    Went with Shadow Blade. Im sure it would either be just Bardbarian or Shadow Blade.

    I havent bought any game this week except Shadow Blade, so that makes my vote singleminded, but hey, im really liking this strict budgeting thingy. Lets me play a lot of my previous purchases. :)

    Really enjoyed both Shadow Blade and Bardbarian. Looks like Bardbarian's going to take the prize so I'll give a nod to Shadow Blade.

    tough decision between 3 great games: Shadow Blade, Bardbarian and Small Fry. My vote goes to the game I spent the most time with and that's Small Fry, although it's freemium I'm having lots of fun with it.

    btw after being a member for more than 4 years and releasing dozens of games I don't get why Josh still votes for his own game.. sorry but I don't get it.

    Yeah, Josh seems like a cool guy but his vote won't count in the final tally because developers/publishers are not allowed to vote for their own games. The Bardbarian - Shadow Blade chasm widens by one vote gone...
     
  13. Shadowblade! Crescent Moons makes some great games!

    ...Especially when it gets brought up here time and again about developers and voting for their own games...

    Technically he's not the developer and it's not his game, but yeah still

    It's a shame Dog Mind is so broken. It's gonna be a real gem when it gets fixed

    No, it's okay. I get what you're saying. But maybe UC can chime in.

    Previously the rules were written so technically only developers could not vote for their own games; but it has been at the above language for about two months explicitly barring publishers from voting for their affiliated products. This change was the result of community discussion/consensus and I believe had always been the intent so...
