Our ears have been burning here at Little Worlds as The Counting Kingdom has been nominated for multiple awards in the past few months!
International Mobile Gaming Awards
Nomination for: Best Meaningful Play
The IMGA celebrates "the most original, skillfully crafted and enjoyable games made for smartphones and tablets." Jenna will be attending the awards ceremony in March, so keep your fingers crossed for us!
National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers
Nomination for: Original Family Game
NAVGTR is a non-profit organization devoted to "promoting and recognizing the developments and achievements of the interactive entertainment industry." The Counting Kingdom is one of only three games nominated in its category - we're in excellent company with Hohokum and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake!
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that The Counting Kingdom was included in a number of Game of the Year posts for 2014! Engaged Family Gaming listed The Counting Kingdom as their #3 game, saying:
“The Counting Kingdom, we hope, represents a paradigm shift in design for educational games moving forward.. If this is an indicator for the future of the genre then the future is very bright.”
I couldn't imagine any higher praise! The Counting Kingdom was also an honorable mention in the NWCN top 10 Game of the Year List, and our dear friend Ken at IndieSider had the game as a runner-up for Desktop Game of the Year.
We are so honored by the ongoing recognition of The Counting Kingdom!
