We were joined by many incredible independent game developers including so many friends, gaming press and new guests to celebrate the very anticipated releases of these games and the gaming culture.

THE GAMES
Here are a few of the incredible titles we had at the event that you can wishlist here.
Nikoderiko: The Magical World - The newly announced Nikoderiko: The Magical World was playable at MIX Seattle! Join Niko and Luna on their quest in Nikoderiko, a vibrant platform adventure. With family-friendly design, couch co-op, and various gameplay themes, Nikoderiko promises a magical journey for all ages!
WHAT THE CAR? - Recently released, in this game you’re a car with legs! Race through hundreds of unique levels: jump, fly with jetpacks, climb tall buildings, deliver packages, and do pretty much everything you can’t do in a normal racing game.
Iron Meat- Iron Meat is a run-and-gun arcade shooter, showing a lot of love to the Contra series, that immerses players in an apocalyptic future overrun by "The Meat," an iron-ravenous mass mutating everything in its path.
Ruffy and the Riverside- We personally loved the mechanics in this one. Enter the beautiful world of Riverside and use the magic SWAP. With the SWAP you can Copy and Paste textures and radically change the game world!
The MIX Games Team
Just days before the event, The MIX Games team, which works with folks to help with game development, publishing and more, announced the release date for Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland, and then released the game for all platforms the following week. The MIX Games and Wallride co-developed this game, partnering with Limited Run.
We shared the Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland pre release game with guests at The MIX Seattle, and also in the Limited Run booth on the show floor.
Be sure to follow our new MIX Publishing account @MIXPublishing for updates on Rugrats and more to be announced soon!
