Daily Mail : Robert Nay, a 14-year-old boy from Spanish Fork, Utah, recently designed a physics-based puzzle game that has become the top free application on the Apple store. Downloaded as an app by more than 2 million iPhone users since its release on 29 December, Bubble Ball involves moving a small blue ball from one side of the screen to the other by steering it around various obstacles. Nay used Corona tools from Ansca Mobile to write his game, and his mother submitted the apps to the App Store and Android marketplaces.
