12-year-old boy creates iPhone app to help fight cancer

A twelve-year-old boy, Logan Pazol, conceived, created and programmed a game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch called “Donut Fighter” to raise money to aid fighting cancer. All of the proceeds from your purchase go directly to research and treat children’s cancer.

In Donut Fighter, you square off against a 5’ 10” pink frosted donut with sprinkles. Use the joystick to move forward/backward and to duck. Every time your punch or kick connects with the donut your valor increases. When the donut hits or kicks you, you lose valor. Whoever reaches 100 valor points first wins the round. In order to progress to the next round you must beat the donut.

The first few rounds are designed to be easy, but don’t get over confident. The donut will adjust to your fighting style and the rounds will get increasingly more difficult. To win you have to beat the donut for all ten rounds. Good luck!

Logan’s goal is sell 10,000 copies of Donut Fighter by March.

  1. Hurray fro Logan’s run.

    JOKINGLY – DID not know DONUTS cause CANCER?

    1. Logan’s Mom here. Thank you all for the support!!!! As for the person pretending to be my son, I’m sure you can find better things to do with your time than try to sabotage the good intentions of a young boy.

  2. Mom…relax. One of the 20 or so comments on this thread isn’t going to make a difference. You taught me to have a sense of humor and think for myself. I’m just using some sarcasm to call out how quick people are to trust in something like this. It’s so easy to anonymously donate a dollar so you could feel good about yourself and then go on your happy way ignoring people you physically encounter in your day to day life who may also need some assistance. Do us all a favor everyone…buy the game, of course, but look into volunteering time at a hospital as well. That would probably mean more to someone suffering than a few thousand (millions hopefully) dollars sent to the hospital.

    Maybe you’re right though Mom…maybe that’s one of the problems w/the world? In today’s world you can’t immediately trust everything you see slapped up on the internet. People that may want to give, aren’t sure the funds would go where they’re told they’d go. I think my next game will make a statement about that.

    Hey, while we’re at it, can you make your awesome meatloaf for dinner tomorrow?
