    It really hurt to leave Quadropus off the list, amongst others. Honourable Mention to Octagon, Beat Drift, iCycle and Fiz. I haven't intentionally left off ports or big developer titles either, so I'm very surprised to not see any on there!

    Had to drop Danmaku Unlimited 2 for IB3. The Soul Hunter update for IB3 just made it too good for me to exclude from my list.

    I have updated my list which was on the 4th or 5th page i think.

    To clarify, if a participant posts multiple nomination messages totaling over 10 nominations only the most recent post will be counted. One person has posted four or more times with nominations (at least two lists of ten).

    It's preferred participants edit their original post if they want to change nominations.

    Edit january 3rd to add Type Rider and Dungelot

    Great thread!

    A few very good 2013 games that I particularly enjoyed playing on iPad this year (no order):

    Warhammer Quest
    XCom
    Block Fortress
    The BlockHeads
    Pixel People
    Pocket Trains
    SmallWorld 2
    Type : rider
    Dungelot

    WQ is a must play for TBS players, with incredible polish and attention to details.
    XCom is an amazing port of -at the time- current gen.
    Block Fortress is a great mix between Tower defense, block building and FPS.
    Blockheads is a very well made 2D Minecraft like with a lot of character.
    Pixel People is a great and fun pixel art city builder with a lot of ideas.
    Pocket Trains is a well done train strategy game with nice depth (although I prefer the older Pocket planes).
    Smallworld 2 had a massive update this year, this board game is one of my favorites on iPad (be sure to check Ticket to Ride also!)
    Type:rider is a beautiful experience, a must have for design, books, history or fonts lovers.
    Dungelot is an excellent rogue like

    These are games that I played a lot and regularly, and most of their respective developers updated the apps consistently through the year with new content.

    I got a huge backlog of unplayed games though, so I'll take a close look at the other nominees To find out which games I should play sooner than later ;)

    Edited my original noms to swap out Danmaku Unlimited 2 for Skulls of the Shogun. Yes, it's another port, but it's a hell of a game. And I got it before it dropped temporarily to free so no influence there.

    This is still so tough. So many games deserve to be nominated.

    There are 3 iOS games on Metro Gamecentral's Top 20 Video Games of 2013 list. Year Walk (12), Device 6 (14) and Ridiculous Fishing (18) respectively. Bit.Trip Presents... Runner2 (Bit.Trip Run on iOS) is at number 9 but I was reluctant to include that one because their review of that game is based on the Wii U/PS360 version.

    They also gave Device 6 their award for Best Storytelling and Year Walk the runner-up for Best Indie Game.

    Wow... having 2 titles from a single dev for their top 2 is a bit surprising and amazing at the same time.

    Hey, don't forget Hero of Many! I finally got it and it's fantastic. Looks like it's been forgotten since its release, but I read posts saying it was a GOTY contender. Might have to change up my list to include HoM

    It's one of the best games of 2013 for me, but being only Ep1, it isnt a complete game for me yet.
