The Chinese Room’s Little Orpheus picked up an award in the Delight and Fun category, with Apple praising it for providing a “console-like experience to a casual game” and “packs a clever surprise at every turn.”

Meanwhile, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure was celebrated for its positive Social Impact. As well as highlighting the game for showing the “positivity that comes from respecting the environment” through its gameplay, it also highlighted the fact that every download of the game will be matched by the planting of a tree in a reforestation project in Madagascar.
