Trainyard is a very polished, well designed, orignal game.
As of today, the game is:
- 2nd Top Paid App in US
- 2nd Top Free App in US
- 3rd Top Grossing App in US
What is very interesting, is that this game was developed by just 1 person (Matt Rix) with a lot of hard work, hard work, hard work and conviction. I suggest reading the story behind this game. It is very inspiring!
It contains details about the whole lifecycle of a game:
- Game design
- Tools
- Marketing
and more.
Haven’t you tried Trainyard yet?
- Trainyard $0.99 (It’s on SALE now!)
- Trainyard Express $Free

Awesome, so glad to hear about the success people have with cocos2d.
It looks like a very nice game.
Thanks for the post Riq. Cocos2D was a MASSIVE help, I recommend it to every iPhone developer I meet. Hopefully this helps to bring even more publicity to Cocos2D
Yes, thanks Matt
Guya, the rumors are true, there is a world beyond US ans UK. And Trainyard is doing great there, too! #2 paid apps in Germany. Congratulations, its such a great game!
Very nice! I love reading about success stories like this.
Congrats Matt! What a great story!
Thanks, Matt! Your success story greatly inspired me!
Thanks, Matt. You not only gave me a lot to think about, but now I’m addicted to the game and I’m not working on my app that I’m behind on!!!!
Matt,
I love your game, it’s beautiful, although I found halifax compact too much of a leap.
I would love to know why you chose cocos2d for the main game though… theres not physics or anything… perhaps for path finding….
or is that just for the partials and credit screen?
You should be well chuffed thou.

Matt, Congrats!! I love the game! This speaks volumes for you as a developer and Cocos2d as well! What a great inspiration for us small dev teams!
Not as polished as Trainyard, but here’s another cocos2d success on the App Store. It’s currently at #5 Top Free app. Potty Panic by Citizen Kane LLC. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/potty-panic/id389300355?mt=8
