Create a series of VERY SHORT minigames for Android (1-2 second play time)

I am looking to create a mini-game app for Android devices only. The app would do the following: 1. Launch with a series (6 to 8) mini-games. 2. These are essentially games that can be completed in 1-2 seconds. They main goal here is that these games are attractive and fun for such a short experience, but also as simple as they can possibly be. There should be no complexity visible to rules, scoring, etc. These are really barebones (but stylish and fun) games. 3. These games all need to use relatively the same mechanic. You simply swipe your finger in a direction to throw/launch/kick/push some game element & that action completes the game. 4. Example games would include: a) kick a football/soccer ball into a goal b) knock over pins with a bowling ball c) kick an American football into the field goal d) throw a skeeball down a ramp for a score e) throw a basketball to a hoop f) swipe an ice hockey puck into a goal g) knock an airhockey puck into a goal i) shoot a target in a shooting gallery 5. Users of the app should be able to download additional games as they become available (for a price). So, there needs to be some form of store mechanism. 6) In fact, although I would like to launch with 6-8 games, I may only decide to make a few of them free and launch with some of these games being sold 7) I am leaving some details out (I would like to sign an NDA first). Some of those details relate to my market. I am expecting players of this game to literally only have a few seconds at a time. So, each game needs to keep score and know where the user left off. On the bowling game, for example, it should be a full 10 frame game. That said, the user may only have time for a single throw at any given time, so the game should be able to keep score across many different play instances. 8) A tight budget is critical, but not at the expense of quality. I am open to discussing the best balance between cost and quality here. 9) I imagine these games as 2D as a 3D engine will add complexity, time, budget and may use more power on the device (I am looking for low power usage as a critical element) 10) If the initial launch goes well, I would like to work with you to determine a schedule where a steady stream of these games can be produced - ultimately I would like to have many of these available. The attached image is simply to show the simplicity I am looking for. It should not be an example of the design quality. I am hoping for a very engaging art style. OPTIONAL ELEMENTS 11) I would like the scoring to be integrated into Android's leader-board score tracking system. This is not necessary, however, as I would like to keep the budget as tight as possible. 12) This one is not necessary at launch, but I would like to also offer a utility that allows other to leverage the simple mechanic and create their own games. They would launch their games through a marketplace we would create and get a cut of any sales, although I am open to your suggestions of any other models for this. They would essentially be skinning the game (changing the ball/puck to a different graphic, changing the graphic for the goal and/or background and changing the scoring graphic and possibly adjust the speed or any physics of the ball/puck along any parameters we can expose. Obviously, bowling has a specific scoring system, so to keep this skinning concept simple, they would use whatever is the simplest game (maybe soccer) as the base for their customization.

Hello, I am an experienced game developers that have released multiple titles for mobile, flash and desktop platforms. My work can be viewed at: http://labugames.com. I can deliver high quality and polished games as a result of my experience in developing and self publishing games. Although you are aiming only for Android platform, I can work with multiplatform flash framework Starling that can target iOS, Android and Web. So, if there is a need to build for other platforms in the future, it will be achievable with little extra cost of testing and deployment. I am looking forward to hear from you. Thank you!
