IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Imagine yourself as a child appearing in one of your favorite books for the whole world to see. Treasure Bound Books announced the winners of their "Be an App Star" contest. In the flexible world of book apps, it's possible for today's children and that dream has come true for four fans of the acclaimed children's book app, "Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island." Award-winning illustrator of Treasure Kai, Victor Guiza, designed cartoons in the images of the winners.
Sydney, Australia - Treasure Bound Books features four children as cartoons in the Treasure Kai book app, makes history. Imagine yourself as a child appearing in one of your favorite books for the whole world to see. In the flexible world of book apps, it's possible for today's children and that dream has come true for four fans of the acclaimed children's book app, "Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island."
Karen Robertson, author of "Treasure Kai," held a contest - "Be an App Star" - to find fans to feature in the app. To land the cameo roles, the children drew treasure maps and included the hero, Treasure Kai, somewhere on their maps. Award-winning illustrator of Treasure Kai, Victor Guiza, designed cartoons in the images of the winners. The new version of the app that features the fans can be downloaded via the Apple store.
"With book apps, authors have a whole new way to involve fans with our stories because we can easily change content and update our apps," said Robertson. "The 'App Star' contest has been a terrific way to build excitement among our readers and buzz about our app. Children and parents from around the world participated, something that would have been hard to do with our printed book."
A public online vote determined the 15 semi-finalists who advanced to a panel of guest judges that selected one winner from each age group. The winner are Riley Darlison 6, Hunter Brossman 7, and Walid Sibai 11. Angela Walsh, an 11 year-old with Down syndrome, won the "Creator's Choice" award from the author and illustrator for her enchanting abstract map.
If children's wishes for presents came true last Christmas, they will get to meet the new app stars. Almost half of children ages 6-12 - 44% - wanted an iPad for Christmas, according to a Nielsen survey. The next most requested gifts were iPod touches (30%) and iPhones (27%), all of which run the Treasure Kai app.
Book app, "Treasure Kai and the Lost Gold of Shark Island" is a Digital Storytime Top 25 Most Essential Children's Book App, Top 10 Most Original, and won "Best in Category" for apps at the New Media Film Festival in San Francisco.

