IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BuBuCompany today announces BlackTower2 RETAKE 2.0 for iOS, an update to their free, fast-paced, monster matching game. Featuring all black and white graphics, except for the amethyst mystical jewel, players must match the action of a cartoon monster with an action depicted in two or more different pictures. Selecting correctly moves them up the Black Tower, and selecting incorrectly ends the game unless players have earned extra lives.

Gunsan, Korea, Republic Of - BuBuCompany today is pleased to announce BlackTower2 RETAKE 2.0 for iOS, an update to their free, fast-paced, monster matching game. Featuring all black and white graphics, except for the amethyst mystical jewel, players must match the action of a cartoon monster with actions depicted in two or more different pictures.

As this occurs, a beam of light illuminating the monster from above quickly narrows until it disappears. The player must then try to quickly match what they have just seen with two or more still images below. Choosing correctly causes the player's character to jump up a level.

Players can Lifeup and add a life, Timeup and extend the time the light is on, and achieve bonus points. Players can also enhance their power through lightning Powerups. The game features humorous monsters and helps players improve their reaction time.

Feature Highlights:

Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:41 am (PDT)



Here it is Swarmbit - the new proximity social network powered by A-Tono - Published on 10/19/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Swarmbit, the new proximity social network powered by A-Tono, allows to connect and communicate in real time with people around you - even if you do not know - also it allows to share in a quickly and easily way different types of files such as photos, videos, music, presentations, documents and many other ones. Now you can download for free from the App Store only the beta version for the iPhone, with the aim to collect many feedbacks from users and to improve the app.

Milan, Italy - The new proximity social network powered by A-Tono is totally free, intuitive and unique. It allows to connect and communicate in the real time with people who are in the same "circle of proximity" - even if you do not know - also it allows to share in a quickly and easily way some different types of files such as photos, videos, music, presentations, documents and many other ones. The most important characteristic is the immediacy, the possibility of exchanging and having them "here and now" without waiting.

Just you start Swarmbit, the main screen "Map" automatically detects the smartphone position: now you can create your own folder in that area and enter the required information. One of these is the temporary folder duration, which is the number of hours that will remain active and visible on the map (minimum 1 hour and maximum 24 hours). After this time, its content will no longer be available.

A key characteristic of the app is just the "temporary", the possibility of sharing the contents limited in time by downloading them directly and freely from the folder.
The basic condition is that you are into the range previously set: from a minimum of 100 meters to a maximum of 1,000 meters.
The contents downloaded will be stored in MyFiles and will remain available even when the folder is expired or if we move away from the circle of proximity.

Then you can manage, delete or export your files by the main CLOUDS: DropBox, SugarSync and Box.net, so they are always available on your smartphone and on your PC.

Not only as well as being easy-to-use, Swarmbit also has a strong social component: if you enable the Board, you give a chance to the other "swarm members": they can comment the single file and the folder.

Now you can download from the App Store only the beta version for the iPhone, with the aim to collect many feedbacks from users and to improve the app.

Coming soon it is also planned the release for Android and for Windows Phone 7.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 5.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Swarmbit 1.0.1 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

IDC Projects Releases New Location-Based Game

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:30 am (PDT)



IDC Projects Releases New Location-Based Game - Published on 10/31/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IDC Projects announced the beta launch of Hazards, their newest app for iOS and Android. Hazards is a social game that will use the phone's GPS to compete with friends by placing "hazards," virtual traps placed in real locations. IDC Projects is looking to define a new market for the location based gaming community while allowing players to experience a true gaming atmosphere and maintain a strong social aspect of play. The game is scheduled for release on iOS and Android by the end of 2011.

Rolla, Missouri - IDC Projects announced the beta launch of their newest app, Hazards. IDC Projects is looking to define a new market for the location based gaming community while allowing players to experience a true gaming atmosphere and maintain a strong social aspect of play.

