The cleverly designedAstro Bottook home the coveted Game of the Year title atThe Game Awards 2024. “You know, when I thought about why this game gives people joy and smiles on their faces, I think it came down to the people that were there making the game and doing exactly that,” said Team Asobi studio director Nicolas Doucet when accepting the award. “When I think of the team, it’s the amount of generosity they give; they put the user first always and never thought about any calculation.”
Doucet also said “We had this huge, huge privilege to be potentially the first game to be in the hands of children, and we know what it means very much,” He later thanked Nintendo for its role in inspiring the developers to make the game they made.
