The uDevGames Contest is a Mac indie game contest run off and on throughout the years by the folks at iDevGames. It is an excellent opportunity for Mac Indie game developers to put a game together in a short time, using their skills and trying out all kinds of interesting ideas that might not necessarily fly well in the commercial game industry, especially among the big giants who are quite content with sequelitis.

uDevGames 2008 kicked off last year in early December, and voting just finished a few days ago. iDevGames just announced the winners on Monday.

And now, iDevGames is proud to announce the winners of uDevGames 2008:
