🏆 Creator Monthly Prize Fund Winners — July
We’re very excited to announce our first Creator Monthly Prize Fund winners!
Since our launch on the 1st of July, we’ve had an incredible array of games published, each overflowing with creativity. It has been exciting for all of us on the team to watch our community of creators learn and grow, pouring their ideas and passion into the games they craft.
From role playing to sports, parkour to wacky shooters; we have seen a great variety of genres in our kick-off month, and these winners represent the community’s favourites.
For details on how the winners are calculated, check out our Prize Fund developer page.
Without further delay, here are July’s winners of the Creator Monthly Prize Fund, which you can also watch over on YouTube:
#8 — The Straw Saga
Creator: Endeavour
Prize: $1000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/K7ETJDH6
A game absolutely packed with features and content, The Straw Saga has already evolved over the month with two large updates. The game combines a well-designed escape room, a comical RPG with quests and even a stealth action section where you must sneak past patrolling scarecrows.
#7—Explore The Tower
Creator: Wolfineer
Prize: $1000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/XURPWKYB
One of the first games published in Crayta, Explore The Tower is a charmingly designed platformer where you explore and climb the ruins of an ancient tower. For those who manage to make it to the top, a cheesy secret awaits!
#6 — Five a Side Furious Football
Creator: ChrisUK
Prize: $1000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/5Q6FCE8W
Five a Side Furious Football is one of the most popular sports games in Crayta, a great recreation of the Beautiful Game. A modest and well-used pitch brilliantly captures the spirit of a casual game of football in the park on a summer’s evening.
#5 — FFA Cuban Warfare Remastered
Creator: Iceland
Prize: $1000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/5Q6FCE8W
Making fantastic use of visual and sound design, Cuban Warfare pits rebels against each other in a dense and lucious jungle environment which pays close attention to details. Impressively, the game was made almost entirely with a controller in Crayta’s Basic Mode!
#4 — NukeTown Gun Game
Creator: ATexe
Prize: $1000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/5Q6FCE8W
Nuketown provides a well designed and balanced map where players get increasingly outlandish weapons as the game progresses. From pistols and hunting rifles up to laser cannons and rocket launchers, this game provides a satisfying range of weapons and longevity.
#3 — YaBoyTwiz’s Battle of the Sun
Creator: YaBoyTwiz
Prize: $2000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/5Z3PEPAV
A bizarre twist on the Gun Game template, YaBoyTwiz drops you into a tunnel-filled arena armed with voxel chickens, bananas that go “pew pew” and a very sharp spatula. Just to keep you on your toes, a titanic Angry Sun also slowly bears down on the area, dropping instant-kill obstacles during the match.
#2 — Escape Room 2.0
Creator: MatteoC
Prize: $3000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/3GGVEED8
A solo-friendly twist on the escape room genre, Escape Room 2.0 places a series of infuriatingly well-designed puzzles between you and freedom. The game is designed in such a way that you can play through the tricky-yet-clever puzzles by yourself. Combining a hall of mirrors, light puzzles and secret hidden doors, this is a great game to enjoy alone or with friends.
#1 — The Floor is Lava
Creator: BryantChappel
Prize: $5000
Play now: https://launch.crayta.com/play/8ZAP5KZ9
Our first place winner is Bryant Chappel’s The Floor Is Lava - A wonderfully reimagined take on the classic genre, this game has you sprinting and leaping across lovingly crafted levels covered in the titular molten rock. Racing against the clock, this is a great game for speedrunners and platformer enthusiasts alike.
Bryant even has a The Floor Is Lava game show on YouTube!