Beautiful HD Graphics Steal Spotlight in Elf Defense Launch - Published on 02/01/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JellyOasis today introduces Elf Defense 1.0.1, their brand new tower defense game title for iOS. The elf nation has been generous with their human neighbors, extending their magical skills and resources. But their generosity has only incited greed in their former allies. Now, the human army is committing an unforgivable intrusion - attacking the elves in their own settlements. The vibrant palette of colors, and charming, detailed animation, the game play itself is sure to build a loyal fan base.
Seoul, Korea - Elf Defense 1.0.1, a stunningly executed, brand new tower defense game from veteran developer JellyOasis, sets a new standard with exceptional graphics and game design. The premise of the game, well-communicated in both the game's narrative cut scenes and within the gameplay itself, is simple. The elf nation has been generous with their human neighbors, extending their magical skills and resources. But their generosity has only incited greed in their former allies. Now, the human army is committing an unforgivable intrusion - attacking the elves in their own settlements.
Players strategically position elven and mercenary forces along the path of assault in order to protect the elven castle. Each stage requires defeating a predetermined number of enemy waves, without allowing the fortress to be overcome. As the game progresses, greater complexity is introduced as players gain access to more combat unit types, special soldiers for higher, and items. The human forces and their allies grow more sophisticated in their attacks as well, creating balanced, satisfying pacing throughout the game.
Elf Defense faces stiff competition in the thriving tower defense genre, but JellyOasis has little to worry about. The unique character design and superb HD graphics set the game apart, and Elf Defense boasts charm that is not just skin deep. In addition to the unique block-like character design, the vibrant palette of colors, and charming, detailed animation, the game play itself is sure to build a loyal fan base.
Elf Defense is available now in the iTunes App Store, for $2.99. The game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (and the iPad does the graphics the greatest justice).
Features:
* Deploy a wide variety of units, each with their own special combat skills, to take down the enemy before they breach your walls
* Over 100 enemy types make strategy a dynamic, evolving challenge
* Breathtakingly crisp graphics are put to good use with a gorgeous color palette and exceptional, unique character design
* Special items enhance tactics and provide players with the ability to tailor their strategy to suit their own playing style
* Adjustable difficulty makes Elf Defense fun for tower defense newbies and veterans alike
* Shop is packed with upgrades and items; players can purchase with in-game currency or buy additional currency
* Game Center integration
* Gorgeous environments - Fairy Forest, Desolate Desert, Frozen Artic
* Collect formidable mercenary warriors to enhance your forces
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.1 or later
* 48.9 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Elf Defense 1.0.1 is now $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Last Target for iPhone and iPad: 16-Year-Old Published New Tilting Game - Published on 02/01/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
16-year-old developer, Jan-Niklas Freundt today introduces Last Target 1.0 for iOS, his new highly addicting gaming title. Players need to navigate a pellet through a course consisting out of countless platforms and bricks headed into deep space - just by tilting the iPhone or the iPad. The uniqueness of the new game of skill: There is no end as the world rises up infinite to the space. Last Target supports the Game Center with global leader-boards where players can compare their skills.
Bochum, Germany - Last Target is now available exclusively for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Last Target is a highly addicting game where players need to navigate a pellet through a course consisting out of countless platforms and bricks headed into deep space - just by tilting the iPhone or the iPad. The uniqueness of the new game of skill: There is no end as the world rises up infinite to the space.
In Last Target the player controls a ball, rolling over platforms floating around in the space. Countless junctions and bricks are connected with each other - to a construct full of deadly deep hollows, stretching in every direction. On the way not only the omnipresent chasms are a big problem. There are also lots of sabers swinging in deadly circles, moving opponents, cannons and other types of enemies, just making the life difficult.
Jan-Niklas Freundt, with the age of 16 one of the youngest app developers around the world, worked 8 months on Last Target: "The biggest challenge is to stay alive as long as possible while avoiding all the obstacles. There are no levels, the journey is infinite and different every time you play."
Everywhere on the platforms the player can collect so called "Uranium". With sufficient "Uranium" it is possible to upgrade abilities, buy power-ups and even new pellets. This will allow the player to add a bright shining shield to his pellet, get higher scores in less time and make it even possible to resurrect after death.
Freundt: "Many games are loosing attractiveness as soon as all levels are mastered: Nobody wants to start again. Last Target does not repeat itself. Every game is different. Depending on the players' skills the game is over after a few seconds or a few hours."
The efforts are worth it. Last Target supports the Game Center with global leader-boards where players can compare their skills. Additionally it is possible to unlock 15 achievements. Last Target, for iPhone and iPod touch, and Last Target HD, for the iPad, are now available for 0,99$ in the U.S. and are priced accordingly in other regions. Both versions are available world-wide from Apple's App Store. The app was featured by the major review site AppVader before its official release.

One year ago he published his first app, i.Event, and continued distributing i.Protect - The Security Bag, i.Note, Alarm Clock Ultimate HD and Doodle Downwards. Last Target is his sixth app for Apple's mobile operating system. With Beatmaster and Downloaded! he developed his first apps for the Macintosh. Copyright (C) 2012 Jan-Niklas Freundt.

