Last week’s Level Up Showcase 2024 saw students from UofT and Centennial College take the prize for Best Overall Game, with Sheridan College, Brock University, and Niagara College taking top spots in multiple other categories!

Fanshawe’s Grave Robbers took top spot in the Innovative Technology category, with Sheridan’s Miniature Nightmare taking second and Brock University / Niagara College’s Reverek third. But Sheridan’s titles shone through in the Artistic Achievement category; the college’s Echoes of the Roots and Project Diluvian bagged first and second places.

Brock University and Niagara College came back strong to steal first spot under the Achievement in Accessibility category with Cosmic Justice, and Algonquin’s World Warlock and UofT’s Paw Pirates took second and third respectively. Finally, Pencil Pushers from UofT won top spot for Best Overall Game, as Mohawk College and Centennial College shared second place with Bedlam Brother and Breach the Abyss.
