Jonas Wills is about as O.G. as it gets when it comes to being a mobile developer. He got his start on the iOS platform with Team Phobic and the Bounce On series of platformer games. Later, he joined Backflip Studios and took on the role of game director for the (still) unbelievably popular Dragonvale (Free). Jonas has since left Backflip and is back to being an indie developer, his first solo game is has the working title Realm Runners, take a look:

While the plans aren’t final and aren’t yet public, there’s some really interesting ideas for monetizing this game being floated around. Being an equipment-centric progress game in the same vein as Nonstop Knight (Free), there’s loads of different directions the game could take to be super cool. Realm Runners is still deep in development, and doesn’t have any kind of release date yet.
