Bubble Ball Games on iPhone

The world's most frequently downloaded free iPhone application, an engrossing mini-video game called "Bubble Ball," is the creation of a 14-year-old boy who spent weeks developing it at a public library in Utah.

Eighth-grader Robert Nay, who also happens to be a young musical prodigy -- he plays piano, trumpet and mandolin -- said he was inspired by his enthusiasm for electronic games in general and his interest in tinkering with computers. "I played games that were similar to it. 

It appeared for download at the app store December 29," said his mother, Kari Nay. Robert first began working on his invention in November. Angry Birds, the hugely popular smart-phone game, has been toppled from its perch by Bubble Ball, a game designed by an eighth-grader.

The standard Angry Birds game still rules the roost among paid apps. Bubble Ball, a multi-level physics puzzle involving a bouncing ball and moveable ramp, was developed by 14-year-old Robert Nay of Spanish Fork, Utah. Good Morning America asked Nay if he planned to make another game. Channeling an experienced entrepreneur, Nay didn't blink: "It's secret for now." Bubble Ball is available for download at the App Store and Android Marketplace
