Towards the end of last year, my brother had stumbled upon a competition that Microsoft NZ was running, which involved creating a mobile app for the new Windows Phone 7 OS. The prize was a smartphone that runs Windows Phone 7. After thinking it over for about a month, he decided to enter. Luckily for him, I am an awesome sister with a Design Degree, so he asked me to create the graphics for this little project. We ended up developing two very simple games to enter into the competition - one under my name and the other under his name.
In game screen caps of the games that we developed for the competition: Pie Defender (Left) and Mr Snowman (Right).
There were four phones up for grabs for the four best apps, as well as some luck draw phones for everyone that entered. And as luck would have it, we both won two of the four top prizes! We were very surprised and stoked to have won not one, but two
Smartphones!
My wonderful new phone, the HTC Surround, complete with a fold out speaker and stand :D
