Four games made by companies housed in Dutch Game Garden have been nominated for one or more Dutch Game Awards. These are Fingle (Game Oven), Awesomenauts (Ronimo Games), Kids vs Goblins (Stolen Couch Games) and Iron Grip: Marauders (ISOTX).
Awesomenauts by Ronimo Games received five nominations and is therefore the biggest contender. The game has been nominated in the categories Best Visual Design, Best Original Game Design, Best Game Animation, Best PC/Console Game and the Control Industry Award. iPad-game Fingle by Game Oven has been nominated for Best Casual Game, Best Original Game Design, Best Mobile Game and the Control Industry Award. Not bad for the first title by a new game company.
Kids vs Goblins by Stolen Couch Games received a nomination in the category Best Music & Audio Design.
Iron Grip: Marauders by ISOTX got nominated for Best Online Game.
