The event, which was held in the luxurious ambience of the BAFTA building, Piccadilly, London saw 11 teams from 7 different universities compete to impress the judges with a range of innovative Android apps covering a wide range of themes from entertainment to education. The Imperial team's app Panicked! is a fun brain-training game that subjects its human players to an avalanche of varied mini-challenges that relentlessly increase in intensity and difficulty. The App is especially suited to devices that use Samsung S-Pen technology and can be downloaded from the Samsung App Store.
