72-hour gamer comp tests Ramallah talent

Palestine has joined Game Zanga’s 72-hour design competition as game developers converged on Ramallah over the weekend to try and beat the clock with a winning idea.

This is Game Zanga’s fifth year but last weekend was its first time in Ramallah. From July 31 to August 2, game developers, artists and designers teamed up to create games and upload them to an online platform.

They’ll be judged after August 13, when the public voting closes, for their originality, fun factor, graphics, and performance amongst other factors by a jury made up of regional and international gaming experts working for Ubisoft, IGN ME, Enish, and Falafel Games.

Developers have 72 hours to design, develop and upload their games for PC, Android, or web to the platform and can either participate online or from one of the event locations in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
