Melbourne’s Glitch Crab Studios and Level Squared clean up at The Game Awards

8 Dec 2017
Steve Wright

Melbourne’s Glitch Crab Studios today took home the Best Student Game Award for its title, Level Squared.

The Glitch Grab team is composed of eight students — Benedict Zeng, Dane Perry Svendsen, Genevieve Rathgeber, Kip Brennan, Mark Tan, Matthew Harvey, Stephen Scoglio and Tegan Nicholson, all attending Swinburne University and studying Game & Interactivity and Games Development.

Level Squared started off life as Four Shadow, a gothic 2D puzzle-platformer, before being retooled into a non-gothic 2D puzzle-platformer for PAX AUS.

Well done to Glitch Crab Studios!

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
