Nineteen-year-old Damilola Idowu is a University student with a lot on
his plate. Between attending classes and studying at university in the
UK, this British-born student still finds room in his schedule to pursue
his passion: application development.
One need only glance at the reviews and download statistics of his
first product launch, a puzzle app called “The Unbeatable Game,” to
surmise that thousands of mobile gamers are grateful that he made the
time.
“The Unbeatable Game” is a mobile application, available on Apple
Store only for free, that tries to stump the player with a series of
brain-teasing puzzles. It climbed to the top of the charts after its
launch in August 2014, reaching the position of number one in the trivia
games category in Ghana within 24 hours.
Since then, the game has maintained a high sales volume and
noteworthy customer satisfaction with an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars
based on thousands of reviews.
When asked what inspired him to develop this hugely-popular app,
Damilola cited a keen interest in IT and a
desire to wow the casual gaming community with a puzzle app that takes
advantage of the numerous feedback channels that mobile devices offer
(such as motion-sensing, inertial sensors and GPS.)
Despite this lucrative playing field, Dami doesn't intend on letting
his successful first-time launch steal focus from his long-term goals.
He said: “I'm focusing on finishing my degree in International Business.
It's something that will make my parents proud and carry me through
whatever the future brings.”
Damilola is currently working on part two of “The Unbeatable Game” which is due to launch at the end of the year.
