We built this game as a part-time project, to prove that it's not too hard for indie developers to make money on the Android Market.
Investment:
- 100$ design (template)
- about 200 hours of work for us, two developers
Since this is HN, some technical details:
Because of limitations on google's push notifications (C2DM), we rolled our own solution, with an xmpp server helping on that side. Every other web-service is built with plain PHP, residing on a different linode vps.
