Has a big userbase on Android, but nearly as much on iOS. Made around 3k$/month for a couple of months a year ago, now it's close to nothing as I stopped developing it, don't really now why. The whole thing is made with LibGDX for Android, using the (now defunct) RoboVM for iOS.

Although they're not as open as Signal, they've also passed several security reviews and I do like their transparency reviews (https://www.wickr.com/about-us/blog/2016/08/01/wickr-transpa...)

Facebook / Twitter posts, then nagged everybody I knew to share it (I mean, really nagged them). Before I knew it, it was trending in Portugal and kept spreading to other countries.

It got some cool traction (~3M downloads) and I've ended up doing an iOS version, and a landing page for it (http://2121.io/). Was pretty cool to do a start to finish side-project, since most of them end scrapped. I expect to start developing a new game later on this year. :)

In the last 12 months it made around $25000, so about $200 per hour.

I'm not counting with time spent maintaining the game, but it should come to about 2~4h/week in the last year or so.

Just published my first Android game, built entirely off-working hours. This is kind of a major thing for me, being able to finally release a side-project and not just leave it unfinished. So, feedback is more than welcome, try it out!
