Another great thing about this game is that it costs like 2 quid. Bargain!
Not sure it would make my GOTY list but certainly a fun game. Not enough people take mobile games seriously enough, so it's good to see one get the recognition it deserves. personaly i played telltale's walking dead on iOS and loved it, but there are a lot of shovelware titles on the appstore.It can be hard to find the diamonds in a mountain of shit.

...I cannot say I was expecting that. I have to go look this game up now.
My prediction for the final two games, The Last of Us and Saints Row IV (Calling it now folks).

Man, super hexagon was among the most frustrating games I've ever played. Not a bad game, mind you, but it sure gets the blood boiling.
I'm predicting Killzone and Saints Row in the final two spots. Looking forward to seeing whatever it is he's picking though.
Would be more surprising if the escapist URL didn't spoil it.
It's good that Vlaimbeer got recognition though, those guys work hard enough as is, without dickheads cloning their games wholesale and selling them alongside Vlaimbeer's material.

... I feel certain that I played a browser based version of this game about 3 years ago (I know it was about 3 years because that's back when I had enough downtime at work to still play browser games).

Ah, I did. Because they sold the adobe flash version of the game in 2010:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridiculous_Fishing
"The company sold the Flash game to a browser games website in 2010 but kept the rights to produce an iOS version, which they would call Ridiculous Fishing.[2] They began production on the iOS version on December 7, 2010, with the intention of a "2012/2013 equivalent" of the original.[3]"

Interesting. They made a lot of graphical improvements but it's still the same game at the core. I'm glad they're doing so well.

This might be a tad embarrassing, but I never correctly guessed what the next game was going to be.MarsAtlas said:
I'm just waiting one day for The Escapist to troll us with a completely different title to the award.
Yeah, Super Hexagon was a great one. This looks fun as well.
As for "fun for all the family" along with the notable presence of the game in the intro, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 3D World is tomorrow's award. Because if it's anything like last year's awards, the Tuesday-Friday intros were nothing but the games that won. So Rayman Legends would be Friday's then.
Or perhaps the positions are switched. Still, chips on those two in any order.

It wasn't made clear in the video if Ridiculous Fishing was an iOS exclusive. Good news, it turns out it isn't: also on Android.
I'm not saying it's a bad concept - far from it - but I saw this and immediately remembered there's a flash game based on the Cartoon Network show "Steven Universe" with pretty much the exact same mechanic, only in reverse: you have to climb a series of platforms as high as you can go while avoiding enemies. Then, when time runs out, you fall back down, this time ramming into every enemy you can. The higher you go, the longer the fall, the more points you can earn.
