“We were delighted by the response to our previous contest and we’re excited to see what amazing games are submitted this time around,” said Nadav Ashkenazy, GM of Supersonic. “Beyond the games submitted in the contest, however, what we’re really interested in is creating a truly transparent and long-term relationship with developers who work with us. Developers who publish with us enjoy our white box approach to publishing, which is based on the premise of sharing as much knowledge and data as possible to empower developers to hone their craft and get better at creating successful chart-topping games over the long-term.”

To qualify for the prize money, the game should be created on Android, have no more than 10k downloads, and must be a game not previously tested with Supersonic. For the $200,000 and $150,000 prizes, the game will receive the prize money once they are fully published, regardless of the number of downloads the game receives. For the referral program, the developer who has been referred must not have previously tested a game with Supersonic. All games must be submitted to the Superstars contest by June 15th 2021.
