Voting hasn't even started yet and nominating goes on until Undeadcow takes the tally and posts the poll for voting. Which doesn't normally happen until Monday. So nominate away.
My nominations: Nozoku Rush (Check this out if you like action puzzle games. It's really good. From the dev of Silverfish) Bloo Kid 2 Smash Hit
1path got pulled, and it'll be released again sometime on May My nominations: Smash hit Wave wave Doggins
Thanks, Copaeci; I removed 1Path from the original post as it's ineligible due to rapidly being pulled. Last call to edit nominations with a replacement if you previously included 1Path.

There's a 5 game limit on nominations.
Great week. Great games. And an amazing week for fans of traditional platformers. Not only did Miss Claire Garden get a fantastic update, but Bloo Kid 2 unexpectedly blew me away. So against all the competition, I have to give it to BK2 because I consider it to be among the top tier of traditional platformers that unfortunately have taken a backseat to speed platformers on iOS in recent years. Wave Wave, Smash Hit, Block Legend and Alphadia Genesis all deserve honorable mentions and I wouldn't mind if any of those won either. Devious Dungeons is a step back to form for Ravenous Games, but didn't quite live up to its potential (though I hope updates change that with things like more weapon variety, etc.). Still on the fence on Mines of Mars, not being a big fan of Terraria/Minecraft games, but it still has my interest piqued and is on my wish list.
You guys narrowed it down to two for me... Wave Wave is discarded since it will have many votes, also was a TA GOTW and a really positive review is coming soon... Block Legend is also fun but is the least I played (living under the shadow of Dungeon Raid for me, DR is killer I regret not buying it before). I feel dumb playing Nozuku Rush so that's a no So Im torn between Mines of Mars and MicroTrip. Mines of Mars is developing at a perfect pace and its a joy to play gathering new resources to dig deeper and reach new areas and story bits... Im actually surprised I find so much joy I find in digging, those metroidvania elements keeps me coming back over and over again, is the game I am playing now non stop. And the other one is Microtrip, is just plain pure fun based on skill. Hmmm I guess MoM is a bit ahead from what I said.
There is a reason I don't let anyone other than me use my iPad, any daughter asked to check something on google because her dad was on her device so I said sure, forgot I'd left thread open and she must have somehow voted micro trip on my behalf lol. I would have gone with wave wave. Actually little bugger probably deliberately voted when she saw page open cos she loves micro trip.
I voted Nozoku Rush (the poll says Nozuku, but it's Nozoku, just in case anyone searches for the game and cannot find it). I really love it. It has been a while since I was addicted to an iOS game. Don't dismiss this if you didn't love the original Nozoku. I sucked at that and love this. It's a totally different game.
LOL. I haven't gotten it but now I want to know how it ends. May take a peek at your spoiler tagged post in that thread. On a side note, voting is low, but it's nice to see no one game is really blowing out the others. IMO, that speaks to the quality of the releases last week. Either on iOS or Android, I have about 10 or 11 just from last week and there wasn't one that I didn't like.
Same here, great week, thought Wave Wave was going to be it but now I wonder which one will win. MoM is still great to play with all those metroidvania elements and the exploration. But that ending...
