On Thursday, 13th February, at Saatchi Gallery in London, we hosted the final event of the second Google Play Indie Games Contest in Europe. 20 finalists came from 12 countries to showcase their games to an excited room of gamers, industry experts and press. Selected based on the votes of the attendees and the Google Play team, the Top 10 pitched in front of a jury who chose the top winners. Big congratulations to everyone, especially to the winner - Bury Me, My Love - and the runners up - Old Man's Journey and Yellow.
It’s been really inspiring to see the enthusiasm around the contest, and the quality and creativity of the indie games developed across the eligible European countries. Many thanks again to everyone who entered the contest. We can’t wait to see the amazing games that you will create this year to delight Android users!
