Retail Royale Takes the Crown at the 9th Fan Favorite Vote of the Game Development World Championship!

Retail Royale by DarxDev from Cyprus has won the ninth Fan Favorite Weekly Vote at the Game Development World Championship 2021. The game is “a 12 player Battle Royale inside an off-brand IKEA store, where everything is a weapon; ranging from guns – to literal couches.” according to the developers. Retail Royale is available on Steam Early Access.
DarxDev moves forward in Fan Favorite category, and will face other Weekly Vote winners in the final vote at the end of the GDWC 2021 season.
2nd place was taken by Chrome Switcher by Chrome Switcher from USA: “A puzzle-parkour, color-switching game. Utilize your acrobatic abilities and your color-switching powers to wall jump, slide, and zipline across each level.”
3rd place went to EchoBlade by Sunset Arctic Games from USA: “A puzzle-combat dungeon explorer. You find yourself blind and trapped inside an expansive tower labyrinth. Shrouded in total darkness you must navigate your way to freedom using only sound as your guide.”
