Dundee developer Proper Games has won the Games award at BAFTA Scotland for its PSN and Xbox Live Arcade title Flock.
The game, published by Capcom, beat rivals Dynamos Games' Championship Manager Express 2010 and Cobra Mobile's Low Grav Racer to the award.
"It's amazing to be recognised by such a prestigious body," said creative director, Geoff Gunning. "Everyone at Proper worked really hard throughout the development process, and to receive this recognition for our first release. It makes all the late nights worthwhile."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "It's fitting that Flock wants to treat players like its plethora of creatures: softly wooing you to stay as long as you wish. Sure, it still utilizes basic design principles: the wonder of what's hiding beneath the clouds, frilly cosmetics to alter your style, and an engaging collect-a-thon system wedded to the main objective; however, you never feel confined by them. That description may seem too abstract and imperceptible in writing, but that warmth within its design is immediately felt with a controller in hand. Sometimes that relaxed vibe could've been more substantive in its quest structure, but leaning too far would've diminished its unique identity. For whatever creative or technical missteps, virtually anyone who Flock Tuahs Richard Hogg & Hollow Ponds' latest is sure to enjoy it."
Flock is the latest game from Hollow Ponds and Richard Hogg. Nurture and guide your own flock of adorable flying creatures.
