    Best App Ever 2009 - Best Adventure Game: Gomi

    Gomi has won first place in the Best App Ever Awards adventure category, beating out Zenonia, Bounce On, Soosiz, Spider, Sway, I Dig It, and Ravensword! This is the category with all the platformers (and some of the best RPG's) in it, so Gomi is the Best Platformer of 2009! :D :D :D

    Thanks to everyone here who voted for us; we couldn't have done it without you!

    App store: Gomi, $2.99





    Since I've got the thread here, here's another deleted music track from Gomi's soundtrack! It was initially going to be played during all the 'Race to the Goal!' levels at a point early in the dev when there were also miniboss missions. The miniboss levels didn't work out, and the music dedicated to those missions was moved to the last 2 levels of World 8. Having a dedicated song to only the Race levels seemed like a bad idea, so we just made the Race levels have the normal world music like the rest of the game. (There's also some horrible phase cancellation with some parts of the song that I was glad not to have to deal with anymore :D)

    And a little taste of our next game, Trace 2. Yes, we are working hard on it :p. Life interfered and slowed us down a bit. It's going to be much more than a 'palette swap and a new level pack' sequel, so there's a lot to do.

    This is the current version of the Title Screen music, entitled Trace². (Every world must be 5 letters, of course :D)

    Yes, but if this was 'The Best Adventure Game of 2009', then I surely should have heard of it.

    A bad joke. Especially compared to the other nominees.
    But congrats to the dev. But clearly the weakest of all in my opinion.

    Well it is the most douchiest of app awards.

    They gave the "BEST APP EVER (of 2009)" to Pocket God! WTF?

    Congrats anyway, although it is like winning an event in the special olympics.

    No, Pocket God won the award for "BEST APP EVER"... so it's ok, that it's not a game. But anyway, you are completely right!

    All Fridges Are Psychotic is one of THE adventure game surprises on the idevices. Fantastically written. Really. Love that game. And yes, even Bounce On is way better. Although many of these games I wouldn't even call adventure games.

    In general I didn't enjoy AFAP or Bounce On, but to each his own. Gomi may have not been my top pick from the list either but its certainly a worthy winner.
