Editor's Review of Toribash

Mix a turn-based fighting game with floppy ragdoll physics and out pops Hampus Soderstrom's deceptively simple Toribash. Boil human anatomy down to spheres on the ends of chubby pipe cleaners and you've got a sense for what Toribash's contenders look like. Click joints with your mouse then tap hotkeys to relax, hold, extend, or contract appendages in a contest to see who can inflict the bloodiest damage first. Turns zip by at intervals -- one is roughly equal to raising your arm from hip to head, or kicking a foot forward from flush with the ground to hip level -- and gauge your success by monitoring your "ghost," a translucent projection into the future represeneting what would happen if you ended your turn with your current selections. Tapping the spacebar commits your choices and advances the clock.

Inflict enough damage with a single blow and you'll send body parts flying -- the game is in fact quite fond of blood geysers, though it's worth noting you're maneuvering bundles of simplistic geometry as opposed to anatomically realistic people. Moves run the kung-fu gamut, inviting sophisticated tactics, including everything from "punch" and "kick" to exotic stuff like "aerial body breaker," "good arm removal," "overhead body split," and "super duper simple decap." It's even possible to engage in different fighting styles, from kickboxing and judo to "taek kyon" and "wushu."
