Last week was the most competitive week we've seen in a long time for the weekly contest. The now-Kongregate-sponsored Desktop Tower Defense 1.5 was the clear $250 winner when it broke records and became the highest-rated game of all time on Kongregate. Ring Pass Not and Caravaneer were the two $150 runners-up, and it seems like everyone has been playing a lot of both lately.

We regret that we only had three prizes to give out, as this week also happened to see some other truly great games worthy of an honorable mention. Specifically, be sure to check out MindScape, StarShine and Nodes.
