Maybe the best fighting game I've ever played, and for $5? THAT's shareware! It's so varied; you could play through it a dozen ways before raisig the AI level. I like low-flex ginger-bread kung fu. High grav beatdowns, moonwalking, and playing beach volleyball... The most Matrixy fighter I've played.
Suggestions:
Option to show some other or no background
ala n, or ninja, we could unlock different ninja colors and styles to play as, etc.
I like the graphics overall. GREAT Game for Playing.

After fighting a bloody battle against first 1, 2, then up to 4 simultaneous villans... mutation begun.
Impossibly large humans came at me as I fended for my life! Blood flying in the low gravity but again and again I was able to prevail.
Finally a long man came at me, a break I felt. I dived at him with all power and burned as my fist tore into his body... drawing it back as the acid burned my hand.
A robot....
The mutations had been replaced with mechanical horror.
(where graphics lack... imagination flows, try this game and pay the 5 bucks so that he can add some cool graphics)

Interesting concept, but it could use better graphics, more control, better sound and more involving gameplay.

Fun! It's actually really easy to get used to the controls, given that they're so awkward (you can only control the head, and the body follows). It's fun to get the body spinning impossibly fast and then just watch the enemies careen into you. Simple and good.

I don't like this so much. I think that the dolls are ugly and my arm is in pain while I play.
But the dolls are actually quite nice. I changed my mind. Sorry. The game is really good, after all.

Lovely little game demo fully worth the effort to download it´s minimal size.
Imagine two fighting ragdolls in half control of themselves inside a vacuum chamber and you got ragdollmaster.
Plus it works flawlessly on my really slow G4!

Works.
The text flashes colors at the title screen, making it hard to read. The life meters are a little too dark. I didn't even realize that they were there until I won a round.
There needs to be some sort of gravity and friction or additional forces applied to the characters. You don't even need to be pressing any keys and you can win a fight, even against the computer players.
The slow motion effect when there are collisions seems a little "off." Is it cutting down on the frame rate when this happens? Perhaps it's going in slow motion for a little bit too long or something.
I suggest looking at "Rag Doll Kung Fu" for a couple of ideas.

Never mind about the gravity comment. You can still win matches without pressing buttons, though ;)

Unfortunately, the ragdols keep on bouncing around, and I can't interact with them. Maybe the gravity is set too low ?
