AirConsole is an interesting concept, essentially it is a local-multiplayer focused game store and API where users play using their smart phones. Essentially AirConsole provides a
portal for HTML5 developed games that use their special API enabling users to connect and play local (couch) multiplayer games using their smartphone as a controller, developers in turn can make revenue via ads played on the service.
The contest pays a total of $10,000 USD to the winning game, then $2,500 and $1,000 to two runners up.
