Congrats to TwO Bros. Games! Their submission Climb to the Top of the Castle rose to the top of the judges hearts to beat out over 120 other submissions to claim the top prize.The judging was real tough but in the end the platform gameplay and unique look and style won them over.
The developers behind TwO Bros. Games, brothers Timothy and Orion Arata of Arizona, describe Climb to the Top of the Castle as “an old-school inspired action-platformer with one-hit kills and a limited number of lives to make it to the top of the Warlock's Castle and save the Princess.”
Thousands of voters participated in the second iteration of 2BeeGames’ Indie Game Competition, which called upon aspiring developers to submit new and original games on 2BeeGames.com for judging. Once uploaded, the 2BeeGames.com community had the opportunity to play, rate, and provide feedback for each game. Enduring several rounds of voting and eliminations, Climb to the Top of the Castle has emerged victorious and is recognized as the top submission by the judges of 2BeeGames.com.
In addition to the $10,000 in prize money, Zoo Games, Inc. will offer a publishing deal to TwO Bros.Games.
Community favorite, Vector Conflict: The Siege from Dig Your Own Grave Games, will receive $5,000 for its submission.
Our second indie game competition saw an increase in submissions and much greater participation from the community. The developers took the competition to another level, making the judging and elimination process that much more difficult. Once again, the Hive was fantastic in showing its support and love for independent games by showing up in droves to submit games, play,vote and ultimately choose the next great indie title.
Congrats to both winners, I hope everyone enjoyed this competition. We are open to ideas on improving future ones and of course may look to sign other games that didn't win was well.
Congrats! Climb to the Top of the Castle would have been my pick as well.
Congragulations! That was a really good game! man after it went down in the voting i wasn't expecting it to win but this is great! Really well done!
Congratulations ! Hoping to see Climb To The Top of The Castle on XBLA 
And Nice Job to Vector Conflict, original game 
BRAVO aux 2 lauréats 
Congrats to both games and all of the top finalists! We will be making the actual physical awards soon and presenting some other fun awards for other games in the contest. Vote on which consoles you would like to see them on and also tell us what other games would be great to bring over.
Congrats to the winners, but also to all the finalists as they put a lot of effort into their games.
Hope to see more great contests here.
Well said Nika. We had a great group of finalists and it was hard for the judges to pick just 1 winner. Actually it was tough even picking the top 10! 
I think Climb to the Top of the Castle will make an awesome console game. Can't wait to see it!
And TURBA is just screaming to be made into an iPhone game. You guys should definitely consider that ;)
It's a very exciting time guys, congrats to all the contestants!
congrats to "Climb to the Top of the Castle". well deserved :D hope 2 see more games from u guyz.
Congrats to both winners you both deserve it!
And @DigYourOwnGrave after we release Turba on the PC in the coming months we will most likely be pursuing a mobile version of the game for andriod and iPhone.
Well done everyone! All the finalists deserved to be there!
I hope the next one is soon - I finally have another game ready ... only a few months late ...
WOW! congratulations to climb and vector conflict. both very good games in their own right
Great thanks to everybody who congratulated us on winning the contest!
It's great whenever you get recognition of all the hard work you put into something!
Wow I really didnt expect vector conflict to make it anywhere near the top... the style doesnt seem that popular/wanted in the gaming community much *shrugs* Seems like a battlezone ripoff to me...