After months of design and development, the beta test is coming to the students and faculty of Missouri S&T, located in Rolla, Missouri. Chosen for their technical and gaming knowledge, IDC Projects sought a controlled testing atmosphere with a large population of tech savvy consumers to test their application. Missouri S&T proves to be the perfect test environment.

Hazards is a social game that uses the phone's GPS to compete with friends by placing "hazards," virtual traps placed in real locations. Hazards was conceived as a way to engage the location based game population and add some risk and reward to the typical check-in process of apps such as Foursquare or Gowalla. Internal market research indicates that there are not any games that incorporate both the location based nature of Hazards while focusing on being a strategy game. The Android only beta release is available as of 10/31/2011. Beta testers can download a copy at IDC Projects online. The game is scheduled for release on iOS and Android by the end of 2011.

IDC Projects has implemented several features that set Hazards apart from the typical location based, massively multi-player, online game. They have applied the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate players which increases playability for early adopters or in remote areas with a small population. This strategy was executed as a result of other location based apps struggling in remote or rural areas.

The beta test will primarily determine the scalability of the AI and it's perceived effect by users. By design, normal users will be unaware of the system. As the number of players grows in a region, the AI will gradually remove itself from operation, resulting in purely organic players. More information on the capabilities and limitations of the AI system can be read on the Hazards website.

There are several types of hazards which players can use to affect other players in different ways. The points system used in Hazards are "Quoins" and can be gained or lost based on the players placing or trespassing on hazards. The core strategy of the game is based upon when and where to place a hazard and the characteristics chosen for it. Played foolishly, a player can easily lose all of their starting Quoins. If placed strategically, however, the hazards placed can reap great rewards for a smart player.

Aristoteles 1.0 for iOS - Free App Calculates Blood Alcohol Content

Aristoteles 1.0 for iOS - Free App Calculates Blood Alcohol Content - Published on 10/31/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Power App today introduces Aristoteles 1.0 for iOS, their free Utility that calculates blood alcohol content based on data supplied by the user. The app displays five empty numeric fields: Weight, Height, Age, Desired Blood Alcohol, and Sex M/F. After entering the required variables, the app provides a scrolling list of the quantity of popular alcoholic beverages that must be consumed to reach the Desired Blood Alcohol level, with 0% to 0.08% allowed to drive legally, depending on the country.

Pfaeffikon, Switzerland - Power App today is pleased to introduce Aristoteles 1.0 for iOS, their free Utility that calculates blood alcohol level or blood alcohol content based on data supplied by the user. The app displays five empty numeric fields: Weight, Height, Age, Desired Blood Alcohol percentage, and Sex M/F. After entering the required variables, the app provides a scrolling list of the quantity of popular alcoholic beverages that must be consumed to reach the target Blood Alcohol Content. The legal BAC, after which a person is driving while intoxicated, varies from country to country and state to state, and can be between 0% and 0.08%

Aristoteles also displays the quantity of 100% alcohol the user would need to consume to reach the Desired Blood Alcohol percentage. The percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream is determined by several variables. For example, men have a higher water content in their blood (58%) than women (49%). This suggests that men would need to drink more to become intoxicated than women of the same weight. MakeMeDrunk takes into account three other factors besides gender: Height, Weight, and Age. Because the app accounts for the four primary variables, its resultant calculations are highly accurate.

While it is universally recognized that drinking affects driving performance, standard vary widely. Russia and Hungary have a zero tolerance policy with no BAC above 0% permissible. China and Poland have a 0.02% policy, Germany and France set the limit at 0.05%, while the US and UK permit up to 0.08%.

After filling in all the variables, touching the calculate button brings up a scrolling list of results. Users may request results in any number of the three categories of alcoholic beverages listed: Beer, Wine, Hard Liquor. In each category the exact number of liters necessary to reach the desired alcohol level is displayed. Also shown is the alcohol content by volume of each beverage. For example, and individual needs to consume 0.220 liters (220 ml, 7.4 oz) of beer (5% alcohol, 10 proof) to reach 0.08% BAC. The same person would need to drink 0.069 liters (69 ml, 2.3 oz) of table wine (8% alcohol, 16 proof), or 0.0131 liters (13.1 ml, 0.44 oz) of bourbon (43% alcohol, 86 proof) to reach 0.08% BAC.

