My friends got a Bafta award

You guys know BAFTA Games Award? It's a British thing. They give prizes to exceptional video games, and in other categories to other exceptional media.

Journey got lots of prizes, Gabe Newell got a lifetime achievement sorta prize, Far Cry 3, etc. Aaaand... a few of my classmates got themselves a prize! :shock:

It was 'only' a Ones to watch award, in that their game was the best of all the student games made in one specific competition, but still... that's awesome! They were rocking on the same stage also visited by makes of Journey, Dishonored, by Gabe Newell... The official part finished half an hour ago, so they're probably drinking with the other winners right now!

Is that awesome or what?

They won it with Starcrossed, available for Windows Phone and Android. I believe the Android version is free.
