GDD Indie Award 2025 Nomination for Studio Seufz

The game “Lucky Tower Ultimate” by Studio Seufz has been nominated for a GDD Indie Award 2025 – in not just one, but two categories: Best Game and Best Game Mechanics (game design).

Lucky Tower Ultimate is a comedic, roguelike adventure game following the trials and tribulations of a narcissistic knight… as he repeatedly tries to escape the dangerous tower he’s been trapped in. The levels and layout of the tower are procedurally generated, so no two runs of Lucky Tower Ultimate will ever be the same. There are many different traps, weapons, monsters, and rooms to experience.

Lucky Tower Ultimate is the third game in the Lucky Tower series and available on Steam. The publisher of the game is AMC Games, and it was supported, among others, by MFG Baden-Württemberg.

The GDD Indie Awards, with a total prize money of €10,000, will be presented on July 9, 2025, during the GermanDevDays (GDD) game developer conference, taking place on July 9 and 10, 2025 in Frankfurt. Fingers crossed!
