycles short, kicking out apps in no more than 12 weeks, and he said they'd made the good decision to "design for the medium" and the Read More

Backflip Studios’ ragdolls are back in Ragdoll Blaster 2, which is basically a bigger, fancier version of the original and that’s a good thing. Ragdoll Blaster 2 is just like the original game with the same objective of firing ragdolls at a target while solving intricate physics-based puzzles, but with beefed up art, physics, puzzles, sound, and overall gameplay. Ragdoll Blaster 2 features 150 new levels of ragdoll blasting fun, new gameplay mechanics such as gravity effects and teleporters, and Plus+ integration to provide leaderboards and achievements. We have an early hands-on preview of Ragdoll Blaster 2 available for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about the gameplay.  But really, what more do you need to know?  It’s Ragdoll Blaster, just bigger, badder, and better than ever. Ragdoll Blaster 2 is available in the App Store for $2.99. Read More

Here are their picks for the best games—and only games—available on the iPhone.

By – Today's iPhone apps include Ragdoll Blaster, MeasureCam, BNO News, and MySalary. Ragdoll Blaster is a new physics based puzzler that can keep you entertained for days (the recent update added 30 more levels). MeasureCam, while perhaps not as accurate as a tape measure, can tell you the dimensions of an object based on a "virtual ruler" comparison. BNO News uses 3.0's Push Notification functionality to keep you in touch with the breaking news from all around the world. MySalary will tell you exactly how much you make (it even considers overtime and taxes). If the values MySalary spits out depress you, don't blame the developers (or us).  Ragdoll Blaster – A Physics Puzzler by Backflip Studios Category: Games Price: $1.99 Ragdoll Blaster is an extremely impressive game that uses realistic physics to produce a highly entertaining gameplay experience. This is a quality game. Sure, it looks a little  to some Read More

At first glance, Ragdoll Blaster looks like another run-of-the-mill physics game. That’s what I thought as well, but after playing this game for several hours, I found it to be quite spectacular and I simply couldn’t put it down. The task is simple. Shoot limp dolls out of a cannon through obstacles to hit a red-and-white target. Just touch your finger to the spot where you want to shoot and let go. The farther from the cannon you aim, the faster the rag doll flies. To help out beginners, the options menu lets you choose a “sight line” to give a general idea where your character will be heading. An infinite number of dolls can be blasted at each level, but the number used will be displayed next to each level’s name. This is a nice touch as it adds replay value giving you some records to break. What makes this Read More

Most of the ragdoll games on the App Store are little more than toy apps where you watch whatever punishment you can put your ragdoll through. Backflip Studios' Ragdoll Blaster [App Store] pulls ahead of the pack by providing a physics-based puzzle game with a wonderful hand-drawn art style where your ammo just happens to be a little blue ragdoll. The gameplay is simple, all you do is touch the screen and drag a crosshair to determine the direction and velocity you will shoot your little guy, and the physics engine handles the rest. Your goal is to hit the red bullseye on each level, but you won't even make it out of the tutorial before you're forced to put your thinking cap on in how to best deal with the movable obstacles that stand between you and your target. To achieve the best score you need to take as few Read More

What happens when you bring together four engineers and one über-artist, all sharing a rich background in both game design and development experience on a “very popular 3D earth-rendering application,” lock them all in a studio in Boulder, Colo., and let them loose on the iPhone SDK? Well, you get Backflip Studios. Pretty obvious really, if you think about it. You also get Ragdoll Blaster ($1.99, iTunes link), quite simply one of the most engaging, frustrating, enjoyable and addictive games now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. In Backflip’s own words; Ragdoll Blaster is an action-filled puzzle game that combines the fun of firing ragdolls from cannons with the challenge of increasingly difficult levels to solve. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found enormous pleasure in firing ragdolls from cannons. In fact, I’ve often found myself pondering, “Wouldn’t it be great if there were some way to evoke Read More
