    It's a shame to see Blip Blup not in the poll, it's a very nice minimalist puzzler.

    Still, it's very tough decision between Hyper Breaker Turbo and Quell Memento for me. Very different games, but both have obviously been lovingly crafted.

    Both games are very deserving, but I'll give my vote to Hyper Breaker Turbo.

    I have so many reasons to vote for Dead Ahead:

    - Its my favorite runner.
    - Freemium done right.
    - Breath of fresh air into the genre.
    - Mini bosses and bigger bosses, many weapons and locations, very generous with coins.
    - Harder than usual missions with huge rewards.
    - Completely addicted to it, cant remember being so addicted to a game since Punch Quest or Monsters Ate My Condo for example.
    - Done with a lot of style and care and it shows.
    - Made me trust in Chillingo again (same with Zombie Fish Tank but this is better, sorry ZFT).
    - And many more I cant remember right now :p

    Its free, check it out you have nothing to loose, only to win. Its amazing. :)

    Tough call. I've enjoyed Combo Crew, Hyper Breaker Turbo and Dead Ahead (also Go Around, which didn't make the noms). Have to go with Dead Ahead, for many of the reasons The Frost listed and the fact that it's just a blast.

    It's amazing how subjectivity works ;)

    I tried it, didn't even think it deserved a nomination, let alone to be ahead in the polls like this.

    Conversely, Combo Crew, an actual breath of fresh air on iOS, languishes in 3rd place for now, go figure :D

    Combo Crew reminds me of a Wii game, and not in a very good way. Arbitrary motions that don't really correspond to what's happening on the screen. Kudos for not resorting to actual virtual buttons, but this could have been done without a touchscreen and I like my iOS games to really exaggerate the platform's unique features.

    Didnt mean it like that, just that I love endless games to heart and Dead Ahead is amazing. Its really good. Didnt mean it towards the rest, just to the troll who disregarded other games just because he didnt like it with a really harsh comment like the one he wrote.

    I love endless games too but Dead Ahead is not much fun for me. So this will be one of the few weeks I don't vote.

    The more I play Hyper Breaker Turbo, the more I'm falling I love with it and it's unique take on the brick breaker concept.

    Already voted for Dead Ahead, but HBT is basically tied with it for me.

    Combo Crew would be honorable mention. I like it and it's also different for a brawler but for some reason it's not blowing me away and making me want to keep coming back to it the way the other two do. Good game though and I will definately sink some more time into it.

    That's interesting because I normally don't like endless games and I really enjoy Dead Ahead. Just goes to show to each their own. :)

    Despite my love for endless runners and specifically Dead Ahead, i had to give this week's vote to Combo Crew for a handful good reasons.

    My reasons include the following.

    1. One of the most innovative control schemes for a beat-em-up.
    2. Well varied characters that offer extra game length
    3. Sweet art and graphics style
    4. Good sound effects
    5. The best beat-em-up/brawler on iOS since i can remember (Lego Batman, Wraithborne, The Gods, i consider as action adventure titles)
    6. i have a blast playing it... Like, totally.

    OMG!! Not voting for a runner?!?!?

    LOL. I like Combo Crew as well, but maybe it's a little too innovative for me as a brawler. It's fun and maybe I'll get into it more as I play it more...just not as addictive as I thought it'd be. Absolutely no regrets in getting it though.

    But as everyone's sayin' everyone's got their own opinion (and I do trust yours as well as Syntheticvoid's and other seniors around here, just this week, I'm outta step on this one).

    Combo Crew was my pick until about 16hrs ago. Thought I'd give Dead Ahead a chance even though I don't really like runners. I was up to 2am trying to max my combos and scrounging for extra distance like a bum for change.

    The art nailed it for me. Chillingo needs to use Mobirate and approach Crazy Bill devs Ivanovic Games and Fangz dev Appwhizzes with the purpose to create the ios cartoon gore fest to end them all.
    Platform shoot em up level followed by and bike sequence on the way to the base. Crazy Bill style building rampage followed by an epic boss fight. Rinse and repeat :D
