The result is in!  After a very closely fought Christmas competition we finally have the winner, and it was very very close.  By a winning margin of just half a point, the victors are …. <drum roll> … Horizon Studios!

Congratulations to Marty and the rest of the gang at Horizon studios.  Everyone involved with the judging was impressed with the amount of work covered by the team in just 10 days and the game they developed was fun and was close to the competition brief.

Who did they pip by just half a point?   Rampage Designs!  Well done to Aaron and his crew, it was very tight between them and Horizon Studios.

“Firstly I just want to thank everyone who took part for their efforts.” said Dave Sharp of Train2Game.

“Mete, Rory and I enjoyed playing the games and overall the standard was very high.   We’re looking forward to working on the game now and bringing it to life on the iPad.  Everyone that submitted a game should be proud of their efforts, there were some good game ideas.  I hope the teams to can continue to develop the games they have started and take them forward.”
