Ánimo Games Studio's cosmic puzzler Star Stuff wins the Very Big Indie Pitch in Seattle

pcgamesinsider.biz:

Recently Pocket Gamer Connects packed its bags and headed back to the United States for Pocket Gamer Connects Seattle. This also meant the return of The Very Big Indie Pitch. The Very Big Indie Pitch is our bumper edition competition where even more developers can pitch an ever-increasing range of brand-new and diverse gaming experiences from some of the most exciting indie developers from across the globe.

The Big Indie Pitch is a regular event run by the makers of PCGamesInsider.biz. It gives indie developers the chance to pitch their games to industry experts and journalists in a speed-dating-style format. Teams receive valuable feedback and the opportunity to win great prizes such as promotional packages and opportunities to promote their game.

As always, the competition – with 21 games pitched – was extremely tough. However, eventually, the judges were able to settle on a top three and ultimately one worthy winner.

All in all, one thing is for sure: all of our finalists, which you can learn more about below, are more than worthy of highlighting.

1st Place -  Star Stuff by Ánimo Games Studio

Star Stuff is a relaxing puzzle automation game that mixes bot programming with real-time antics. Ever since the Big Bang, Starliens have been crafting and creating the very cosmos we see in the night sky, including shooting stars, solar systems and even the possibility of life. Of course, this kind of creation requires a factory, and luckily for Mija, they're about to start their first day at the Star Factory as they work as an engineer combining blazing clouds of hydrogen and stardust.

Starting from an entry-level position, you must help Mija to the top through thoughtfully-curated challenges and mind-bending puzzles. Though
