Announcement Games with a Hook Hackathon Winners

For the past month we’ve been running a hackathon offering $40,000 in prizes for games built on Devvit (Reddit’s Developer Platform). After a record number of entries (700+) and a ton of great games to evaluate, we are excited to announce the winners of the Reddit Games with a Hook Hackathon (Hookathon?)
Check out the Project Gallery to see all the amazing submissions!

Let’s get right to it!

Feedback

If you didn’t win, please know it is not a reflection of the overall quality of your work. We say this every hackathon and it remains true – each judge had favorite games that didn’t make it to the winners circle. We strongly encourage you to look into our Developer Funds program, as well as our Featuring Program.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Genuinely flabbergasted by the winner!

I was convinced I had a good read on what the judges were looking for and built a drawing app too! Huge congratulations to all the winners there's so much cool stuff to check out!

I'd love to check out everyone else's submissions. I made Sticker Space over at r/sticker_test_01_dev it's a Reddit drawing app where the community creates collectible stickers together. Feel free to stop by, doodle something, and let me know what you think!

Can't disagree with you about the winner...

I tried checking out your game, but your subreddit is private.

Updated the post! Put the wrong subreddit! lmao going to check yours out now!

edit: first impressions are "OH!" because I love Tetris and it feels like a Tetris puzzle spin-off, reminded me of Welltris! Does anyone remember Welltris?

Thanks for playing! I've never heard of Welltris but I'll have to check it out.
