@everyone: Please rate if you like the game! :D

The game with the bombs reminds me of Fragger and the one with the ragdoll remind me of Ragdoll Blaster 2, which i downloaded 2 days ago. How many levels in this one for each game? this looks like a 2 in 1! I should have seen this app before!

Both of your comparisons are similar. I like Fragger and RB 1&2, I do have four words for everyone concerning Physics Gamebox:

Best of the Best!

that's 3 words.

Hi Eddy,

Ragdoll Cannon has 200 levels
Root-Poly Cannon 100 levels

Both games are great fun!! If you liked Ragdoll Blaster and Fragger you'll love Physics Gamebox. BTW: Ragdoll Cannon from this 2 in 1 collection first appeared 2008 on flash sites. It's from the 2008 original inventor Johnny-K and improved with new levels and gfx for iPhone/iPod.
Roly Poly Cannon is also so much fun! You have to play it :) The Gamebox is currently on Introductory Sale - don't hesitate! :D

[rich_952000]

that's 3 words.

How true, sort of.

[freedog]

I bought it, gonna give it a go later.

Can you turn off the music and still keep the the soundeffects?

[Future777]

Can you turn off the music and still keep the the soundeffects?

No - but the game music will stop if you open the game while listening to iPod music. In this case, the SFX will mix with the iPod music.

[sam the lion]

bought ragdoll blaster 2 few days ago... ah what the hell, getting this one also.

Oh dear, disappointed to hear/discover that. :( Any plans on changing this?

[Future777]

FDG usually listens to customers - there´s a good chance to have enhanced sound settings in one of the next updates. ;)

[hasio_john]

Another quality game from FDG Entertainment ... ;)

You just made my day, I can't wait :D Ynth is one of my all time favorite iDevice games!

[Future777]

You´re welcome! I´ll forward this to the team, they´ll be happy.:)

[foxmulderino]

Grats to the devs...I've just purchased this gem and having lot of fun! :D
Moreover the 2 games have tons of levels...thankssss!!!

Great, thanks! :)
One other thing I discovered is that the shooting happens on the press-down of the finger-tap, rather than on the release of the finger-tap (like how it does in Ragdoll Blaster). I prefer the on-release method as it's more precise to touch and then drag your crosshairs into position on a small iPhone screen with fat fingertips, more than it seems to be to just tap for the crosshairs.
Any chance of a change here too? ;) Maybe even with a firing guideline stretching between the cannon and the crosshairs? :p

I couldn't agree more. That is the first thing that came to my mind when I started playing the game. Hopefully that control scheme will be added!

Other than that, I am having a blast (no pun intended) with Physics Gamebox!

[camihq]

[cloudcastles]

I managed to grab it, thanks!!!

[Future777]

Awesome, congrats cloudcastles. Please send us some love back with a nice review. Have a great day :)

[cloudcastles]

I will write a review after I play with it a bit more. Btw, the first time I opened the game, it gave me a never-ending black screen (I believe after I started the OpenFeint login process). So I had to quit via the home button. But after this I managed to start playing.

[Future777]

Thanks for the report. Enjoy! :)

[EddyKing]

i bought it and it crashes :(...
i bought a iphone 3G last freakin year and now because of 3GS and iphone 4, it feels prehistoric! Have you tested your game on iphone 3G on 3.1.2?

[songbird]

Syncing now! :) (to my iPad) Thank you for the lenghty sale!

Edit:
Wow, it does scale nicely! :)

We tested on iPhone 3G OS3 and 4 and it works - did you try a reboot?

@snowbird: thanks!! ;)

New update is out!!! :)
What's New In Version 1.1

- 20 new Ragdoll Cannon levels
- 20 new Roly Poly Cannon levels
- Updated and enhanced controls for even better playability
- New option added for seperately turning music and sound effects on and off
- New highscore system (old scores will automatically be converted)
- Reduced filesize for faster loading times and OTA download

[farley]

New update is out!!! :)
- Updated and enhanced controls for even better playability

Any word on specifically what the enhancements to the controls are?

[faro]

The updates changes all my completed levels in Ragdoll Cannon to 100-(my old score). The results is that there are a good number of 99 and 98 when it was 1 or 2. Ack!

[Future777]

In the new 1.1 Highscore System: Higher=better.

Any word on specifically what the enhancements to the controls are?
V1.0: The cannon fires the same time as you tap the screen
V1.1: The cannon waits and fires when you remove the finger from the screen.

Thanks for the reply, although I noticed this myself soon after I wrote that! It's much better now thanks! :)

Aaargh!!! No!! Why??! :eek: Please change it back! I don't even know what this score means?
Before if I had a 1, then I knew I got a hole-in-one, to coin a phrase. And I knew to always try and get a score as close to 1-shot as possible. Now how do I know what I'm supposed to be scoring? :confused:

[Future777]

The challenge or ranking doesn´t change just because the scoring system changed. It´s still better to use only 1 shot instead of - let´s say, 3.

1 Shot = 99 = highest score possible (100-1).
If you´d need 3 shots the score would be 97. (100-3)

99 wins.

hmmmm OK I can see that but how about making the numbering-down start from 101 instead so that if you get a hole-in-1 then your score is 100.
To me that works out much better as 100 psychologically says that its a perfect score.
If I get a score of 99 then to me it sounds like it's almost perfect but not quite.

If I get a score of 99 then to me it sounds like it's almost perfect but not quite.

I believe the reasoning is that with this new scoring method, they can add levels without screwing up the ranking. Under the old system with 200 level and a perfect single shot on every level, the best score you could get was 200, but then they added the 20 level, how do you compare those scores with people who have played the new levels with those who have not.

With the new scoring system, no matter how many extra levels they add, the highest overall score always wins.

Also in my previous post where I thought some of the achievement were not registering, its because they mix the achievements from the 2 games. So I was trying to get level 6 in one shot for Ragdoll Cannon when it was level 6 for Roly-Poly Cannon.

[kasm]

anyone know why my score in the level selection screen is different from the on on the openfient leaderboard?

[Phantom X]

Hi, great game!! ;) As a ragdoll connoisseur, I just wanted to make a few suggestions for the next update:

1)Enlarge the capture zone for hitting the reset button. I fire 1-2 shots on accident trying to hit it.
2)The crosshair memory shouldn't stick when you hit reset. This defeats the purpose.
3)Enlarge the size of the crosshairs. With your finger on the screen, you can't even see them! If there was crosshair memory (see #2), you wouldn't be able to see what you were doing!
4)Fix the scores so that the game score matches the Feint score.
5)Remove the 2 hacked scores at the top of the leaderboard. The first legit score is #3.

Other than that, nice job! This one is lots of fun ;)

cough - fancy meeting you here :P

Also agree with all of your points - verbatim. (edit: just noticed that you can't fire over the reset area which I guess is the reason they made it so small. Probably be better making reset area activate on press and fire on finger release that way you could have a larger reset area AND fire in it if you wanted by activating crosshairs outside of reset area, dragging in and releasing to fire)

One other thing though - it would be great to be able to navigate through the levels better (i.e. the levels i have not done in 1 doll):

Possible options:

A) in level screen single tap to change colour, double tap to slect level to play. That would be a nice simple way to get back to levels that i think have merit working on.

B) have a "next" button (or back and forward) that you can optionally configure to cycle through levels incrementally or just those levels that you don't have a 1 on.

[Vayduh]

Come on FDG where is that update you promised?
