From the mesmerizing soundtrack to the stunning graphics, the game has a lot to offer. The game visualization clearly shows the creativity of the developers and the designer. The way the team has portrayed the beautiful elements of Ramayana and Mahabharata is astounding.

The credit goes to all thirteen creators of the Pune-based company Nodding Head Games for creating this masterpiece!

Their reaction says a lot about their efforts to create the first game of the company as one of the developers reacted to the nomination that the game perceived:

“This nomination definitely does put India on the global map when it comes to game development. And this is the first time a game developed in India, has made it to such a spot. Developers in India were more concerned with developing mobile games because of its swift income bracket.”

The developers have put in immense effort to create this breath-taking visual game, filled with the well-researched story of Hindu and Balinese mythology. One of the developers had to sell his apartment to fulfil the expenses of the game. But now this nomination will definitely motivate their team and the budding developers of the country to experiment more.
