Four Door Lemon throws some shapes as ragdoll puzzler Tic Toc Body Pop comes to iOS

In the UK, the TV program is called The Hole in the Wall, whereas in Japan it's Brain Wall or Human Tetris.

Either way, the concept is the same with moving walls, each containing a cutout hole of strange shape, ready to knock the contestant into a swimming pool unless they can match their body to that hole.

It's the inspiration for UK developer Four Door Lemon's latest iOS game Tic Toc Body Pop.

Using ragdoll physics, you have to manipulate the limbs of your character Tic Toc to match the oncoming wall, also avoiding any obstacles that might be thrown at you before the wall arrives. You can either move Tic Toc around them, or try to flick the obstacles away.

The game features 30 levels, each with their own themes and audio, and you can unlock different costumes for Tic Toc, as well as gaining achievements and ranking on the high score leaderboards via OpenFeint and Game Center as you successfully contort his body.

Tic Toc Body Pop is due to launch next week as a universal release for iPhone and iPad, initially priced at 99c, €0.79 or 59p.

You can also find out more from the game's website.
