03 Award-Winning Works
Following outstanding presentations and defenses on April 11, the competition awarded one Grand Prize, two First Prizes, four Second Prizes, eight Third Prizes, and one prize each for Best 3D, Best Collaboration, Best Art, and Best Tool.
Grand Prize & Best Tool Award: Malim by Xiao Li
Malim is a language learning app that helps users learn languages by simulating a native-speaking environment. The front end uses Svelte + TypeScript, the back end is built on Rust (Tauri framework), and it integrates Silero TTS and other speech synthesis services to provide a cross-platform (Windows and Android) language learning environment.
The software aims to help users move away from rote memorization of words and grammar rules by providing large amounts of comprehensible input, simulating "statistical" language learning as in a native environment. It currently supports Korean and Russian: users can import any text, which is automatically parsed and marked for parts of speech, noun properties (gender in Russian), declension (Russian), and Chinese roots (Korean). Tapping on a word or sentence displays the definition, grammatical features, and plays cached audio, enabling both visual and auditory memory. Future plans include more accurate sentence segmentation and AI-assisted sentence correction to complete the input-output learning loop.
First Prize: BrightBlack by Jun Yang, Guoxuan Wang, Gang Wang
BrightBlack is a 2D pixel-art Metroidvania-style puzzle game developed with Unity Engine 1.8.0. Players can control a small light spirit living peacefully in the City of Light until its shadow becomes eerily dark. The game adopts a "knowledge lock + ability lock" structure, encouraging players to discover new uses for abilities and hidden world traits as they progress. Core gameplay revolves around switching between light and dark attributes (H key): in light mode, the character can fire light balls; in dark mode, it can dash forward. The map includes destructible walls, 45° mirrors, laser emitters, light-ball projectors, and various switches, requiring players to combine them to solve puzzles. The game supports multiple save slots (JSON serialization), global audio management, and respawn at checkpoints.
First Prize & Best Art Award: Eastern Miasma Voyage by Yujie Xiao, Wending Zhang, Ning Bai
Eastern Miasma Voyage is a Touhou Project fangame that combines STG bullet-hell shooting with "eating and growing" mechanics. Players take on the role of an artificial intelligence wreckage that has drifted into Gensokyo from the outside world, gradually gaining physical form and consciousness by absorbing information, dodging bullets, and devouring enemies, while exploring the meaning of its own existence. The plot and gameplay are deeply integrated: enemies, items, and level mechanics all reflect concepts such as information quality, optimization direction, and data overload in AI training, creating a unique philosophical experience.
The game uses a classic layered design, developed with the LuaSTG Sub engine and Lua scripts, and supports title screens, practice modes, replays, and other systems. It features four main stages, a complete storyline with multiple endings, and original music and art assets, exploring themes of memory, consciousness, and the "infinite possibilities" of Gensokyo.
Second Prize: Texas Duel by Siming Qin, Zhiyao Xu
Texas Duel is a Windows single-player game that combines Texas hold'em card hands with turn-based strategic combat, developed with Unity + C#. The game uses poker hand rankings (pair, full house, straight, royal flush, etc.) as attack methods; the opponent must respond with an equivalent hand to counter or take damage. It includes a custom mode and a roguelike challenge mode where players face nine AI enemies, each with unique abilities and decision-making capabilities, before finally confronting the ultimate boss, "Divinity."
Second Prize & Best Collaboration Award: Beauty or Death by Shikun Xu, Rongfeng He, Weiyao Pang

From character animations to victory dances, every detail has been carefully polished, and detailed key guides ensure players can quickly get started.
Second Prize: Wolf Fort Mystery by Tianlin Zeng, Xiangyu Li, Wenqing Wang
Wolf Fort Mystery is an ARG-style web-based puzzle game. You play as Tongxue Mou, an ordinary high-school student at Wolf Fort No. 1 High School. Using mysterious codes left by a missing classmate, you infiltrate the "campus information network" to uncover the truth. The game abandons traditional quest markers; you must browse forums, search archives, and decode encrypted emails like a hacker or detective, piecing together the complete mystery from fragments. There are three endings, determined solely by the choice you make at the very end. The game is purely web-based, requires no download, and is best played on a PC browser (mobile-optimized). It takes about two hours, with no timers or failure states.
Second Prize: Nonexist by Chutian Mei, Zehong Li, Ziheng Zhang
Nonexist is a multiplayer casual competitive game centered on "existence and observation." Players exist in a Nonexist world where they cannot see each other. To win, they must collect "Proofs of Existence" and reach the "Gate of Existence" to be the first to prove their own existence.
The game offers two modes: Constant Epoch, where proofs are picked up directly, and Chaotic Epoch, which alternates between day (collect keys) and night (collect shackles); combining a key and a shackle yields a Proof of Existence. During the night, players must also merge their shadow with their body to escape. Players can freely switch among three speed levels - the faster they move, the more afterimages they leave and the more damage they take. The map contains chests, traps, elevators, and other interactive elements, along with 15 combinable skills covering movement, information, damage, and special effects (e.g., blink, invisibility, laser, refresh), enabling skill combos for counterplay and cooperation. The game features a multiplayer online architecture, supporting room creation and joining. With its unique information-gameplay dynamic of "mutually invisible but traceable," it delivers a competitive experience blending strategy, stealth, and pursuit.
