Mobile indie games really don’t get a chance to shine very often, and yes, I know: that is partially my fault too for not giving them more coverage. Hopefully, this here article will make up for that, if only in some small way, focused entirely on this year’s Google Play Indie Games Festival finalists!
Sure, the COVID-19 situation means the Finals – originally planned on April 25 in Warsaw (Poland), Tokyo (Japan), and Seoul (South Korea) – will be postponed, but I’m sure Google will come up with a proper groovy alternative (streaming has become be the go-to for many similar cases, for example). That said, the picks for this particular lineup are still quite the impressive lot, so without further ado, these are the Google Play Indie Games Festival 2020 finalists, complete with store links to each and every game:
