One man teams

Not a "famous" game but recent...one game that did really well in the app store was Trainyard by Matt Rix. It beat angry birds for the number one spot for a few days I think so that is success in my eyes.

 

Um... not particularly famous but great ones:

Run!
Rogue Runner

 

All my games are one-man efforts: Silverfish, Pinch 'n Pop!, Pollywog.

Not famous by any stretch but Pinch 'n Pop!'s icon did make an appearance in a few early iPhone TV commercials.

 

Ahh!!! How could I forget Silverfish?! An amazing game!

 

Aralon was coded entirely by one person in his spare time. Jason from Galoobeth Games.

 

Just one person coded it? I thought crescent moon spiced it up

 

From my understanding, he coded the entire game first. Crescent Moon did come in eventually, but it's still pretty amazing for one guy to make something like that.

 

(I thought it were discussing a game of such title)

If you have not tried Silverfish, I think you have missed something really neat. (And please don't compare it with Tilt To Live... )

I think the maker of "Red Nova" may also be a one-man-team.

 

Doodle Army's Dev. Chad

 

Alien Space!

 

Thesius and Light Jockey were done by one guy.

Compression was done by Little bear studio which is one guy.
Tan Zen and Zentonimo are also his, but his wife may have been involved there too

Mini Squadron

 

Minecraft was made by only Notch in the beginning But not anymore >.<

 

With just one more post, you'll be awarded a senior's position

Chad does have a few more games, Check his Siggy, His username is iPhoneGlobs, he is coming up with Doodle Army 2, which is a multiplayer thingy

 

I am indeed

Seconded on the Silverfish recommendation as well!

 

I'm not sure, is Nimblebit one guy or no

 

Nimblebit's a few guys. I think around 3-4.

 

Wow, I had no idea... in that case, I need to make one more gratuitous post just to hit 100 in this thread.

drumroll!
