Denver's 360iDev Hosts Impromptu iPhone Game Jam

Along with its expected sessions and speakers, this week's 360iDev iPhone conference in Denver hosted an iPhone game jam. Though indie game developer Noel Llopis (Flower Garden) and others only had three days to set up the jam after coming up with the idea, the event attracted dozens of interested designed and produced 15+ projects.
Developers had only 10 hours to code their games, hacking away all night between dinner and breakfast. The participants included both iPhone novices to platform veterans like Imangi Studios (Word Squares), PJ Cabrera (OpenFeint), and FuzzyCube Software (iQuarterback).
You can see and read about many of the projects at the iPhone Game Jam wiki. The variety of titles range from simple games like HippoHighDive, in which you guide a diving hippo through flaming rings and into a narrow pool, to Amoeba Wars (pictured), a multiplayer RTS taking place in "molecular goop."
