YoYo Games also mentioned that the details for the next competition will be announced in very near future.
I played the Hive, don’t know why that game won. It was glitchy, gameplay wasn’t smooth, and it felt boring after a while.
It would have been nice for YYG to give a little review/reasoning for the winning games and a few words about the runners-ups like in previous competition results announcements.
Didn’t you hear? They’re trying to be more transparent.
The Hive was a pretty good game, I haven’t played the other 2 yet, but I am gonna open them now
Meh. WARP’s concept has been used already; namely, in Wrapple.
By ‘already’ read ‘recently’ because I think that’s a better measure of originality then ‘already’.
The other two are absolutely brilliant though.
