Gameplay
The game features string puppets that allow for complete control over their hands, arms, and the like. The game is written in C++ and Direct3D though it is only played in two dimensions and exclusively with the mouse. RDKF uses multiple mice to implement multiplayer on a single machine, but this feature is limited to Windows XP due to the use of this Raw input code to implement this idea. An online multiplayer feature has been added to the game as well.
Development
The project was first announced during an interview with Healey by LHTimes. In the interview, Healey explained that the game was started after he and a few friends made a £50 kung fu film, and Healey felt a game should go along with it. Healey created a site dedicated to Rag Doll Kung Fu on the Lionhead server.
In late 2005 Mark Healey, David Smith and Alex Evans left Lionhead Studios to form Media Molecule.
Rag Doll Kung Fu was nominated in the 2006 Develop awards for "New PC IP" and "Innovation". It has also been nominated in the GameShadow Innovation in Games Awards 2006
