Pode has been nominated for: Nordic Game of the Year, Best Art, Best Game Design, and Best Fun For Everyone. We at myPotatoGames couldn’t be happier for this adorable little indie game! In fact, Pode is challenging a huge AAA title like Battlefield V (also nominated in four different categories including Nordic Game of the Year)!

If you haven’t played Pode yet, it’s about a little rock helping a fallen star find its way home. As they travel through the insides of a mysterious and magical mountain, Bulder and Glo discover an ancient sleeping world. Explore the ruins of a long lost civilization with their unique talents and abilities. Only by helping each other can these adventure companions open the secret passageways up the caverns of Mount Fjellheim.

Pode, a game built around “the themes of friendship and cooperation, with a strong emphasis on positive actions, relaxing atmosphere and beautiful art”, is inspired by Norwegian culture.
