HANDYGAMES NEWSLETTER // APR23
April 2023
Hello again...
What should you write in a preface when you have a lot to do and don't want to waste time? That's exactly the time we all lack for playing. That's why we start quite crisply and applaud Endling's success. Because winning an award from BAFTA is already a huge thing for us. So, have fun reading, and have a wonderful weekend!

Endling goes Beyond Entertainment!
We are thrilled to announce that Endling – Extinction is Forever has won the prestigious BAFTA Award for Game Beyond Entertainment at the 2023 BAFTA Games Awards. The game, developed by Herobeat Studios and published by HandyGames, was recognized for its compelling narrative and thought-provoking exploration of environmental issues.
The BAFTA Games Awards celebrate the very best games of the past year and the people who made them, showcasing a wide range of storytelling and creative excellence. The Game Beyond Entertainment category recognizes games that go beyond pure entertainment and explore important themes and issues.
The award ceremony took place last night, 31. March at 18:50 BST. Follow the links above to watch more about this year's BAFTA!
More about Endling? Here we go!
During an exhibition at the EU Parliament in Brussels on March 9th on the topic "How video games can be used to deliver on the objectives of the Green Deal", producer Philipp Nägelsbach showcased Endling – Extinction is Forever. Interested attendees asked many questions about the game and had the chance to play it themselves.
For the Premios Quirino Award, Endling has been selected as a finalist in the category "Best Animation Design"! The event gathers the blossoming Latin American industry alongside the Portuguese, Andorran, and Spanish industries. The award will be presented in May, and we will, of course, keep you updated.
Wreckfest and One Hand Clapping are the same thing?
Of course not. But both are well received. THAT'S what they have in common. The hard-working content creators and the press are also noticing this. We're happy to see Wreckfest on the fast track - more and more players like the hot races with calls to demolish! Simply delightful. On taptap, we are represented in several lists in the front ranks, for example, also in this one. This is how demolishing is fun!
In One Hand Clapping, you don't demolish anything. Except maybe your own voice. In this year's Pocketgamer Mobile Games Awards, we are nominated as a finalist in the category of Best Audio/Visual Accomplishment! Hooray! Among other illustrious titles, we are well-positioned on the concept of the game, and we look forward to the award ceremony on April 20.
