The birth of the Tizen ecosystem in the country was triggered by the presence of Indonesia Next Apps 3.0 (INA 3.0) which was held by Samsung in 2016. At that time, Samsung challenged local developers and startups to develop Tizen-based technology (smartphones, wearable devices and virtual reality devices).

After going through developer meetups and workshops in five cities (Bogor, Bandung, Jakarta, Malang, Surabaya and Yogyakarta) and Tizen Developer Codenight, Samsung then got the winner from each category that was contested.

Tizen Apps Category Winner in INA 3.0

Niji Game Studio through 'Cute Munchies', a puzzle game with cute characters, managed to become the best in the Tizen Apps category in the last INA 3.0. Niji Games Studio tries to present various funny characters in one game. In Cute Munchies, players will control cute and cute animals who are hungry and trying to find their favorite food. Players will direct the characters towards their food in this exciting puzzle game.

Local Game International Taste

Not inferior to foreign game developers, local game developers are also known to be good at creating interesting games. For example, Niji Game Studio, a game developer from Yogyakarta, showed off his teeth through a game called Cute Munchies.

After successfully winning the Tizen Apps category in INA 3.0, Niji Game Studio managed to become 11 finalists in the Indie Prize Asia 2017 event which was held in conjunction with the Casual Connect Asia 2017 event. Niji Game Studio again showcased the Cute Munchies game in the event.

Presenting Game Concepts with various Cute and Cute Characters

Cute Munchies, a puzzle game with cute and cute characters, is a simple concept well packaged by Niji Game Studio. In the Cute Munchies game, players will control various cute animal characters, such as cats, rabbits and many more. Even though this game looks easy, players will be tested for their thinking skills because just a little wrong step then players have to start again from the beginning.

The variety of characters is adjusted to their habits, for example a rabbit character who likes to eat carrots will take carrots, then a penguin who likes to eat fish will take fish. One thing that is interesting in the Cute Munchies game is the level build game mode where players can freely create their own levels similar to the Super Mario Maker game.

In addition, there are adventure game modes and online levels where players can play levels created by other players. Overall this game has a moderate level of difficulty however, this game is very fun and can be played at any time.

That's the short review about Niji Game Studio, the winner of the Tizen Apps category in INA 3.0. You also have the opportunity to be like Niji Game Studio through the event INA4.0.
