Free iPhone game written by a 14-year-old topped the App Store charts
By Stela Roman /Chișinău / Moldova.ORG/ -- A free game written by an eighth grader is on top of the iTunes App Store charts.
Bubble Ball is the game coded by Robert Nay, a 14-year-old from Spanish Fork, Utah. The game is a physics simulator that challenges players to use objects and gravity to guide a ball to its destination.
On Thursday, January 13, it topped the App Store free chart and had more than 400,000 downloads on that day alone. According to reports, Nay‘s Bubble Ball app has already been downloaded more than 2 million times from the Apple App Store for the last two weeks.
Bubble Ball showed up in the app store on Dec. 29 and had a million downloads in the first two weeks.The game was named the App of the Week in the Corona SDK app showcase on January 9.
“I was pretty surprised by how well it was doing,” Nay told Mobilized. Nay said he plans to add more levels to the free game and then eventually add still more games as an in-app purchase
A similar story happened in October, when another 14 year old boy has authored an Apple iPhone app that has been downloaded no less than 900,000 times!
