Hi guys, I am the art half of a two man team. We just released our first game, Tanuki Forest, and opted for iOS as our platform. We had some lovely reviews and made no money at all! (so far)
My coder and I have decided that whatever we decide to do next needs to be much more involved with the indie scene nect time around and plan to run a devlog etc as we develop the game rather than silence until releasing it.
Tanuki Forest, sees players taking control of a mysterious forest creature as he strives to save his beloved home from the dark forces that surround it. The game features rich hand painted artwork in full retina resolution. It focuses on accessible, one touch, gameplay and offers players an immersive,addictive, fun experience.
Here is our games hero. Akio the flying civet cat (all in game art assets).
He keeps a blog here but be warned he talks some nonsense:

Periodically you reach Shinto gates, where the animals can be left with the forest spirits and returned to safety, making it easier to fly again, or you can decide to keep the chain going making it more difficult for yourself but earning the player a higher score.
The game features a set of guest heroes too (other playable characters who change the game slightly when you play with them, we need to make more of this feature in future versions)
trailer is here:
The game is here. It is free and as it stands devoid of any IAP aggression so it wont bug you at all, hence us making no money so far!:(
Thanks for looking, we are looking forward to becoming a part of the tigsource community.
