Angry Birds Usurped By 14-Year-Old Boy Atop Free Apps Chart
On that fateful day in January, a seemingly unknown app by the name of Bubble Ball rocketed to the top of the Free App List, bouncing Angry Birds Seasons Free from atop its lofty post. For any developer this would be a feat of momentous significance, but it is even more impressive when you further examine Bubble Ball's developer, Nay Games. While big name studios have the budget to throw scores of experienced developers at one specific project, Nay Games is comprised of a mother/son duo, of which the lead designer and programmer isn't even old enough to apply for a driver's license.
And don't worry about the team over at Nay Games not seeing any profit from this Bubble Ball adventure, because Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat.com is reporting that they already have plans in the works for patching in monetized microtransactions soon.
This has to be one of the best "feel good" stories of the new year, so why not give Bubble Ball a download for yourself and see what all the hype is about? 1.5 million downloads can't be wrong!
