Give these indies some love from the Google Play Indie Games Festival

Google Play has once again concluded its annual Indie Games Festival, celebrating all things indie and highlighting the passion and creativity of these smaller studios in a virtual event. The showcase also hailed handpicked studios that will be privileged enough to join Google's Indie Games Accelerator, where these devs will enjoy exclusive mentorship across a 10-week virtual program.

Without further ado, here are the winners of the Google Play Indie Games Festival 2022:
