SteamBirds Wins Grand Prize At IndiePub's Mobile Games Competition

Art: Plexxr for iOS (Tactile Media) - "Plexxr is a stimulating visual puzzle game with an extraterrestrial twist. Designed to challenge and appeal to the senses, it is not about simply solving the puzzles, but figuring out how to solve them. Its consistent presentation and style permeates to the smallest details, from the muted colors to the shapes of the alien runes."

Audio: Spark It Up for Android (sumiguchi) - "Spark it Up combines the visual wonders of a fireworks show with musical gameplay, which creates the sense of playing an instrument in an orchestra of light and animation. Even when the gameplay increases in challenge, the audio remains whimsically musical."

Design: Skwer for iOS (Alebrije Studios) - "Skwer's few simple mechanics and complex puzzles gradually emerge and draw the player into this surprisingly deep and addicting puzzle game."

Technical Excellence: Hero Mages for Android (D20Studios) - "Hero Mages is an online turn-based strategy game with deep tactical gameplay and interesting team-based combat. Its ability to connect to multiple players on different platforms, along with its full-fledged lobby and matchmaking system, proves its technical feat."
