Samsung is encouraging developers to launch their games in the Indian market on Tizen. And to do so, it has launched the Tizen App Challenge, which offers monetary rewards for Unity developers who get real traction on the operating system.

Global partner manager Ravi Belwal said in an interview with GamesBeat that the contest is open to developers who have designed a game with Unity that has reached more than 10,000 installs worldwide in the Google Play or iOS app stores. The developer can port the existing app to Tizen, a multiplatform OS which is based on the Linux kernel, and start selling it in Samsung’s Tizen Store.
