Wow. Thanks for the super secret tallying process. Have to start messing with it myself and this will help!
No, please don't repost. Spoiler I initially omitted your name but caught that before posting. Your games were on my list but I didn't resort after adding them so they were on the bottom (now corrected). Those missing games have been added, there were actually 4 DannyTheElite nominations initially absent - Strike Force Extraction Team, Blitz Brigade, Avengers Assemble, and Bloons TD 5. Your other votes were added to the tallies originally shown, they bumped GTA and X-com each up one place (I know because your specific nominations were the last I calculated).

Apparently all this year's great games are indie games for me so this is a copy/paste from my post in the Indie GOTY thread. I note that I only have a first-gen iPad, so my choices were a bit more limited this year, and my list reflects that. Bobbing This was so incredibly hard, but because of frequent checkpoints never too frustrating and it really felt good to finish a level. I even finished the game at one point, but then the wonderful devs kept making more levels. Awesome game. Plasma Sky I never played shoot-em-ups before and I love Plasma Sky for introducing me to the genre. The graphics are wonderful (even on my old device) and for a while I played this constantly. It's beautiful in it's simplicity. Badland Okay, I'm sure this doesn't need any explanation. I love it when games are something special. I really felt connected to the blob-y character, which is a remarkable achievement of the devs. Beautiful game and I'm happy to see that it did so well. Paint it Back You might think it's hard to make a Picross game stand out, after all, it's just a puzzle game, but this one really nails what a good Picross game should be, in my opinion, and I haven't found anything comparable on the App Store yet. I only wish there were more of it. Hyper Breaker Turbo I don't like brick breaker games. They're too random for me, I want more control. So, it's very surprising that I loved Hyper Breaker Turbo as much as I did. I love the style (there are 3 different "worlds" with different styles) and the level designs and I discovered that these kind of games can be really fun. Ninjin You might think that it's yet another runner, but this one is different (it's also not endless - there are 5 stages with bosses) and I really found it a lot of fun. I loved the personality of the game, with lots of little touches in the design that made it stand out. There is no consumable IAP and all the items are easily earned through playing. The game is free to try, and I see no reason not to at least try it. Crabitron I thought I was fed up with endless games with consumable items, but Crabitron changed my mind. It was just so much fun. Sadly the game became incompatible with my iPad 1 when I got better at it (too much items on the screen was too much to handle) so I don't recommend it for that device, but I still really loved the game while it lasted and if I ever get a newer device Crabitron will be one of the first games I'll install on it.
X-com Enemy Unknown GTA San Andreas Oceanhorn Meltdown Rayman Fiesta Run Ridiculous Fishing Asphalt 8 These are my entries. All of them are excellent on their own terms .
