    Wow Frozen Synapse is really killing the competition. I like it, but it didnt blow me away though, nor was it addictive... so i picked the one that did and was.

    Congrats on your daughter's graduation SV! And not sure if you saw the thread, but if you want to double dip, they just released a universal version of Machinarium (don't know why they didn't just update the iPad version, but this one is FTP with an unlock for the full game).

    EDIT: Uh, actually, no Universal Machinarium.
    This senile old man got it mixed up with Unmechanical.

    Really confused why Jacob Jones has only 2 votes, looks like people don't like puzzle adventure games that much.
    On contrary note, on Pocket Gamer site it's game of the week and I'm happy for that :)

    Unmechanical was released as Universal I think, but it was unplayable on the i4, so I finished it when I got my i5, less than two months ago... And it was a blast and a gaming experience on its own... Puzzles doesnt repeat and it lasts some good 3 hours with an alternative ending too... SV (congrats for her graduation) told me to get it and it did, thanks!.

    Last but not least, go iPad! (although Im more than happy with my iThing)

    Edit: And the poll closes tomorrow at 2:30 (4 hours less on the west coast)

    :)

    Machinarium...? I think you mean "Unmechanical".

    Wow, I am losing it. It was Unmechanical and I was thinking of Machinarium. Sad part is I bought Machinarium last night on Android.

    Too much work. Too little sleep. Well, I have to blame it on something.

    To be fair, I'm not sure if it's only Android tablets. It's harder to tell on Google Play - it just lets you know whether it's compatible with your device.

    Sorry for derailing the thread...

    I have played most of these games and there are some good ones here. My favorite is Little Viking though.

    Ahahaha... I think you just blamed it on life :D
     
  14. Yeah, that is probably true. I was torn too. But heck, nothing really really impressed me greatly, so this week, I support the ipad. Cause I WANT more ipad only games. Really could care less too much about iphone games. I never play on my iphone, cause I almost always carry my ipad with me.

    More ipad only games please! But only really good ones, tired of cruddy ipad only games. We wanna see warcraft/starcraft, and apple, release your wireless joystick, so I can bug developers to put joystick support in games, cause joysticks is where it is at.

    No derailing at all :) Apple could actually learn a thing or two from Google, like toggles and what you have mentioned...

    The bad part of that is that the devs still can screw up compatibility. There's way too many Android devices to test on. So even if Google Play says it's compatible, it's even more on the devs if it doesn't work. But there is a 15 minute return policy that helps in those situations.

    That said I know I think it's easy to limit games to tablets over phones. So I wouldn't be surprised if Machinarium is still only on tablets.

    Aww, looks like the Tiny Viking Dungeon of Doom is bringing doom to Bombcats getting third place.. would have given that a try, but it's not universal.

    There is some shill votes, and I did post the forums rules on each of the nominated games threads and here too so maybe Bombcats (Im really trying to like it with not much success) may end third after all.

    ...Edit...
    Please note:
    1) Devs cannot vote for their own games. If your game is in the poll, you can't vote. You are free to ask TA forum posters in your game release thread to vote for your game... but please don't post multiple messages about it.
    2) This voting is for TA members - no outsiders allowed. If you have to ask someone to create a new account to vote, you're doing it wrong.

    Edit: Poll ends in 14 hours...on my head... Still more time to vote, ends soon

    Yeah - I've been semi-watching it and didn't really notice TVDoD (I'm much too lazy to type that all out :p ) until today. I'm in a similar boat with Bombcats - I voted for it & it's the only game I got this week & enjoyed playing it so far, but I'm not sure how long it'll stay on my device.. I'm bad at physics puzzlers. :eek:
