Unity Dashboard widget contest winners announced

Unity recently held a contest that challenged developers to create Dashboard widget games, using their development environment. Today, they have announced the winners, and they're all definitely worth checking out.

The widget Open Fire Beta 12 won the People’s Love category. From your perch high atop what looks like a Thomas the Tank Engine train table (what can I say?  I have kids), you can blast away at a hapless parade of tanks and jeeps. Hint: If you can't hit them, at least cause a multi-vehicle pile up. The good news is that they can't fire back.  It's like shooting fish military vehicles in a barrel.

The Grand Prix of the Jury winner was Overwhelmed Arena, a good, old-fashioned shoot-em-up in space. Choose from four ships, fly around the space station and blast bad guys out of the sky. Go into full screen mode and you forget you're using a widget.

There are more, of course, and they all deserve your attention. Check them out and have fun.
