The Norwegian Game Awards 2010 is over. A lot of interesting games were showed at the games expo, and the many winners of their category was rather impressive. We won the “Best Concept Award”, which (besides the cash) gives us the inspiration and morale needed to get going and start working for real on the project. The event was extraordinary, with lots and lots of nice people, awesome games, and of course the stormtroopers! We would love to return to the event next year, hopefully battling for the Game of the Year award!
” It was a close race against Noah’s Archive, but in the end Garbalicious won thanks to its focus on basic playability and peculiar mood-setting graphics. The chosen visual style allows the action to move in numerous different directions while still delivering a very consistent experience, and the entire jury were instantly hooked by the promise of enormous bosses as part of the 2D landscape itself. Garbalicious has a strong potential to become one of those games you keep playing just to see how the scenery changes. Our main recommendation for further development is to ensure that the “flip-screen” mechanics become an integral part of the game play rather than just a gimmick. And that we get bosses, lots and lots of huge bosses!”
