There is a new section in town. A little Indie's hope! :) Google Play Store has a new featured gallery. Have you guys already noticed it? What do you think of that approach? Because of Spam prevention can't put that link into the post.

Nice that they feature indie devs too - I just hope they don't favor devs that market themselves as indie but have big budgets.

Yes! We actually have been featured in the Indie Corner since yesterday! So it is really a fair approval process :)

Nice! Congrats :)

Its just nice to see that Google is finally trying to figure out a way to promote smaller devs, and as we can see it already helps :)

Liebe Grüße, Bastian

Thank you very much :)

The Indie Corner is a bit hidden in the Google Play Store, however they are really pushing it forward and this is definitely a feature that has an impact on installs. Any Indie can submit their game. To all Indie's: Be confident and just send your game for submission to Google. We wish you the best of luck! :)

Greetz from Munich!

Over 80% of the games in Indie Corner are paid apps...

It is pretty hidden. But it has a huge impact! But the Indie Highlights are shown on the front page though!

Just how can you send Google your app for the Indie Corner?
Sending to their company mail?
