As people have been looking back on the best game releases of 2020, a bunch of rad folks have been including Teenage Blob in their lists! Here are a few highlights of cool people who joined the Blob Mob in 2020!

The award show happens on the 26th of this month, so be sure to tune in for the show!

In our sub-genre of punk games that balance cute playfulness with total hear-felt sincerity, Night In the Woods is our Nevermind. We can't overstate how much this means to us. The excellent [url=https://gamesindustryafrica.com/2020/12/18/gia-people-of-the-year/]Games Industry Africa recently put out a list of "People of The Year"[/url] and we're delighted to announce that Team Lazerbeam were listed under the "Teams of The Year" section! Again, we're in very good company, alongside an awesome selection of African game developers. What an honour! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37835583/1dcc15ee7f38cdec4d6c0d4761bf5eab872842d0.jpg[/img] German indie game magazine [url=https://welcometolastweek.de/2021/01/15/die-besten-indie-games-des-jahres-2020/]Welcome To Last Week put together a "Best Indie Games of 2020"[/url] list and guess who the spot for Best Soundtrack! To quote the (autotranslated) words of writer Benja Hiller "Teenage Blob is not only one of my all-time favorite games of the year, but also my absolute favorite album of the year." How cool?! New York game connoisseurs[url=https://www.sixoneindie.com/read/indie-celebration-2020] Six One Indie put together a 2020 Indie Celebration,[/url] sharing their favourite games of the year. We were overjoyed to be the top pick of the lovely Mike Towndrow saying "What Team Lazerbeam and The Superweaks have accomplished with this title is truly outstanding. Teenage Blob is groundbreaking experience; the birth of a new medium" concluding "I fell in love with a Blob at the rock show, and I guarantee you will as well." Mike also wrote a super in depth article about what Teenage Blob meant to him, and did a rad video hangout with Team Lazerbeam's art and words person Ben!

Have we missed anything? Know of any other cool spots where Teenage Blob showed up? Let us know! Thanks so much to every single person who helped spread the word about Teenage Blob in 2020! We've been so consisntently blow away by the support that it recieved in 2020, and hope it will continue to put smiles on new faces in 2021!
