    Hmm how long is a piece of string?

    I think you are asking a development cost of a game (not the price of the actual app). Work out an hourly rate to charge and estimate how long it will take to make the game.

    Some would say double that figure - even triple it...but it will give you some idea.
    You really need to know all the features the app requires - amount artwork - there are so many variables this is a very hard question to answer in one post.

    This game http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sugar-high/id516559004?mt=8 was made in Poland by Topware developer. 2 months ago it was a meeting during Game Exhibitions with this developer and he said that the game was made for 6 months using Cocos 2D by 1 programmer and 1 graphic. The cost was about 15.000$. The cost of work in Poland is about 40% lower than in Western Europe and USA, so the real cost could be about 21.000$. Of course Topware is quite a big company not small independent studio.

    Are you asking how much it will cost you to make your own game or how much someone else might charge you to make the game you have in mind?

    If it's just your cost and you're going to do all the work I'd say the above estimate is a good starting point. However if you are thinking of hiring outside, professional help I'd expect much higher costs.
