    I'm so sorry to keep asking.

    I believe that was for beta testing.
    I think the 1.1 was the actual release.
    I'm about to find out for sure.

    Poll is live, participants are encouraged to discuss their vote.

    I went with Dungelot 2. It's not perfect and there are some bugs but I've enjoyed it a lot.

    I see Dungelot 2 was pulled. Given Dungelot 2 was launched and widely available without initial cost I think it's fair to consider it this week but open to feedback.

    Voted for World of Gibbets. Only downloaded 2 new games from last week and this is the only one that wasn't broken. Plus shooting people with arrows as they are being hung to death is somehow quite funny.

    Im boycotting this week. Probably wouldve gone with Dungelot 2, but it was too buggy and flawed right now im not going to bother.

    I am disappointed in this week too... I bought:

    Super Obstacle Boy, but due to bugs I deleted it until a fix arrives.
    Riot Runners is uninspired and paidmium, at least Toad Rider has good fun gameplay.
    Colossus Escape is better but its still very repetitive, very repetitive, plus its not complete.
    Dungelot 2 is a complete disappointment, fun for 5 minutes only.
    Stubies is the best of the bunch but it hasn't clicked on me yet.

    It seems like Stubies might get my vote... Last week was too good I guess...

    Not a great week but out of the bunch Stubies, Any Landing and Blowfish Meets Meteor were all pretty good. I had been anticipating Riot Runners, but it was disappointingly too freemium and not all that much different than its Robo Rush "preview".

    Any Landing really could be great but needs some work on giving the player more direction. I like Blowfish Meets Meteors twist on brick breaking but for some reason I can't quite shake the feeling that the paddle and core gameplay are a bit off, particularly some of the physics when it starts bouncing within groups of blocks. Still fun though.

    But Stubies is the most polished and has a nice original idea behind the match-3 genre. So it gets my vote.

    I voted for Gibbets. A great precision puzzle game, a lot of content, fun, challenging, and polished. I'd recommend giving it a try
