Ragdoll Cannon

We at E4 Games have been complaining of late that the cannon genre is at a dead end... but games developers seem to have taken this on as a challenge! Another great cannon game this week, from maverick game maker Johnny-K. Johnny has combined ragdoll physics, with a simplified version of the power-and-angle classic, and then dressed it up with scribbled designs.

This is essentially that 'brilliant' dodgy doodle in the back of your science exercise book at school that you 'just knew would make a good game' come to life and, surprise, surprise: it only DOES make a good game. You have an unlimited supply of ragdolls to fire across the screen, dislodging this, and avoiding that. In order to win: eventually one of them has to hit the box conveniently marked 'here!'

Position the mouse-target somewhere on the screen and click to fire a ragdoll. The position reflects the angle, and the distance from the cannon reflects the power.

There can't be more than five ragdolls on the screen at any one time, which means the first one you fired will vanish when you fire the sixth, and so on. So be careful how you use them.
