A lot of great games have been released within the past year. As you all know WWDC 2014 is close by and a number of apps would have the honors of being crowned with Apple Design Awards. What games do you think are most likely to take this years award and why?
What ones do you think then ? Any games you like ? I think Monument Valley will get a lot of attention
I am with you on that. Thumbs up for Monument Valley. Though I believe other games like Blek and Bicolor also have a good chance.
I'd guess Threes would be a strong contender. It is a brilliantly designed indie game that was screwed over by rampant cloning, but managed to rally support among gamers who appreciate quality over price. Basically, it fits exactly the same pattern as Ridiculous Fishing, which is a previous winner.
Is the Design Award more focused on audiovisual design elements or gameplay design? I assume it's the formeranother likely candidate along with the ones mentioned above would be Device 6. But if it's the latter, here's hoping 868-Hack gets recognized.
Yeah Device 6 is a great example of games with unique game design. Monument Valley is another good choice. Republique may be a good option too.
I must admit to being a little disappointed Exact-Psience didn't mention an endless runner. Hard to top MVP and Device 6 for innovative and polished design, though, I agree. Even if D6 was a game I respected and admired more than I enjoyed playing.
Monument Valley was the first game I thought of when reading "Apple Design Awards", but I hope Threes! gets that honor. After the undeserved success of that brainless wonder 2048, and it's permanent spot on the charts, I'd love to see Threes! get some deserved attention.
