Other games that made the judges' shortlist were Flower Story (Meridian '93, Ukraine), Ringies (Mini IT, Russia), Crazy Space (Dot Red Games, U.K.), Stardrone (Orb Games, Ukraine), and Cell (A.S. Studio, Ukraine)

The full title of our game is: "Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!"

It was pretty weird, winning a prize from half-way around the world. I wish I could have attended. The video of the conference looks pretty fun. Mousechief is honored to win, but we understand how a few typos could have sneaked in.

@Keith, we've made the change. (It was strange judging a contest from half-way around the world too!)
