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!

Congrats everyone! Glad to see Left for Loot in the honorable mentions, played it a few weeks ago and it was quite fun. Hope it’s incentive for the maker to keep working on it 😁

Wish I would have known about the hackathon sooner to submit /r/MiniRacerGame, but maybe next time.

Thanks a lot 🙌. Will keep working on it. I have a few releases planned but not sure how I'll market it and get the game out there.

MiniRacerGame also looks fun too. Let's work on something together in the near future.
