New Star Soccer was recognised in the Sports/Fitness Games category, fending off competition from the likes of FIFA 13 and Forza Horizon to bring home the gong for creator Simon Read.
Finally, the BAFTA Ones To Watch Award a category set aside for the three winners of 2012's Dare to be Digital contest went Kind of a Big Deal for its Windows Phone arcade game Starcrossed.
An aside
In the world of console and PC gaming, Journey was the biggest winner of the night, picking up five awards for developer Thatgamecompany, including the prizes for Artistic Achievement and Game Design.
Journey missed out on the prize for Best Game though, as that prestigious award went to Arkane Studios' Dishonored.
