Just the title screen, not a complete port. Nor would 1FPS be probably considered "working" :)

He put the OS glue in place in 1 week and that sounds about right for this sort of effort, given some prior experience with writing portable code. The bulk of effort was spent earlier on abstracting principal code from the platform specifics, and sounds like he did all the right things there. Good stuff.

He is extremely productive, to be fair - "Shining Rock Software" is only him, the entire game, pretty successful on Steam, is just coded and maintained by him.
It's an absorbing simcity-esque game, as long as you don't go in expecting Civ/SimCity replay value it's definitely worth it if you like those type of games, or at the very least putting on your wishlist for the steam winter sale.

The level of quality for a one-person team is phenomenal.

Oh, I agree.
