The games are now subject to a public vote for the next 9 days where voters can judge them in 5 categories: Gameplay, Graphics, Sound & Music, Originality, and Polish. The winners will be announced on December 2 (along with the release of source code for all 41 games, and postmortems for the winners). Read the iDevGames.com press release, and the original article."

    Nice game ideas.. too bad their graphics aren't all they could be. Further proof that programmers prolly shouldn't design graphics :)

      Yes... well remember that most of the games were written in under 3 months... after the design and programming there isn't much time for the programmer to find and contract an artist (or a musician). And artists aren't free.

      But that way the lone-wolf-programmers-that-can-draw-and-sing get rewarded (although there aren't many of them out there).
