Company: Nay Games
Age: 14
Website: naygames.com
At age 14, Robert Nay's first game, Bubble
Ball, was downloaded more than two
million times within two weeks of its
launch.
Not bad considering that the average
mobile game receives a few hundred

the monster hit ''Angry Birds'' out of the
number 1 most downloaded free game
spot in the Apple app store.
