Another condition is that the game should have been launched on or after January 1, 2016 or will be published by December 31, 2016.
The company said in a blog post, “if you’re an indie game developer, you know that games are a powerful medium of expression of art, whimsy, and delight. Being on Google Play can help you reach over a billion users and build a successful, global business. That’s why we recently introduced programs, like the Indie Corner, to help more gamers discover your works of art.”