Feature Highlights:
* Universal calculator gives Blood Alcohol Content for all people
* Universal calculator allows entry of legal BAC limit for driving in any country
* Accurate calculations based on Height, Weight, Age, and Gender
* Free calculator provides a guideline for safe driving

"MakeMeDrunk is a free calculator designed to supplement common sense when it comes to drinking and driving," stated GM Christian Schaffner. "Just to be safe, open your iPhone, plug in the numbers, and check to see if it's OK for you to drive."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 4.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Aristoteles 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

eduGAME Release Toddler Activity Island - A game to shout about - Published on 10/31/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based EduGAME today announces Toddler Activity Island 1.11, their new high quality educational app for iOS devices. Aimed at preschoolers in the initial stages of mastering basic skills, Toddler Activity Island contains four entertaining games which in turn enhance a child's knowledge of basic numeracy, promote visual discrimination skills and allow for the development of creativity. Kids yell Snap!, sing and play along, sort shells by dragging them to their matching shapes, and more.

Warwickshire, United Kingdom - EduGAME is pleased to announce a new high quality educational app for iPhone and iPod touch. Toddler Activity Island is an engaging app aimed at preschoolers in the initial stages of mastering basic skills and has been specially developed to be simple to use.

"Toddler Activity Island contains four entertaining games which in turn enhance a child's knowledge of basic numeracy, promote visual discrimination skills and allow for the development of creativity" says educational consultant Ruth Knibb at eduGAME

Containing four enjoyable games Toddler Activity Island introduces a new element of game interactivity by encouraging the child to shout SNAP! in the crocodile game.

Games:
* Down by the river lives the crocodile who loves to play snap - he's very quick at spotting which pairs of animals are the same so the child must shout 'SNAP!' (or tap on his mouth) as soon as they see two that match. The first to three correct matches wins the game.

* Deep in the rainforest sit the beautiful singing birds of paradise who can sing five traditional nursery rhymes. The child can sing and play along, deciding on the tempo as they listen-will it be fast (tap on the cheetah) or slow (tap on the tortoise)? Or they can create their very own singing birds musical composition using any of the notes from the octave the birds can sing.

* On the seashore with the giraffe, elephant and parrot, the tide washes up colourful sea shells. The child sorts the shells by dragging them to their matching shapes on the sand. Each time they're correct three new shells will be washed ashore for sorting.

* Out to sea the number dolphins enjoy jumping above the waves - the child taps each one to count how many there are. The number counted can be heard and seen.

Additional Features Include:
* Settings option for counting dolphins to 10, 20 or in twos.
* Settings option for a faster SNAP! Game

Reviewed by App for Homeschooling "With its high interest learning activities and thoughtful options and difficulty levels, Toddler Activity Island is great value for preschoolers."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 11.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Toddler Activity Island is only $0.99 (or local equivalent) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.

Kids Canvas for iPad - A unique, expressive toolkit for kids and adults - Published on 10/31/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Epicore introduces Kids Canvas 1.4, for iPad. Kids Canvas for iPad allows kids to express themselves using perler beads, mosaic, marbles, cross stitches, candy, living bugs, crayon and paint splash. You can also use animated paint, making the picture come alive as you paint, like something out of a kids cartoon movie. You can also switch the style of a painting at any time. Easily share pictures via email and facebook so anyone with Kids Canvas installed can pick up your project and modify it.

Stockholm, Sweden - Epicore today is pleased to introduce Kids Canvas 1.4, for iPad. The Swedish iOS developer Epicore has done some research and believe that there is a lack of apps that effectively develop the children's creativity. The children are usually forced into prefabricated themes and templates, limiting the true creative challenge. Epicore also believe that too much creative freedom is difficult to master, inhibiting creativity and playfulness. Epicore's aim was to create an app that is fun for young and old, and that gives children the opportunity to express themselves according to their own ability.

