Each year, indie developers from around the world submit their creations to the Independent Games Festival Main Challenge in hopes of becoming the next cola-to-Cristal success. This year, the IGF has received a whopping 306 entries (last year: 224) competing for the top prize of $20,000. Last year’s winner, Erik Svedang’s Blueberry Garden, was picked up for distribution on Steam.

Screens, videos and details on all 306 entries can be perused on the IGF website, while many of the games are either downloadable or directly playable from their developer’s homepages. Finalists will be picked in January, with the winners in various categories — including art, design, audio, and innovation — set to be announced during GDC 2010, which runs March 9-13, 2010.
