Our first set of recipients consist of three startups who are making bold new inroads into mobile gaming.

JoyPad turns your iPhone into a game controller. Game developers add Joypad support to their games using the Joypad SDK. The app has received more than 50,000 downloads, and 15 companies using the SDK.

Code Hero is edutainment (remember that?) at its finest — a game that teaches you how to make games with a code gun that copies, edits and shoots Javascript in Unity3D. I’m pretty sure I met Alex Peake, the company’s founder, at a flash mob in the Mission district several years ago, proving that San Francisco really is the smallest town in the world.

Illuminatus: Eye For an Eye turns the iPad into a board game platform, played against a friend, in person, with the iPad sitting between you. Illuminatus is built by and for board game geeks, in the tradition of Stratego and Settlers of Catan. I’ve played a number of rounds myself, and can testify first hand to its awesomeness.
