Bubble Ball reaches the Top Spot with 6 Million Downloads
Ansca Mobile has proudly announced that the Bubble Ball App has ousted Rovio's Angry Birds from the throne as the #1 free title in the iTunes App Store. The 14-year old sensation from The Spanish Fork, UT, has caused quite a stir (and considerable media attention) when his app reached monstrous levels 6 million downloads in a little over a month! What's more, this is Robert's first time to come out with an app and the game has received no prior media coverage or PR before it caught everybody's attention due to the game's phenomenal success.
Robert (who is also the pint-sized founder of Nay Games) finally decided on using Ansca Mobile's Corona SDK as his mobile development platform of choice. He started with other competing SDKs but switched to the Corona SDK when he saw how fast and how easy it was to develop the game using Corona's advanced development tools. With the Corona SDK from Ansca Mobile, he was able to focus more on the interface and gameplay instead of the coding.
Those who haven't tried Bubble Ball yet will soon find themselves addicted to this simple but wickedly puzzling game. The goal of the game is to get the bubble rolling towards the flag. You need to use the objects in the level to create a path for the bubble to roll. These objects (made with wood or metal) will react differently to gravity metal objects will stay in place while wood objects will fall when you press start and the ball starts rolling. You can try to advance from one level to another or play around and discover whether you have the logical thinking skills to achieve success in a certain level.
Bubble Ball has certainly achieved surprising levels of success. In just a month after it was made available, the game has already garnered 2 million downloads. A short few weeks later, the number has tripled into 6 million downloads!
Ansca Mobile is proud of Robert Nay's achievement, especially at his young age and, along with the rest of the apps development world, waits with excitement to see what the young prodigy will offer with his next app using the Corona SDK.
Ansca Mobile has created Corona SDK with app developers in mind. The Corona SDK is inarguably the most advanced mobile development platform out there. You can start developing your game by downloading the Corona SDK (for free) from the Ansca Mobile website (AnscaMobile.com).
