The International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA) has announced the winners of its 13th global edition, with the top award going to none other than Pokémon GO. This year’s Grand Prix award went to Niantic‘s immensely-popular mobile game, while Martin Magni won the Jury’s Honorable Mention with his puzzle game Mekorama. The jury selected 16 winners from a shortlist of 159 nominees that were previously hand-picked from nearly 3,000 submissions.
“Our expert jury members reviewed close to 3000 games this year, and the 159 nominations that resulted represent the cream of the mobile gaming crop in 2016. Our 16 winners helped to make this a top year in terms of technology, substance, art and exploration in mobile games,” explains Maarten Noyons founder of the IMGA, in a statement. “I want to thank all our sponsors: KING, Rovio, Supercell, Youzu, TDS, Samsung and Euroméditerranée and everyone who voted online for choosing the People’s Choice Award’s winner.”
