Maker of ‘Gushers’ iPhone app pledge 100% of sales to Gulf oil spill relief efforts

Share |


Razorleaf Studios, the creators of an oil exploration themed game for the iPhone and iPad called “Gushers,” has committed 100% of sales generated by the app to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.

According to Razorleaf, “Gushers,” which was released in December of 2009, features “an actual oil drilling environment, but also emphasizes safe oil techniques through various game elements.” If that’s the case, too bad BP’s executives didn’t whip out their iPhones and download this simulator prior to drilling in the Gulf.

Regardless, the Connecticut-based development studio is owned and operated by two college students who are apparently twin brothers.

"My twin brother Chris and I cannot even imagine the damage caused by the spill and felt that we really needed to do something to help out, said Anthony Allen, co-founder of Razorleaf. “Being college students, our funds are relatively limited, but having had developed an oil-themed game, 'Gushers', several months before the current oil spill, we decided that the game would be the perfect medium for us to raise funds to help out the Gulf region."

“Gushers” can be found on Razorleaf’s website and downloaded directly from the Apple App Store.
