At last week's prestigious Golden Joystick Awards, Mobile Pie picked up the Mobile Game Developer of the year award by pitching their game concept to a panel of industry experts from Channel 4, EA Mobile and O2 UK. Their novel camera based game idea saw off the competition from nine finalists from around Europe and the prize was presented on stage at the Golden Joysticks the next day by David 'Peep Show' Mitchell.
Their game, ‘Let it Grow’, allows players to care for and share their very own flower. Using the camera on their phone, colours from the real world must be captured to nurture and evolve the plant. The player can then share their creation with friends via their Facebook profile page.
Mobile Pie is a Bristol-based development studio that creates games and applications for mobiles. It is run by Tom Dowding and Richard Wilson, who both graduated in Computer Science from Bristol University in 2004.
