      I keep seeing Gameloft threads pop up here and there and yet I don't see anyone talking about all the great indie talent on the app store. I personally am a BIG fan of:

      Nimblebit - Sky Burger, Scoops, Moon Drop, Textropolis, Bluebird and more
      Red Rocket Games - Mevo and Little Runner
      Trapdoor - G.I. Joyride
      Mad Finger Games - Samurai: Way of the Warrior
      Firemint: Flight Control, Real Racing
      zinc Roe Inc. - Arctic Shuffle 2

      What are some of the smaller game makers and games they make, that you all like?

      Origin 8 are my favourite currently.

      Sentinel 2 and Monster Kill are superb.

      My favorites are probably Polarbit (Raging Thunder, Wave Blazer, Armageddon Squadron, developed CBNK3D and Krazy Kart) and Igloo Games (Dizzy Bee1/2, Bed Bugs).

      Nimblebit is awesome, as is Bolt Creative (only two guys), but does Firemint count? They are an awesome dev, but I thought they had a huge team over there. Again dunno if that counts as indie or not but eh :p. Team Phobic should be up there too (still love my Bounce On! :D)

      I'd say that Firemint isn't indie, because they have an office of like 30 people here in Melbourne and have been making mobile games for a while (they've done games on many other platforms).

      But yeah, they are awesome...
