The time is now! We’re excited to announce the winners of the Alibaba Cloud Web Game Challenge.

We were truly impressed by the creative and engaging games submitted to this challenge. Whether you prefer robot-themed adventures, retro-inspired quests, or educational simulations, there was something for everyone.

Without further ado, let’s meet our winners!

Congratulations To…

Alibaba's Robot Worskshop

Players collect parts and assemble custom battle robots in @ivan_manernyi's turn-based combat game.

Not only is the game fun, but it offers a multilingual interface, making it more accessible to a global audience!

Robonaut’s Quest

@fm brought us a nostalgic adventure through a retro-style game that combines exploration and strategy.

We loved the captivating gameplay and well-executed graphics!

HermitonL-01

@kafechew introduced us to HermitonL-01, a 3D game that blends educational elements with Bitcoin and a drop-style roulette mechanic.

It’s a unique concept that stands out for its creativity and execution.

      Wow! Thank you all so so much - dev.to team and Alibaba Cloud!

      It was a wonderful experience, and what a pleasant surprise on top of that! 🥳

      I made some updates to the game, but didn't change the online version as it was in the evaluation period. I'll post about the updates to the game on dev.to soon!

      Congrats to the other winners, and everyone who participated and followed this contest. All of you guys developed wonderful projects! 🚀

      Please keep on participating on dev.to Challenges as I myself will do too, whenever I get time.
      Surely one of you will win the next one. If I can, so can you! ❤️

      Best wishes to everyone, and thanks again to dev.to team and Alibaba Cloud! 🥰

    big respect to everyone who shipped a game for this, always fun seeing creative stuff win out - you ever notice if the best ideas show up quick, or only after hours grinding at it?
