Reason for the Honorable Mention / Individual Award
- Criterion for selection
Since this is the Individual Award newly established in 2014 and its awarded work to find new game creating talent, I put an emphasis on innovative idea for individual (indie game creator).
From this year, a theme has been set and it is "movement" this year.
I also considered the point how the work is in line with this theme.
Finally, as a matter of course, fun and touch as a game are important factors,
I considered such point.
- Ground for the selection
Based on the above viewpoints, I have selected "Numbers and shooting starts" for the following reasons.
[Originality of the idea]
The idea of a puzzle using graphs of mathematics has never been seen and new as an idea.
[Consistency with the theme]
Moving stars twinkling as responding to the player's operation is very beautiful and it's fun just touching and moving them.
[Appeal as a game]
The rules for the game is simple and operation is intuitive, people from children to adult can enjoy as soon as they download the application.
As a smart phone application developed by an individual, it has an appropriate size and the level is high, I chose the work.
