The founders of Pittsburgh-based LeftRight Studios, a mobile game developer, are celebrating the quick, but not altogether unexpected, success of their iPhone game smackBOTS…Based on the classic game Rock’em Sock’em Robots, smackBOTS takes the robot boxing ring digital.

We had a great time at the Launch Party on Wednesday night. It was great to see all the familiar faces from previous parties throughout the week, not to mention all the new faces we met. Of course we brought our trusty Rock’em Sock’em, and played plenty of rounds with party attendees. Of course smackBOTS also go it’s fair share of play. Probably the most famous person to touch smackBOTS since its release, Steve Wozniak cofounder of Apple got to play a couple rounds of both and loved our t-shirts!
