What Judges Are Looking For

The Best Game Award is for a mobile game that feels fun, polished, and thoughtfully monetized. Judges are looking for strong gameplay, a clear art direction, and a monetization model that fits the genre instead of fighting it.

Your game does not need to be huge. It should feel coherent, playable, and convincing as a shipped experience.

What To Include

• A description of the core gameplay loop.
• Notes on the art direction, tone, and what makes the game memorable.
• An explanation of how the monetization model fits the genre and player experience.
• A demo video that shows real gameplay on the device the game was built for.
