One Hand Clapping wins in Zürich

One Hand Clapping

On Saturday, 2 February the Nordic Game Discovery Contest caravan arrived in Switzerland to host the third season’s thirteenth NGDC qualifier.

Zürich was the city and Ludicious the event, with the three selected contestants delivering a great battle in front of a live audience and panel of judges including industry veterans Kate Edwards, Kathleen Evers, Saku Lethinen and Mikael Haveri.

The jury had a great time peppering the contestants with pointed questions, which led to a few split decisions over the four qualifying rounds. In the end, US developer Bad Dream Games took the top spot with their game One Hand Clapping, an innovative a 2D puzzle platformer where players sing into a microphone to solve musical puzzles and change the game world around them.

Big congrats to Bad Dream Games and see you at the NGDC Grand Finals at NG19 in May! Also warm thanks to Ludicious for welcoming the NGDC again to Zürich.