Epicore decided to build an app called Kids Canvas, featuring timeless tools of expression such as perler beads, mosaic and embroidery. These provide a great amount of creative freedom while still making it easy to create beautiful pictures.

Kids Canvas Features:
* Ten creative techniques and growing
* Suitable for kids of all ages
* Completely free of advertising and in-app payments
* Easily share and collaborate via Email and Facebook
* Switch the technique of your picture at any time
* Save as many artworks as you like
* Available in English, German, Spanish, French and Swedish

Kids Canvas for iPad gives you a large suitcase full of creative tools and it's as fun for a three year old as it is for a thirty year old. Anyone can create great works with perler beads, mosaic, marbles, candy and cross stitches. You can even paint with living ladybugs, each one with a mind of their own. The app lets you easily transform your work from one technique to another. If you made a nice mosaic for example, you can see how it would look as cross stitches or perler beads.

During the development of the app, Epicore began experimenting with the grid pattern normally used for mosaic and perler beads. They found that one can use the same model with paint splash and crayons, which are also included in the app. Then they found a way to make the color move, much like a cartoon. It's hard to explain, but the painting comes to life while you're painting and the kids love it!

Kids Canvas lets you save your work and continue whenever you want. You can save as many pictures as you like. Easily share your pictures via email and, if the recipient has Kids Canvas installed, they can open the image and collaborate.

Kids Canvas is to be used by a very young audience, so it is very easy to use and barely contains any text at all. The text content is available in English, German, French, Spanish and Swedish. The app comes fully functional and there are no ads, add-on features or hidden costs in the app, so parents can safely relax while their kids are painting.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 9.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Kids Canvas 1.4 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

War of Words Free 3.0 for iOS - Online, Crossword Game with Bomb Tiles - Published on 10/31/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wolf Studios today announces War of Words Free 3.0 for iOS, their crossword puzzle game featuring Action Tiles in addition to Letter Tiles. Played much like other crossword games, players have 8 tiles on their racks and can play both Action and Letter tiles during their turn. The 17 different Action Tiles, including Bomb, Barricade, and Thief Tiles, allow players to destroy, block, and steal opponent's words. It supports online play with up to 30 friends, or local play in Pass and Play mode.

Portland, Oregon - Wolf Studios today is pleased to announce War of Words Free 3.0 for iOS, an update to their successful crossword puzzle game that features Action Tiles in addition to Letter Tiles. Played much like other crossword games, players have 8 tiles on their racks and can play both Action and Letter tiles during their turn. The 17 different Action Tiles, including Bomb, Barricade, and Thief Tiles, allow players to blow up, block, and steal opponent's words. The game supports online play with up to 30 friends, or local play in Pass and Play mode, plus Game Center compatibility with Leaderboards and Achievements. Long a favorite of crossword puzzle gamers, War of Words has been in the Top 100 iPad Word Games in the U.S. App Store since its introduction in March 2011.

In its animated splash screen, accompanied by a large vocal chorus, brass, and beating drums, War of Words greets the player, "In a world of friendly word games, one game asks the question. Why have friends when you can have enemies?" Are those fans of multiplayer, crossword puzzle games somehow less susceptible to the competitive instincts that enflame other gamers? Well, judging by this game's success, no. With War of the Words, logophiles finally have the opportunity to infuse their ordinarily polite gameplay with some refreshingly aggressive offensive and defensive tactics.

War of Words reinvigorates the crossword puzzle genre by introducing Action Tiles, which can be played before or after Letter Tiles during a player's turn. Generally, Action Tiles are played first followed by Letter Tiles. More than one Action Tile can be played, and, as usual, players can form more than one contiguous word in a turn. For example, a player might use a Bomb Tile to blow up a 3x3 block of tiles (causing removal of tiles and concommitant reductions in score for all players affected), then play a Barricade Tile (preventing all players from placing a tile on that spot, until it is removed using a Bomb Tile), then put down a Multiplier Tile, and finally create a word on the board that goes on top of the Multiplier Tile (and earn the particular letter or word scoring bonus).

