Neon Play's new publishing division launches Jumbled for iPhone - Published on 12/29/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Brightside Mobile today introduces Jumbled 1.0.1, its new addictive gravity-based puzzle game for iOS devices. Jumbled is the first game title to be released from Neon Play's new publishing division. Jumbled contains over 90 brain-teasing gravity puzzles across five beautiful stages. Based on a simple premise, the aim is to move all of the blocks around the space until they fit perfectly into the empty shape provided. The faster each level is completed the more stars are awarded.

Cirencester, United Kingdom - Brightside Mobile, the new publishing arm of the #1 UK's mobile games studio Neon Play, has just launched an addictive iPhone puzzle game. Jumbled is the first game title to be released from Neon Play's new publishing division.

Jumbled, like all great mobile games, has a simple premise. The aim is to move all of the blocks around the space until they fit perfectly into the empty shape provided. There are over 90 levels and the faster each level is completed the more stars are awarded.

Obtaining three stars on every level is not only immensely satisfying, but also very helpful. Each star earns the player coins which can then be used to buy hints and skips from the Jumbled Store.

The learning and difficulty curve of the game is fine tuned and players will appreciate the developers decision to add hints, especially when the levels become more and more challenging. Later stages introduce a greater selection of interesting shapes that will challenge even the professional puzzle enthusiast.

Jumbled has something for everyone, from the greatest puzzler to the player who likes trying to put a square block in a round hole.

Oli Christie, CEO of Neon Play commented, "We're delighted about Jumbled being our first game to launch under Brightside Mobile. It's a fantastic, easy to pick up and play puzzle game that you can enjoy anywhere. Beats a crossword!"

Brightside Mobile is looking to publish the greatest apps in the App Store which have not yet been a commercial success. You are invited to contact Brightside Mobile if you think your game is in that category and are interested in having Brightside Mobile as a publishing partner.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch or iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later
* 19.9MB

Pricing and Availability
Jumbled 1.0.1 is free to download and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Plush Ninja 1.0 Free for iOS - Slice Plush, Toy, Zombie Bears to Pieces - Published on 12/30/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

QUByte Interactive today introduces Plush Ninja 1.0 free for iOS, a sequel to their hit Plush Wars action Game. Players must defend the castle against zombie stuffed toy bears, covered with plush faux fur. Players slash & swipe to dismember bears trying to leap over the castle wall. Ten or more consecutive sword cuts scores a Cutter Plush Combo, and Shuriken Plush Traps, Cyclonic Plush Traps, and Tesla Plush Traps create mass mayhem. Players must avoid killing friendly PlushBalls or lose a life.

Sao Paulo, Brazil - QUByte Interactive today introduces Plush Ninja 1.0 free for iOS, a sequel to their popular Plush Wars action Game. Players must defend the castle against marauding stuffed toy bears, covered with plush faux fur. Recently undead, the zombie bears are no longer cute PlushBears, but ZomBears, as they seek vengeance against the PlushBalls. Players use fingers to slash & swipe, dismembering bears trying to leap over the castle wall. Ten or more consecutive sword cuts scores a Plush Combo and Shuriken Plush Traps, Cyclonic Plush Traps, and Tesla Plush Traps create mass mayhem. Players must avoid killing friendly, sword-wielding PlushBalls or lose a life. The game features three modes of play: Time, Infinity, and Insane.

Played in landscape orientation, Plush Ninja features outstanding 3D graphics & animation. There are many styles of ZomBears, each fully animated. As the bears are launched upward toward the castle wall from the fields below, they try to maintain their balance and stay upright. Combos can be made by hitting the same bear again, but rapid slashing of many attackers is required to achieve the necessary ten or more hits. The slashing graphics are dramatic and colorful and accompanied by realistic sword sounds.

Feature Highlights:
* Special prizes for daily play
* Slice the ZomBears to pieces and make as many combos as you can
* Many kinds of traps to help cut them up
* Several sword upgrades at your disposal, so you can use your multitouch skills on many ZomBears at the same time
* Do not rest, the enemies attack in daylight and at night as well!
* OpenFeint Leaderboards
* Three modes of play: Time, Infinity, and Insane

The are three different kinds of Traps to help the Plush Ninjas kill bears more effectively, and the animation, Retina display compatible, is fun and imaginative, making good use of 3D effects. The Shuriken Plush Traps are Ninja throwing stars that are fired en masse from atop the castle, impaling the zombie bear hordes. Sucking the airborne ursines into deadly circles of wind are the Cyclonic Plush Traps. And the Tesla Plush Traps incinerate the brown, teddy, and panda bears in giant arcs of raw electricity.

"Use the ancestral ninja's art to fight those ruthless enemies," advised Marivaldo Cabral of QUByte. "Slice each one of them and use several traps at your disposal in this addicting and fun game. Get many kinds of swords and enhance your attack power to finish off these fluffy zombies."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 27.5 MB - iPhone

MEJJI Puzzle Arrives on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad

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

MEJJI Puzzle Arrives on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - Published on 12/30/11

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virtuoso Works Limited is pleased to announce the release of MEJJI 1.0 for the iOS devices. MEJJI, also called LondonPuzzle, is a left-brain right-brain challenge, requiring the solver to complete a grid, ensuring there are two of each item per row, column and diagonal. Big items represent four smaller cells of the same item. The MEJJI app features four game styles and four levels of difficulty to keep a solver occupied well into the future.

London, United Kingdom - MEJJI, invented by Segun O. Adu, became popular on the London tubes in 2011 and has featured in the magazine, London Puzzle Companion, distributed by the London Evening Standard (the most circulated evening paper in the UK). It is a coffee-time, as well as travel-time game to help pass the time when needed and with four different levels and game styles there is a game to fit every free-time.

MEJJI was the first logic puzzle to come in a picture frame. As with some of his art work, the inventor felt that for the puzzle to be truly ready, it needed frames around it. Aesthetics played a very important role in the creation of the puzzle, with the provision of different game styles and setups. Segun, a solution architect for Enterprise Resource Planning Systems, famously mentioned in his book, MEJJI, that - 'the process of creating the puzzle was in itself like solving a puzzle - "The puzzle of creating the puzzle".'

The typical MEJJI puzzle is an 8x8 grid. However, there are 6x6 and 10x10 grid sizes to appeal to different solvers. MEJJI was originally made available in paper format and pdf downloads were provided on the website for printing. Later, a Flash app was developed to allow users to try it online. The arrival of the iPhone version is a great moment for us at Virtuoso Works, as we finally can get the world to experience on mobile devices, what we believe is one of the most important logic puzzles of the moment.

Dr. David Levy, mathematician and Scottish International Chess Master, who has been very involved in puzzle works around the world, was one of the very first people to see the finished puzzle in 2009. He liked it and further described it as, "a very interesting new way to utilise symbols".

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 1.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MEJJI 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
