Google's inaugural Indie Games Contest has been won by Reigns, a mobile medieval swiper decision game where you are the King and must survive the exercise of power and craziness of your advisors. You're only given two choices in each decision - in many ways like Tinder - as you attempt to balance between the influential factions of your kingdom.
Reigns developer, Nerial, beat out 20 other finalists to claim the top prize, including a YouTube influencer campaign worth 50,000 EUR, a feature in an Android Developer Story video promoted on Android Developer / Play Developer channels, Two tickets to attend GDC San Francisco 2017 and Google I/O, Google Cloud Platform Credits ($20,000 USD), a 12 month Unity Pro subscription, two tickets to a Unite event, a month's premium placement on Google Play, and a Pixel C tablet.
Runners Up included The Battle of Polytopia, by Midjiwan AB, and Causality, by Loju.
