"The TIGA-BlueVia GameHack was a tremendous success," said TIGA CEO Dr. Richard Wilson.
"Our GameHack gave developers a chance to create innovative games in new teams at the inspirational setting of Pinewood Studios; the chance to network with some of the best people in the UK games development sector; and a chance to win some superb prizes.
"Above all, the GameHack brought the development community together for an extremely enjoyable weekend."
TIGA has also released a number of stats shining light on the hacks themselves, with a total of 43 entires made across all categories.
The most popular category was BlueVia's mobile award, which saw 18 entries equal to almost 42 percent. Its popularity, in TIGA's view, "echoes the shift in the wider gaming industry towards mobile devices."
