[B]From smaller things come big news. [I]Shrunk,[/I] which won the Dare to be Digital competition in Scotland last year, went on to pick up two British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards the other night, one in London and one in Scotland.[/B]

The game, prototyped in less than ten weeks by a team of five students last year, puts players in the diminutive shoes of Winston Adams, a (formerly) ordinary boy shrunk to the size of a salt shaker. Winston needs your help to stop the nefarious Dr. Shockalot and rescue his uncle.

The [I]Shrunk[/I] team (normal-sized) had to split up in order to grab their two awards. Team-member Iain Smith went to Glasgow to pick up the "Best Game" trophy at the Bafta Scotland New Talent Awards, while the rest humped up to London to nab the "Ones to Watch" prize.

Bernard King, principal and vice-chancellor of Abertay University, where the "Butterflyers," as they're known, attend school, told [URL=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/8577906.stm]BBC News[/URL] that "We are very pleased for the Butterflyers...To be nominated for the Ones to Watch award and receive recognition in front of the leading lights of the international computer games industry is a fantastic accolade for our student."

The trailer is impeccably animated, and the cutscenes, in particular, have a Wallace and Gromit wimsy and style to them. Getting tiny never looked so fun.
