Ubisoft’s expert handling of its Rayman IP on iPhone has been named as Apple’s iPhone Game of the Year for 2012 in the UK.

Rayman Jungle Run was released in September and did a superb job of bringing the trademark colourful visuals and gameplay seen in the console versions to the iPhone’s touchscreen.

On iPad the Room was crowned best game with Eufloria HD grabbing the silver position.
