    Praise for SPIDER: THE SECRET OF BRYCE MANOR: Best Mobile Game - Indie Game Festival Best iPhone Game - Indie Game Festival Game of the Year - TouchArcade Best of the Year - USA Today Platform Game of the Year - IGN "One of our top 3 iPhone games of all time." - boing boing "There's really nothing as uniquely rewarding as tackling a hornet out of the air, or spinning an eight-point web." - Slide To Play "The twin games — puzzle-action and mystery — work exceptionally well together." - IGN "Gorgeous storybook-illustrated style that's remarkably unique for any game." - Offworld --- In Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor, you take on the role of a simple house spider. Make your way from the gardens into the mysterious abandoned home, building webs to catch your prey. Crawl up the walls and climb into crevices to find hidden surprises, and eat your fill of insects to grow strong. With intuitive touch controls, you'll be constructing massive webs with the flick of a finger. As you make your way from room to room, your little spider will stumble across the pieces of the story of what happened to the former residents of Bryce Manor. Explore every room thoroughly to find every clue and solve the mystery the house holds within its walls. Be careful, though. There are other hunters around, and some of them have no problem making a quick lunch of you. You'll have to construct bigger and stronger webs to deal with some of the deadlier twists the game throws at you. With your human brain and spider skills, can you uncover the secret of Bryce Manor? Uncover the Secret: Search every room thoroughly for clues about what happened in the abandoned manor. Observe your surroundings and solve puzzles to reveal the story! Battle Nature: Not everything you catch in your web will lay down without a fight. Construct larger and stronger webs to ensnare bigger and deadlier prey! Interesting Environments: Explore every inch of the house, from the garden to the attic and everything in between. Thread your webs across a kitchen, a dining room, and many more locations! Intuitive Controls: Use touch controls to take full advantage of your arachnid agility and zip around rooms with ease. Assemble amazing webs with a few flicks your finger, or soar through the air in any direction you choose. Doing whatever a spider can has never been simpler! ************************************************** GameClub is a subscription mobile gaming service.

    Can you survive the onslaught of furries in the dark wilderness of Hardland? Help John Gore avoid his enemies and fill them full of lead in this action-packed arcade shooter. Choose from an assortment of wacky characters, pick your battleground, and head into action. The deadly furries only get bigger and more numerous the longer you survive. Your trusty machine gun will always be there for you, but you'll also be able to make use of shotguns, grenade launchers, and more. Just when you might think all is lost, you might be able to turn things around by becoming a beast yourself and biting back. Every creature you defeat will earn you points that you can use to unlock even more characters. Want extra challenge? Head to the graveyard and see how many nights you can stay alive while shambling packs of zombies threaten to overwhelm you. Wherever and whatever you choose to fight, you'll have to use all of your skills and wits to keep from getting ripped to shreds. Got a little time to burn? Fire up Minigore and see how high a score you can rack up! Supports MFi, XBox, and PlayStation Controllers - A Wild Cast: Besides our heroic protagonist, you can choose to play as Hook Champ's Jake, the shotgun-wielding Enviro-Bear, Santa, and even a mob of penguins! - Simple Controls: Move with your left thumb and shoot with your right. It's the perfect set-up for blasting baddies while on the run! - Guns Galore: Pick up shotguns, grenade launchers, machine guns, and more to use against the enemy hordes. Got one gun? Why not grab a second one? - Be the Monster: Grab three lucky clovers and you'll temporarily change into an invincible hulking beast. - Multiple Locations: Head to a spooky forest, duke it out in a snow-covered field, or challenge a zombie-infested cemetery! ************************************************** GameClub is a subscription mobile gaming service.

    Interesting results. I'm really surprised that so many people voted for Minigore and Doodle Jump seeing as they're so casual. Not really surprised that Lab 2 and iBlast are the winners but NOVA placed surprisingly high considering the fact that it's being panned a bit on its thread.

    Well you guys voted so here we are. Don't moan that such and such game should have won. There were far fewer votes than I anticipated. I'm retiring this poll until maybe later when interest will perk up again. Thanks to those that bothered to vote and please link to this thread so people can use it to find new games, look back on 09 or look for inspiration or whatever.

    Glad Spider made it; that game's been pretty fun.

    Looks like I need to pick up Jet Car Stunts. Been debating it for a while.

    It's quite obvious that, seeing from the rather odd and single-sided results, only a tiny portion of the population in this forum had any interest in voting. The rest either weren't interested or had futile attempts at bringing actually deserving games into the light.
    It's funny not a single RPG made it to the list, while something mindless like Minigore did. Oh well at least iBlast Moki made it to the top of the list, as well as Spider and NOVA. Those are the only three I would agree in your list.

    I am truly puzzled that people would give this thread 1 star. 8-16 TA'ers telling you that X was their favorite game of the entire year is valuable information.

    Sure, its not a large enough numbers to be statistically valid, but its easily large enough to tell you that the games are worth a look, if you havent done so already. YOU may hate a game or two on the list, but that is to be expected -- people are not the same -- and would be true of any "top" list. You might also discover that a game on the list that you passed by is something that you really end up loving, even if it isnt your normal genre.

    Votes like this often cause me to take a look at games I passed by for one reason or another, even though I already knew they were liked by TA'ers. (For instance, I have been wavering on jet car stunts, since I dont normally like racing games.)

    One star says the thread isnt worth a look, which is plainly just wrong.

    Thank you Camzy, I appreciate the effort.

    Just be happy that Minigore's not at the TOP of the list. At least some of the users on this forum are finally gaining valid opinions.

    I feel that Nova is the best game out of the bunch.
    I've been playing the multiplayer quite a bit and they did a great job with it - reminds me of the fun days I had playing Counterstrike and Quake III on the PC.
    I feel honored to be in this list. Thanks to everyone who voted for us.

    The two 9th's (ravensword and minigore) got the same number of votes a
    s the two 7th's (SIIG and RR) so shouldn't there really be four 7th's?

    There has never been any heated debate on if Ravensword is an RPG or not. It's not an RPG, as proven by both the developers and the players. If you think it's an RPG then you need to go play some basic RPGs to get a grasp of its basic elements.

    What games do you call an RPG on this platform, then, Aurora?

    Thanks ArtNJ. Actually, there were close to like 300 votes. It's just that there are so many games that only a few were voted for more than twice. I'd say the poll is statistically valid especially if you consider the honourable mentions who missed out by only a few votes.

    People giving this thread a 1 star make me a bit sad though. I put a lot of effort into this and it's probably the closest thing to a voted top 10 we're going to get on TA.

    An app that is voted as 1. on a users list gets a special 1st place vote.

    RR and SIIG got 8 votes each none were 1st place votes.
    Minigore and Ravensword got 7 votes each and 1 first place vote.

    RR and SIIG actually received more physical votes so deserve a place as tied 7th rather than 9th.

    I'd say Zenonia, The Quest and Wolfenstein RPG are good examples of RPGs.

    I'm inclined to agree with you Aurora. People saying Ravensword are an RPG haven't really played the game or any other RPGs. It's an action game with very few RPG elements. PocketGamer slammed it as not having good RPG elements, when it doesn't really intend to. The game isn't a strict RPG and is more an Action/Adventure game with a few RPG elements.

    You're not serious right?
    Well just in case you've been left out in the world of RPGs...

    No I'm not a girl (already said it many times). Yes I have a rather feminine name on the surface glance, I had my reasons for choosing this one at the time of registration though.
