Philippine game development firm Anino Games bagged runner-up honors in the casual games category at the International Indie Games Developers Showcase.
Anino is also the only developer from an Asian country to win in the casual games category.
They will win digital security products from Indie Game sponsor ECD systems.
Anino’s game Word Archery bested dozens of other entries from game developers worldwide. Over 100 companies joined the competition, which pits independent developers to develop innovative games for the PC and mobile segment.
The announcement was made on the Indie Games website, though the contest itself was conducted during the Austin Game Developers Conference earlier this month.
A total of 10 finalists were announced for the casual games category and another 10 for the general category.
Fizzball, a game developed by Canadian firm Grubby Games, won the top prize in the casual games category. Other runners-up were Stunt Bike Island by ForgeFX and Baseball Mogul 2008 by Sports Mogul Inc.
Word Archery, the company’s first casual PC game, is a word game where a player shoots floating letters in bubbles using a “word archer” and complete words to reduce the number of bubbles. Players are scored according to the number of words formed.
Anino has already won in international competitions for Anito: Defend a Land Enraged and Anima Wars.
