OUR cake is not a lie
Don't believe it? Here you go:
And why, you wonder?
That's right, we've been bringing you great games since March 2011*
We started off as a somewhat crazy project by four former masters students looking to do the indie thing and develop videogames. Looking back at those times and all the effort we've put into BeautiFun, it's hard to overstate our satisfaction! Sure there have been bumps on the road, but every time we think of all you people who've had a minute of fun because of Nihilumbra, we know it has been damn worth it!
And the best is yet to come! Behold our team celebrating our future Huge Success:
To all you guys and girls, thank you very much for playing our games! And if you still haven't, then GO FOR IT NOW (preferably, buy them first).
But look at us talking while there are games to be done!
Now back to work - so that we can release on time!
-The BeautiFun Games Team
* Well, admittedly it's been just one game, BUT it was amazing, wasn't it? And then we're indies, baby. Anyway, this cake is great.
It's because BeautiFun Games has just turned 2 years old!

on screen, Aniol has experiments to run - and Jordi... he's still alive.

We the Beautifunners,
Having lots of [Beauti]fun at the Best App Ever Awards
Sometimes we get prizes.
And sometimes we get a beer and a good time, like last night at the Best App Ever Awards 2012.
The ceremony was sponsored by Free App Slots and held at Barcelona's well-known club Luz de Gas. The place was packed with developers, publishers and other game-related party animals.
Nihilumbra was nominated in the Most Innovative Game category. No mean feat, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Eufloria (Omni Systems Limited) or Waking Mars (Tiger Style). Of course we were totally wowed to be in such company, and we didn't mind a bit that the prize went (very deservedly) to The Act (Chillingo). Then, as part of our unwavering commitment to beautiFun, we partied.
We met a lot of old and new friends from the industry - and had a blast. Pluuuus... (wait for it)... we made some cool pictures so you get the chance to meet the team in its REAL natural environment and doing The Real Thing.

Jordi, Artist and Ninja*

I guess the post title says everything. Nihilumbra has been choosen as iOS game of the year by Gaming Illustrated. It took us for surprise as the other nominees of the iOS category were also really good games. So... without further delay... here's the digital trophy!!!
Gaming Illustrated has been talking about videogame for all platforms for a long time. It has an independent and honest point of view, which makes us even more proud of the award.
Thanks!
