The Wii U eShop game Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party has just been awarded the Technology award at the Red Carpet Awards at the International Independent Games Festival IndieCade in Culver City, Los Angeles. The technology award "honors bold and unexpected experiments with the affordances of the medium that transform technology to magic."
"Our goal from the very beginning has been to design a game specifically to the new Wii U technology and hardware. The GamePad and the Wii Remotes makes games possible where the players look at each other, not the TV. Interesting technology to us, is not a question about performance and polygons, but about how this technology shape human interactions and the Wii U gives possibilities you don’t see anywhere else in gaming today." Says Dajana Dimovska, Producer on Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party
Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party is at display during the IndieCade festival and the developers have brought new minigames from their upcoming update. The new update will explore the technology of the Wii U even further by focusing on silly and awkward gameplay around the inbuilt camera in the GamePad.
Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party is a finalist at the international independent games festival, IndieCade in Los Angeles, October 3-6. To celebrate the nomination we have produced a short video to give you a peek behind the scenes at KnapNok Games and Redgrim.
IndieCade is a fantastic festival and if you live around the Los Angeles area we will strongly encourage you to check it out. Our team will be there to show the game, and we are bringing a brand new build with three of the new minigames from our upcoming update: Put Your Hat On, Act Like An Animal, and Don't Laugh.
You can start speculating about how those games are played.
Finally the waiting time is over. Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party will be available on the eShop in Europe and US from August 8th.
The launch price will be €6.99 / $8.99 . For that price you will get a great party game and all future updates for free. Once we release an update, the price will increase, so buy early to get the best deal.
We have spend the summer making everything work perfectly and produced a nice trailer that explains a bit more of the game play.

Since 2007, IndieCade’e Showcase @ E3 has featured close to 30 certified indie hits, not counting those undiscovered gems and games that have attracted devoted cult followings. 25+ games are carefully selected each year to highlight the talent and creativity of the independent game movement. Other notable past IndieCade picks include Antichamber (2010); Cards Against Humanity (2011); Binding of Isaac by the creator of Super Meat Boy (2012); as well as Skulls of the Shogun (2011) and Scale (2012), both recipients of numerous Best In Show awards at previous E3 Expos.
