IPad Game of the Year: 'Hyper Light Drifter' (Abylight S.L.) IPhone Game of the Year: 'Sky: Children of the Light' (thatgamecompany) Mac App of the Year: Affinity Publisher (Serif Labs)Īpple TV App of the Year: The Explorers (The Explorers Network) IPad App of the Year: Flow by Moleskine (Moleskine) IPhone App of the Year: Spectre Camera (Lux Optics) (Eva Gaspar, CEO of Abylight Studios, told Engadget they took on the project of adapting HLD for iOS after completing the Switch port last year.) Regardless, there are a handful of fascinating choices that even we hadn't heard of before, so be sure to check out the full list below. And the same could be said for Hyper Light Drifter - it's a little strange to see it take the crown for Best iPad game of the year when it debuted on PCs and Macs over three years ago. Sayonara Wild Heartswas easily the most stylish of Apple Arcade's first games, so its nod here feels well-warranted despite being a cross-platform title. With that said, a few of the choices here are particularly interesting. (If Android is more your thing, expect Google's own list of first-class apps to drop shortly, too.) Apple's selections this year run the gamut from artsy - Spectre Camera helps people take long-exposure photos with their iPhones - to practical fare like Affinity's desktop publishing app for the Mac. As expected, Apple's event today wasn't about heralding any new hardware - it was about shining some light on some of the year's standout apps.
