Very nice implementation of the casual game with superior finalisation of the implementation including puzzle editor, highscores, and several visually attractive elements. Extremely well playable and addictive gaming experience, with good quality implementation, fitting to mobile phone.
Third Prize
Title: 3D Bombus, by Will Bamford
Impressive achievement in taking the popular Bombus game to the 3D space! Game itself as noted by Will is just the first version but surely opens the new level in demonstrating what is technically possible with WidSets SDK and keeps us eagerly waiting for the more productisized release of the 3D Bombus.

WidSets Challenge 2008 is open to all students from all universities, polytechnics & colleges. It is initiated by Forum Nokia and hosted by Betavine . The Challenge aims to allow students to showcase ideas and working models of their applications. The objective of the Challenge is to harness creativity and build the students' passion for innovation through mobile Web 2.0 technologies. WidSets service by Nokia is a popular consumer Internet service where users can create, publish, enjoy, and share their favorite Internet content on their mobile phones. It uses mini-applications called 'widgets' to identify updates made to the user's favorite Internet sites and pushes the content to a phone as soon as it becomes available. WidSets Scripting Language ("Helium") provides powerful Java-like environment to develop both mobile internet applications and stand-alone applications e.g. games.
Get started by following the Student Competition Guidelines 2008 instructions on How to enter a Student Competition. Register as a WidSets developer at Widsets Developer, where you can find all instructions and examples needed. Publish your creation there into the widget library. When updating your application profile on the Betavine site, just enter your widget link (as an example, http://dev.widsets.com/widget/229069/) to your developer's app description, with some supporting text of what your widget is all about.
