Bubble Ball - Robert Nay 14 years old developer

http://bit.ly/iphoneapps4u Bubble Ball went on to 3 million downloads (so far!). Bubble Ball is Robert's first foray into app development, according to Ansca Mobile, the company whose
Corona SDK he chose for developing the app.According to Robert, the built-in physics engine was exactly what he needed to make his app a reality.Bubble Ball, for those who haven't yet tried it, is a physics-based puzzle game which has players guiding a ball to a goal.Various objects are provided for the player to work out a path for the ball so that it reaches its goal.Some objects can be manipulated more than others, while using gravity to your advantage is obviously the key to beating every level.

BubbleBall has been steadily climbing the charts since it was approved in December, and was named the App of the Week in the Corona SDK app showcase on January 9. http://bit.ly/iphoneapps4u

Since then, its popularity has skyrocketed, culminating in its #1 spot on January 13, 2011, Ansca Mobile is proud to confirm.The Spanish Fork, UT 14-year old reportedly started work on BubbleBall with a competing development framework.As he progressed, he realized that Corona SDK's was more appropriate for what he needed to create a game characterized by fun and addictive game play, so he went with it instead."We wholeheartedly congratulate Robert on his initial success and we are eagerly looking forward
to his future creations," said Ansca Mobile."Wait until he gets a little more experience under his belt and really unleashes the power of Corona SDK! Congratulations Robert, well done!" the makers of the SDK
concluded. Robert was also featured on Good Morning America. http://bit.ly/iphoneapps4u

So, what does Bubble Ball have going for it? One word: Gameplay!In Bubble Ball, you're tasked with a simple
mission: Get the ball from point A to point B. Each of the game's 21 levels gives you a different route to navigate with different game pieces to assist in your deceptively simple-worded quest. Place the geometric pieces however which way you please to create ramps, platforms, and even catapults to send your ball to the finish line. At first, it's easy; but in the later levels, it can be quite the stumper — but, you will not put your phone down until you figure the very last one out!
