We’ve tweeted a lot about the Vortex Competition this week, and with good reason. They host an awesome boot camp that future game developers can learn so much great information from.

However, the bootcamp is just 1 part of this event. The Vortex Competition is the other big draw, and we’d like to congratulate the 2009 competition champions: the Pixel Pirates.

Their winning game, Colour-Coded, was described by the Dare to be Digital video game competition as, “a 3D puzzle/platformer where you manage a group of characters through physics based puzzles in the environment. The catch is the objects do not have their physical attributes, you have to apply it.”

 
The easier explanation is to basically think of LittleBigPlanet, but with brighter colours and harder puzzles. Regardless of what you want to call it, it looks like a fun game that I would like to trying someday. Luckily, part of the Vortex Competition’s 1st place prize is the opportunity to have the winning games commercialized through a variety of channels.

We’ll keep an eye on this process, and let you know when (if) you can try it out for yourself.
