2BeeGames Declares Winner of 2nd Indie Competition
2BeeGames.com, the premier online community for independent games, celebrated the conclusion of its 2nd Indie Games Competition by awarding developer TwO Bros. Games with the contest's grand prize of $10,000 and a publishing contract for Climb to the Top of the Castle. The winning game beat out over 120 other submissions to claim the top prize.
The developers of TwO Bros. Games, brothers Timothy and Orion Arata of Arizona, describe Climb to the Top of the Castle as “an old-school inspired action-platformer with one-hit kills and a limited number of lives to make it to the top of the Warlock's Castle and save the Princess.”
Thousands
of voters participated in the second iteration of 2BeeGames’
Indie Game Competition, which called upon aspiring developers to
submit new and original games on
2BeeGames.com
for judging. Once uploaded, the
2BeeGames.com
community had the opportunity to play, rate, and provide
feedback for each game. Enduring several rounds of voting and
eliminations, Climb to the Top of the Castle has
emerged victorious and is recognized as the top submission by
the judges of
2BeeGames.com.
In addition to the $10,000 in prize money, Zoo Games, Inc. will offer a publishing deal to TwO Bros.Games. Community favorite, Vector Conflict: The Siege from Dig Your Own Grave Games, will receive $5,000 for its submission.
“Our second indie game competition saw an increase in submissions and much greater participation from the community," said Tony Tran, community manager (“Beekeeper”) for 2BeeGames. “The developers took the competition to another level, making the judging and elimination process that much more difficult. Once again, the Hive was fantastic in showing its support and love for independent games by showing up in droves to submit games, play,vote and ultimately choose the next great indie title.”
While the 2nd Indie Games Competition has concluded, all of the submissions from the competition remain playable online and are available for download at 2BeeGames.com.
