There were three winners in all, with a pool of 15 finalists up for prizes which included Tango devices, free tickets for Google I/O 2017, and Google ad campaign support. The winners were announced and are now available on Google Play to download and enjoy on your Android device.
Ten judges in total oversaw the event including an array of luminaries from Google including the Google Play Chief Game Designer Noah Falstein, Google Play Business Development manager Hyunse Chang, as well as industry partners and creators of successful Google Play titles such as Lina Chen, Co-founder & CEO of Nix Hydra the creator of Egg Baby and Egg!, as well as David Edery, CEO of Spry Fox, the studio behind titles such as Triple Town, Alphabear, Steambirds, Bushido Bear, Realm of the Mad God and Road Not Taken.
