Jolly Rover, a pirate-themed adventure game from Melbourne developer Brawsome, won the Best Australian Game award at the Freeplay Independent Games Festival last night.

“This is a huge honour for me and the team that worked very hard to make my dream a reality!” says Andrew Goulding, head of Jolly Rover developer Brawsome.

“Since Jolly Rover just won the award for best game I decided I could do what I liked for the rest of the night, so I decided to go home and spend time with my family who have been so supportive over this long project. I don’t care how cheesy it sounds, but reading my two year old daughter a story before she goes to bed is more important to me than any after party.”

The Freeplay Awards are all about honouring creativity, artistry, and innovation in the local indie development community.
