Road to Polaris - five Hamburg indies at the convention
Polaris Convention is approaching - 3 days with numerous key players and artists from gaming, e-sports, cosplay, and content creation from October 28 -30. Through our Road to Polaris program, we present five indie developer teams and their games at our joint Gamecity Hamburg Booth and enable them to be part of the Polaris.
At the new community convention Polaris, indie games will be part of the line up of over 250 exhibitors, next to a fully packed program with content creators, international e-sports teams, cosplayers and more. We are happy to finally anounce the five terrific indie game developers, who will be at our Gamecity booth with their games:
OneManOnMars - Leif's Adventure: Netherworld Hero
In this couch co-op 2D action-adventure game about friendship and teamwork, you can play the hero Leif and his ghost friend alone or with a friend and prove that team spirit can overcome all obstacles.
Impawsible Games - Jonah Weingarten's Ninja Brigade
In Ninja Brigade, you're drawn though an arcade station into the game world set in feudal Japan, having to face vicious hordes of enemies in this Metroidvania 2D platformer. Finish the game to return to your world.
Beardshaker Games - Soulitaire
In this 2D-drawn cozy story game, you'll take a look into the future of your guests using the card game Solitaire. Your decisions affect the lives of your friends and guests, so choose wisely!
Curvature Games - The Amusement
In this narrative VR adventure, you'll uncover the story of an abandoned amusement park in the 1920s. With a new VR locomotion technique by Curvature Games, you'll experience a vast virtual world with a room-scale VR setup.
Radioactive Dreams - Turbo Shell
Hold on tight because in this fast-paced sci-fi 2D platformer you play an egg with a unique movement mechanic. Instead of running, you pull and push your way through the levels with a special beam and overcome dangerous obstacles.
You are welcome to play all of these games at our Gamecity Hamburg booth, talk to the indie developers onsite and find out how indie games made in Hamburg are created.
