14-year-old tops Free Apps charts with first iPhone game
Making the (8th) grade
Ever feel like you could achieve more with your time? Well, prepare to feel awful, as 14-year-old Robert Nay from Utah has designed a hit game for the App Store.
It's called Bubble Ball, and it's a simple-but-addictive physics puzzler.
After scoring a million downloads within a fortnight of its December 29th release, the game shot to the top of the iTunes Free Apps list – which bagged it another 400,000 downloads.
If this proactive prodigy makes you feel guilty, you're not the only one. Maybe it's time to think long and hard about realising that untapped potential...
Alternatively, you could just play Robert's game instead. Bubble Ball is available for free on the App Store and Android Market now.
