From App Store Facebook page:

Infinity Field

Not only Manuel created this great shooter using cocos2d, but also he is the author of many cocos2d add-ons (like CCNotifications, and the blur effect class) and contributed with many performance improvements to cocos2d.

Congratulations Manu!

Trainyard: Another cocos2d successful story

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?

Another cocos2d Top Paid App

You know how difficult is to be the Top Paid App in the US… it is REALLY difficult. So I think it is worth mentioning every cocos2d App that gets to the Top.

Zombie Smash! is the new #1 Top Paid App!. Congratulations to GameDoctors!

Also, it is worth noting that Warlords: Call to Arms is #7 Top Paid app.

  • Zombie Smash! $0.99
