Reporter Kao Tokio reports on Quebrando O Controle that Shadow Realm Game Studio, based in Rio Grande do Sul, snagged a special award. They’d already made a splash with a 3rd place win in the regional Gamejam back in March this year, held in São Paulo. Bruno Cecagno, programmer and designer of Draggin’up, expressed his gratitude for the victory and the prize money by saying that recognizing the team’s collective effort was crucial. “Now, Draggin’Up goes global!,” he excitedly declared, earning cheers from the audience at the award ceremony. Draggin’up is a vertical racing game where players must show off their skills to outrun a mad dragon scaling an endless tower while dodging hordes of goblins. The game blends 2D platform mechanics, infinite racing gameplay, and roguelike elements, providing heaps of replayability and action-packed challenges for gamers seeking a thrill. You can grab Draggin’up on Itch.io—it’s free to download!
