    Kingturn Plus is compatible with 3GS and iPad 1... plus is an amazing SRPG out this week.

    ...or if you can't run new Xcom there's always Aliens Versus Humans (previously released)...

    That's just a soft launch in 3 countries, not launching world wide until Jul 11. Don't see how it's eligible, or how it would be fair to the game (since it will probably be my GOTW for Jul 11 :D)

    agreed...

    I haven't played it yet (as I know a lot of you have - damn lucky frick'n betatesters... =oP ) - but judging by the info and after playing through Ravenmark, it's a pretty good bet that Mercenaries will wind up being a GOTY for me. =oP

    Asterogue released on Saturday (6/22/13, says AppShopper) so is eligible in the next poll to allow time for fair consideration. Asterogue looks promising, downloading now... thank you.

    Here is a tally of the nomination outcomes, due to a three way tie for 10th place I propose omitting that position and only polling the top 9 games. I will hesitate to post the poll for a brief period to allow a time for discussion if anyone has ideas regarding tie breakers but the nomination period has ended.

    Spiral......................................................... 19
    X-com........................................................ 14
    Icebreaker................................................... 8
    Gloomy Hollow.............................................. 6
    Cover Orange............................................... 5
    Home – a Unique Horror Adventure................... 5
    Kingturn RPG Plus.......................................... 5
    Where's My Mickey........................................ 5
    Whirl The Squirrel.......................................... 5
    ------------------------ Top 9 ------------------------
    Rivals of Catan............................................. 3
    Puzzle Pirates............................................... 3
    Leaping Legend............................................ 3
    Return to Castlerama.................................... 1
    Roundhouse................................................ 1
    Forever Lost............................................... 1
    DOT Space Hero.......................................... 1

    Whirl the Squirrel

    As the developer of Whirl the Squirrel, I highly suggest that we just invert the Top 9, putting Whirl at the top, and call it a day. I would be perfectly okay with that; don't worry.

    Know XCOM is good and was the "big" release of the week but would love to see the efforts of the seven-man team of Spiral be rewarded.

    I know it has no chance in hell of beating out xcom or spiral but whirl the squirrel is getting my vote...

    Spiral did get more nominations than Xcom by a good margin so you never know.
