Here are the 20 finalists of Google's European Indie Games Contest

Google has outlined the finalists of its Google Play Indie Games contest via the Android Developers blog. The competition, launched in November last year, called for indie developers from 15 European nations to submit games for the chance to win a number of rewards, including priority Play Store placements and invitations to industry events.

After receiving almost 1,000 submissions, Google has selected 20 finalists, all of whom receive the opportunity to exhibit and showcase their game at a final event at the Saatchi Gallery in London on February 16.
