@Gamelover456 you can't make claims like "known as one of the best math games of 2013" without facts to back that claim. It just makes the whole thing look silly.

That being said, good luck in this months competition.

@dgackey
Just a thought, you should let us vote for the winner this time around. After you get all the participants just run a poll and feature them all in there. Let us decide the game of the year.

@Braydon_SFX Your Knights K'west is still probably my favorite on this list thus far. Ever since I saw it a while back I have been impressed with its graphics and gameplay. So simplistic, but I like it

. Not saying just yet that you would have my vote if they did a poll, but thus far you have it :P.

@imGua I'm really digging your game Sector Zero. It looks cool and definitely an interesting concept. Keep it up. If I may offer a suggestion however, I think your hack screen could use a small face lift. Did you do the art for the game? If so you are definitely talented and that screen wants your talent to poke it. It really isn't a big deal just something I saw in the video that might make your game even better looking all around.

Excellent work all around to all participants

. I can see the blood, sweat, and tears.

Thanks man. It really was an act of love. Both Chris and I put some serious work into it, as do all other developers. I wanted it to be extremely fast and smooth, which is why I took the extra time to create the entire game on one scene.

I believe it's one of the best we've launched on the App Stores. I'm glad to hear you're still enjoying it.

SQU4RE - extreme minimalistic

Squ4re 1.02 with Game Center leaderboard is now available from AppStore!

Current best time is 2:11!

Customer Reviews from AppStore:

5/5 "Great game with perfect controls. So simple yet so beautifully done."

5/5 "….in a square hole. That's really all there is to this little beauty. It gets faster and faster though and the game centre leaderboards make it very highly competitive. Played in 2 minute chunks here and there it's an absolute peach."

5/5 "Beautiful game, perfect controls, great for getting "in the zone". Like Super Hexagon but simpler and more calming."

KevinCross · December 2013

I'd like to introduce my second completed GameSalad game called MineScroller, one that I'm hoping is better than my first Doodle Kicks

It's basically a Minesweeper game but played on endless scrolling plane (well until you trip a mine of course), with a few bonus items thrown in the mix to make it a little different.

There's a few things I plan to re-write in the next version as well as a few graphic improvements but otherwise I'm quite chuffed with it!

And some blurb!

**Your Air Supply is running out! Again!**
A new spin on the infinite runner that melds out of this world retro music and graphics with modern gameplay!

Armed with a limited supply of Smart Bombs, and dwindling air, Sam must jump over enemies, avoid UFO tractor beams and handle asteroids as he searches for the legendary Infinity Cups!

The eight cups remain hidden across seven planets and one black hole, their strange inscriptions long since forgotten and their locations reverently protected.

Use your skill to outwit and avoid your enemies! When it gets too much, a single Smart Bomb will destroy all Sam's enemies and fill his air supply up to half.

Careful use of Smart Bombs is essential when exploring the 8 locations that are host to the Infinity Cups...

Can you find all the cups? Will you see the future?

Get ready for your new addiction!
