I released this game on iOS (back in 2010), and it was the main thing that got me get a job as lead developer for a startup that made iOS games and apps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy08ohBLGhE

Technically I had one other dev job before that (not in games, making websites and apps in ASP and VBA), although I got that job from a friend who knew I could code due to indie game dev meetups, convinced me to move upstate to the Chicago suburbs and be his roommate, then bugged his boss until he hired me. I barely knew him, but it ended up being a good decision because I ended up really fitting in here and I'm still in the area 12 years later.
