The game about a small fox on a big adventure - picked up two huge awards on one of the biggest nights in gaming

The red carpet was rolled out for one of the most glamorous nights in gaming - The Bafta Games Awards.

It was an opportunity to celebrate the work of the teams behind some of the biggest games of the last year.

As well as household names like Kirby, that you are probably used to playing, the night also saw some newer titles picking up awards too - like Tunic.

After collecting two, the creators of the action adventure game said: "This is nuts, thank you so much."

Tunic gives you control of a small fox going on a big adventure.

Along the way you'll explore a land filled with lost legends, ancient powers and ferocious monsters.

It claimed the awards for Debut game and Artistic achievement.

Not bad for a small fox!

The character has starred in a huge number of titles starting back more than 30 years ago - but is also a fan favourite in other titles like the Super Smash Bros series.

It is Kirby's first ever 3D adventure.

This time Kirby explores a mysterious world full of abandoned structures from a past civilisation.
