A group of students have won a prize at Dare to be Digital thanks to their efforts in creating a new prototype game for the DS, that draws from aspects of other successful titles.
The prototype, called 'Metalheads' is referred to by the development team's leader as "almost a merging of Pikmin, Lemmings, Abe's Oddysee and Flashback."
The game development process proved slightly troublesome for the team, given that they had no access to a DS dev kit. This meant they had to use a PC, with a tablet acting as the touch screen input. Despite the hurdles, the protoype has won the 'most marketing potential' award at Dare to be Digital.
Pocketgamer has more info on the game and the development team.
