Bizarre Kung Fu puppet game coming to Steam

Lionhead artist Mark Healey had an idea so crazy you would think it might be a new show on Adult Swim: combine string puppets, ragdoll physics, kung-fu, and hip hop.  The result is Ragdoll Kung Fu, which is soon be available via download on Steam.  The basic idea is that you control the puppet with your mouse to control the shirtless ninjas as the bounce to the soundtrack.  How exactly you control this is hard to explain, but the
trailer makes it look simple to engage and pretty fun.  Overall, the game looks pretty cool, and will probably be cheaper than your average game since there is no real marketing or packaging fees – just a simple side project made by one man releasing it as a download.  I
hope more games follow this trend of making their games downloadable – not having to package the game would bring down the costs immensely.
