This winter break, a team from the Student Game Developers attended the 2011 Rosetta Stone Winter Game Jam and took 2nd place in the student division for their game Doodle Defender.

The three students were each awarded a MacBook Air and a 1-year subscription to Rosetta Stone TOTALe. Their team, Cornflower Blue, consisted of third year Computer Science majors Nicholas Loffredo, Andrew Gaubatz, and Daniel Epstein. You can check out a video of the game in action below:
