However, we wanted to do more than just look at games from a performance perspective. That is an important factor, of course. Still, as GameRefinery analysts, we play mobile games almost every single day &#8211; and a lot of thought and work goes into the design and gameplay of nearly any game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mobile GameDev Awards aim to recognise those games that truly stood out in this regard with impressive gameplay design, innovative features, or spectacular events. We also wanted to shine the spotlight on great examples of fantastic user experiences for mobile game players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GameRefinery analysts and partners have gathered their thoughts and opinions on all the winners in this report to provide a snapshot of all the winning games, including a top-level overview of the features and events that made them stand out amongst the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The finalists and winners of the <strong>2021 Mobile GameDev Awards<\/strong> were selected by an international jury of industry peers, including <strong>GameRefinery
