Mobile games dominated the winners' stage at 2015's Independent Games Festival Awards.
Held at GDC in San Francisco, the awards aim to celebrate the best in indie game design.
80 Days was first up and scooped the Excellence in Narrative award. The steampunkish fiction had led the mobile pack with multiple nominations, ultimately receiving recognition for Inkle's unique approach to interactive storytelling.
Metamorphabet - Vectorpark's educational alphabet game on iOS - also gained recognition for the Excellence in Visual Art category, while Ephemerid: A Musical Adventure won Excellence in Audio.
This year's Nuovo Award went to Nathalie Lawhead's Tetrageddon Games.
Since the category celebrates abstract and unconventional games, Lawhead's open source parody of digital life was lauded for its originality in engouraging players to build bizarre creations through downloadable source files.
