Addition: TouchArcade plays the winning games
Hi all!
We are very pleased to announce the six winning games of the Defold GDC competition. But before so; I’d just like to, once again, express my deepest gratitude to you all for participating. The number of entries increased manyfold this year, compared to last year’s competition. And the Defold community has once again created fun, weird, high-quality, sometimes scary, intriguing, creative games—and even though we unfortunately this year could only have six winning games; don’t stop working on your game if you believe in it.
So without further ado: here are the six winning games with no internal order.
