Bankrolled by over 60,000 people to the tune of more than $8 million, the Ouya console is a poster child for Kickstarter's uncanny ability to transform vague dreams into solid reality. The team behind the Android-based system are out to create an affordable yet powerful domestic platform which showcases the best of both indie and mainstream video games.

Ronimo Games is the Dutch studio behind cartoony chaos such as Swords & Soldiers and this year's hectic MOBA Awesomenauts.
