FIELDRUNNERS, EDGE TOP 2009 IGF MOBILE FINALISTS
In its final spin-off awards announcement, the Independent Games Festival has named its finalists in the IGF Mobile competition, covering the best in games for the DS, mobile phones and, in partnership with oft-blogged publisher ngmoco, the iPhone.
The list, happily, reads like a who’s-who of some of Offworld’s favorites over the past several months (and indeed I took an earlier look at the full list of entrants in December): iPhone tower defense hit Fieldrunners, musical lover’s quarrel art-piece Ruben and Lullaby, Secret Exit’s rope-tied Zen Bound, and recent Offworld favorite cubist platformer Edge.
The Mobile competition this year is offering $30,000 in prize money, and the winners, as with its sister competitions, will be announced at the awards ceremony this March 25th (with a special Mobile conference awards show the night prior) during the 2009 Game Developers Conference.
