Earlier this year I blogged about a superb iPhone game called Ragdoll Blaster.

Declaring it my favourite game for the device to date, what I didn't realise is that it was, to put it politely, "inspired by" an existing free web game that's been doing the rounds since 2008!

Ragdoll Cannon, designed by "Johnny K", boasts an addictive original game concept and design that went on to be heavily reproduced in the App Store title by Backflip Studios.

There's already heated discussion about the rights and wrongs surrounding this elsewhere, but the point of this post is to encourage everyone to go check out the original. Whatever your views on this, both Ragdoll Blaster and the original Ragdoll Cannon are extremely good, and deserve gamers' attention regardless of who made what first!
