Firemint Wins Multiple Design Awards
I am a huge fan of Firemint, the fantastic developers behind some of my favorite iPhone/iPod Touch games. In fact, one of the few games I have liked more than Firemint’s Flight Control on the iPod Touch was Flight Control HD on the iPad. So, it came as no surprise when I received the below email from Firemint announcing they had won not just one, but two design awards from Apple at their WWDC conference last week. Not only did they win for Flight Control, but also for Real Racing GTI, making them the first developer in the 14 year history of the awards to win two winning apps in the same year. Read the full email announcement below, and a hearty Congratulations to our friends at Firemint!
We are absolutely thrilled to have been honored with two incredibly prestigious Apple Design Awards for Flight Control HD on iPad and Real Racing on iPhone. Firemint is the first company in the 14 year history of the awards to have two winning apps in one year.
Flight Control HD is the iPad adaptation of Firemint’s massive iPhone hit that invented the "line drawing" genre, and introduced numerous tweaks to make it a perfect fit for the iPad’s larger display. More information about Flight Control HD is available athttp://firemint.com/flightcontrolhd.
Real Racing is Firemint’s ground breaking iPhone racer, which redefined player expectations for what is possible on the iPhone. More information about Real Racing is available at http://firemint.com/realracing. Players can download a free lite version with limited content, Real Racing GTI, from http://firemint.com/getapp/realracinggti.
The awards were presented at a ceremony at Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco on June 8, and included 5 awards for iPhone apps and 5 awards for iPad apps. The winning apps showcase the best technology adoption, design and user experience, innovation and performance. More information about the Apple Design Awards: http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/ada.
