About this event

Indie Game of the Month

Every month, the PokeIndie community chooses one indie game that deserves the spotlight.

Developers have one week to enter their games. Once submissions close, voting opens to the community.

Browse the entries, discover games you may have never seen before, and vote for the one you believe deserves to become PokeIndie's Indie Game of the Month.

How it works

  1. Developers submit their games
  2. Submissions close
  3. Community voting opens
  4. Each voter can support one game
  5. The game with the most valid votes wins

The total number of votes remains hidden while voting is active so the competition stays fair and unpredictable.

The winner will be featured as Indie Game of the Month, September 2026, with the final results published after voting closes.

This event is about discovery. Big following or small, established studio or solo developer, every eligible indie game competes on the same page.

Who can enter

Any independent game listed on PokeIndie may enter.

Developers may also submit their own game directly during the submission period.

Entry rules

  • One game entry per developer or development team.
  • The submitted game must be an independent game.
  • Entries must contain enough information for players to understand and evaluate the game.
  • Duplicate entries are not allowed.
  • Developers may promote their entry and encourage their community to vote.
  • Artificial votes, vote manipulation, bots, or other attempts to interfere with the competition may result in penalties or disqualification.

Each player may vote for one game per event.
