Google Announces 2022 Indie Games Festival Winners

By Yama

Indie games are one of the most enjoyed game genres across platforms as they bring out something new and are made with hard work and creativity. So it’s important to appreciate the developers for the effort they put into their games without the support of a big, well-known studio.

The Indie Games Festival 2022 event is an event officially organized by the Google Play Store that rewards the best games released for Android in certain regions. However, for the 2022 event, the winner of the Indie Games Festival has been announced.