Action Tiles:
* Bomb Tiles let players destroy their opponent�s letters
* Thief Tiles allow players to steal words from other players
* Land Mine Tiles permit players to hide a bomb that will go off at a later time
* Multiplier Tiles multiply scoring of letters and words (8 types)
* Reverse Tiles let word be played backwards
* Start Over Tiles let players start a word anywhere � without connecting to another word
* Use an Extra Turn Tile to play two turns in a row
* Barricade Tiles enable gamers to block strategic locations on the board
* Shield Tiles protect areas from opponents
* Wildcard Tiles are blank and can be multiple letters at the same time

Feature Highlights:
* Based on the standard, online, crossword gameplay loved by word gamers worldwide
* Players are no longer limited to just letter tiles - now included are Action Tiles
* 24 different board layouts to try
* Play online with up to 30 friends at once, or play at home with friends using Pass and Play
* Start a Random game to get into the action fast
* Online Leaderboards let players compare their best scores against friends and others
* More than 90 Achievements to keep games interesting
* Word definitions for those crazy plays
* Instantly start a game with any Game Center friends
* Game Center Achievements and Statistics
* Online chat
* Push notifications lets users know when it is their turn to play
* Invite friends using Facebook, Twitter, or email
* Find friends using a contact list, an email address, a Game Center nickname, and more

"War of Words is the next generation online crossword game," commented Jeremy Fuller of Wolf Studios. "It starts with the turn-based word spelling gameplay you know and love � and adds bombs! Have you ever wanted to blow up your opponent�s words? Or maybe steal some words for yourself? Now you can."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S, iPod touch generation 3/4, or iPad 1/2
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 46.1 MB
* Internet connection required (WiFi or Cellular)
* Game Center account required

Pricing and Availability:
War of Words 3.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. A paid version of War of Words 3.0, which is not ad-supported, is available for $1.99 (USD) from the App Store or as an in-app purchase.

Organize your life quickly and let HeadFinder take care of the rest - Published on 10/31/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Singapore based App. Fields today announced the recent update of HeadFinder for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices running on iOS 4.2 or later. An innovative new personal organization tool, HeadFinder blends an eloquently simple structure together with a diverse array of practical features to provide user with a single place to keep their lives running smoothly! Newly improved, HeadFinder 1.1.1 now comes with multiple language options, reminder backups, and more.

Singapore � App. fields, an emerging new application developer, has today announced their excitement over the recent update of HeadFinder for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices running on iOS 4.2 or later. HeadFinder is a task manager with a diverse array of practical features that provide users with a single place to keep their lives running smoothly. Newly updated, version 1.1.1 of the app now includes multiple language options, reminder backups, and more. HeadFinder 1.1.1 is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for $0.99 in the Productivity category.

HeadFinder was built with the average user in mind. It�s structured to allow users to create schedules, task reminders, alarms, and notes in seconds rather than minutes, freeing their minds � and more specifically their worries � from the numbing trudge of the daily routine. This unique Productivity app lets users create and save almost any event or reminder they want in three easy steps. For example: To create a reminder users simply input a title � making it as catchy or as practical as they want � set a date, then set the time for the reminder to issue an alert. It�s that simple! Single taps on alerts delay reminders and the like by any period the user wishes as well!

Among the many upgrades included as part of HeadFinder�s recent update, the app now includes flexible language options � German,Hebrew,Spanish, Italian, and Chinese. A reminder back up feature to ensure important alerts are never missed, as well as a streamlined time-switch function to move around tasks and reminders are now available within the app as well. The continued success of HeadFinder within the iOS marketplace isn�t simply because of its practical features, it�s because the app itself was designed be agronomical in both its function and its look. This ensures that the app is actually as easy to use as its simple structure implies. Everything is done with the end user in mind, and no details were left behind.
