<div align="left">Several games took home honors at this morning's Independent Games Festival's Mobile awards ceremony, but the event's true winner was apparent: the iPhone. While the awards were geared towards -- and open to -- <a href="http://www.igfmobile.com/02finalists.html">titles for all wireless / mobile devices</a>, every game that won is available exclusively on Apple's telephonic wunderkind (and, of course, the iPod touch).</div>
</div>
<br />Subatomic Studios' tower defense favorite, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieldrunners"><em>Fieldrunners</em></a>, won for Best Art and Best Mobile Game (overall). Sergei Gourski and Jamie Gotch (above), the two developers responsible for the game, have been viewed as rising stars in the indie mobile gaming scene since <em>Fieldrunners'</em> release; today's wins cemented their star status. We spoke with the duo about their award-winning creation -- look for the full interview soon on the 'Stiq.<br /><br />Two awards also went to Secret Exit for its sublime <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/02/iphone-it-in-zen-bound/"><em>Zen Bound</em></a>. The part game, part relaxation exercise was named Best iPhone Game and earned a Mobile Audio Achievement award. The Best Innovation award went to the simplistic, yet infinitely replayable 4x4 space strategy title, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WWRCqwtNjw"><em>Galcon</em></a>. The only unreleased game to win was Firemint's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r9x8Cq3gJU"><em>Real Racing</em></a>, which earned Best Technical honors. We'll have a hands-on with the impressive looking (hey, it won the tech award for a reason) racer soon.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/24/gdc09-igf-mobile-award-winners-announced/">GDC09: IGF Mobile Award winners announced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:22:00 EST.

Within moments of starting <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=305199856&amp;mt=8"><em>Zen Bound</em></a>, I was completely embarrassed we hadn't yet featured it on "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/iphone-it-in">iPhone It In</a>." No discussion of the iPhone as a platform that omits this soothing, beautiful puzzle game can really call itself complete. Hell, in terms of making use of the iPhone's specific strengths, <em>Zen Bound is </em>the discussion. <br /><br />It is, as developer Secret Exit says simply in its iTunes Store description, a game about wrapping wooden sculptures with rope. <br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/zen-bound-iphone/">Zen Bound (iPhone)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/zen-bound-iphone/#1395656"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/img_0036_thumbnail.png" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/zen-bound-iphone/#1395650"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/img_0035_thumbnail.png" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/zen-bound-iphone/#1395649"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/img_0033_thumbnail.png" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/zen-bound-iphone/#1395648"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/img_0032_thumbnail.png" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/zen-bound-iphone/#1395647"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/03/img_0034_thumbnail.png" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/02/iphone-it-in-zen-bound/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>iPhone It In: Zen Bound</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/02/iphone-it-in-zen-bound/">iPhone It In: Zen Bound</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:16:00 EST.
