How Hampus Söderström created an online community around the martial arts game Toribash

I've been playing Toribash on and off for about a year now; it 's a beautifully simple game but getting your character to perform simple maneuvers gets very complicated. It's actually pretty educational to figure out through trial and error how different muscle groups work in concert to do the simple movements we take for granted.

What Toribash is missing I think is real time play. The movements are too complicated to do real time one muscle at a time, but if players were allowed to program combinations of muscles to hotkeys it might be possible. Players would probably want to share the best muscle combinations; I think it definitely could be pretty fun.

very nice and clean UI.
