AbleGamers's Web Game of the Week: Ragdoll Canon 3

It's no secret that we favor physics games in this column but this game is particularly interesting based on how forgiving the gameplay can be.  Many physics titles often involve very precise reflexes and incredibly harrowing precision.  Not so with Ragdoll Canon 3.

You are given an infinite amount of ragdolls to shoot out of cannons at varying targets.  Sometimes it will be a large block marked “HERE” and other times it will be a small circle distinguishable with an H.

Other than that there isn't really a lot of gameplay to talk about.  You do the same thing through all 50 levels, attempt to hit the goal.  As soon as you hit the designated target, you are allowed to move on to the next level.

The object is of course to do so in as little shots as possible. Your score is determined by how many shots you had to take, which in this case is much like golf - the lower the better.  However, one of the fun things about this game is the ability to use as many shots as you want to clear the level.

As long as you don't care about score, you can randomly fire until you beat the level. You'll find yourself just simply wanting to continue to see the next level.

The game accessibility is excellent for those who can use a mouse. The mouse is the means by which you target how far and where your ragdoll will be shot.  Unfortunately, there are no keyboard commands.

The game itself uses crayon like graphics in a very eye pleasing blue color on a white background.  Colorblind gamers and the visually impaired should have no problem seeing anything.  The goals are usually clearly marked and only a few levels have trickery, which might cause problems. Ultimately though, as stated above, simply firing enough ragdolls will do the trick.

Hearing impaired gamers need not worry as there are no audio cues of any importance.

Overall, a very fun time waster. You can beat the game rather quickly depending on your desire to be precise or just goof around.  See if you can beat my incredibly amazing score of 631 in Ragdoll Canon 3.
