I hadn't spotted that. Yes.. it definitely takes practice. Once you've got the basics, playing in multiplayer mode is a great way to get better (and faster) at dealing damage and staying in control. I'm still very much a novice, and played for at least half-a-dozen games before I won any. That sense of progress was pretty enjoyable. Thanks Jon. I hadn’t spotted that.

I've had a go (in single player mode) - it seems very difficult to get the player to make the move I visualise...hmm, more practice, I guess :) Toribash is available for Linux too.

I'll take a peek at Pocket Physics. I should have mentioned (though the last link gives it away) that the MIT project is some sort of partnership with Microsoft Research. I wonder if it's feeding into things like the the Tablet PC Experience pack? Thanks. I’ll take a peek at Pocket Physics.

Microsofts Tablet PC Experience pack also has a gesture based physics system. You might also want to check out the very good homebrew Pocket Physics for the nintendo DS.