Steak Baby Brings Hong Kong Insitution to iPad

Steak Baby Brings Hong Kong Insitution to iPad - Published on 02/01/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Indie Games Publisher Steak Baby launches new Big2 app to iTunes. The company claims to have created a more sophisticated AI for Big2 with virtual opponents who will challenge even seasoned players and a tutorial for those who have never played before. Big2 a.k.a Chinese Poker is a Hong Kong institution when it comes to backstreet card games and has a cult following around the world. Big Dai Di is a premium version of Big2 and is available now on iTunes.
Hong Kong - Newly formed Indie games publisher Steak Baby, today announces the launch of their first card game for iPad on iTunes. Big Dai Di is a premium version of the popular Asian card game Big 2 a.k.a Choh Dai Di.
Commonly referred to as Chinese Poker, Big 2 is hugely popular in Greater China and South East Asia but relatively unknown in other parts of the world. By bringing the game to iPad and including a mini tutorial and high quality user experience, the folks behind Steak Baby (who are addicted fans of the game) hope that Big Dai Di will convert even more enthusiasts and give old fans a brand new challenge - its rumoured that it might even improve their game!
While not the first version of Big 2 available on iTunes, Big Dai Di is (surprisingly) the first of its kind to make the user experience a priority. It is the only iPad version on iTunes with an in-game tutorial for first time users and features realistically demanding AI opponents that even seasoned players will find challenging. Additional features of Big Dai Di include:
* Play in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese
* 3 different scoring methods - Hands, Points or Gold
* Slick User Interface
* Intuitive motion controls
* 8 Original AI opponents with varying skill levels
* Connect to Game Centre to save scores and achievements
* Share functions let you boast your achievements to friends on social media including Twitter, Facebook, Renren and Weibo
Steak Baby director Idah Turner says of the game "Maybe I'm laying it on a bit thick, but I really think Big 2 is one of the best card games ever invented! Unfortunately, most electronic Choh Dai Di games just aren't that challenging. I started this project so that I would have something to play on the bus to work and we've ended up creating one of the most realistic AIs available - the other opponents play like real people, no one can beat them every time!" She adds "Big Dai Di is the perfect casual game and I can't wait to hear people expressing their frustrations at getting beat by our virtual players on trains and buses everywhere."
Big Dai Di is collaboration between Steak Baby and app developer, Senja Solutions. Currently available as a single player vs. AI game, the team plans to launch a multiplayer version later this year.
About the Developer:
Senja Solutions is a crack team of web-developers, app-makers and IT experts who stop at nothing to turn every project into a beautifully functioning on- and offline experience.

San Francisco, California - There's plenty to celebrate in the dangerous universe that is Pocket God and now there's even more.

TimeTag for iOS Updated with New Design and Features
Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com
Wed Feb 1, 2012 6:01 am (PST)
TimeTag for iOS Updated with New Design and Features - Published on 02/01/12
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dallas based Capparsa LLC today announces TimeTag 1.951, an important update to their personal time sheet application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Designed to look great and be fast and simple to use, TimeTag is centered around the use of tags to record and track time spent on activities and projects. Its new look helps users be more productive in tracking their time, and new features like an improved export help with using it in a business environment.
Dallas, Texas - Capparsa today is pleased to announce the release of the latest update for TimeTag-the time sheet app re-imagined. TimeTag, which has been previously featured among Apple's productivity apps, continues to help people and leading organizations to be more productive and organized.
TimeTag stands out from the competition in that ease of use was a primary design objective. Instead of convoluted start & stop buttons, which can be confusing, the app features a giant button that's easy to tap. Activities are organized by tags which can further be organized into categories. At the end of each day, the user can quickly glance at the records to see where time was spent, without manual addition of time spent per activity.
The export gives the user a clean, simple list of their records which can be exported as a webpage, or as a CSV file to use in any spreadsheet application. As most people have their preferred invoicing templates, the export is devoid of unnecessary markings and theming. The latest update improves upon many of these features (and more), including:
Updated Look & Feel:
The entire app has received a face lift, giving it a cleaner and more modern look. Subtle gradients, dark and light grays, and a coherent design make the experience of timing activities even better.
New Theme Option:
The app now features a white theme, replacing the dark grays in the default version. This is great for owners of white iOS devices, like the white iPad.
Improved Export:
The export has been tweaked to make it even easier to read time records. Records are organized by time, tags and categories, and now include a new column describing the exact amount of time logged.
Multiple Timer Support
-There's a new control panel view for multiple timers, making it even faster to time multiple tasks at once. Simply tap on the number to the left of the start/stop button, and a new view will slide up.
There's always more on the horizon. The next major update, which is coming soon, will feature iCloud syncing and even more improvements to the export function. Thanks to TimeTag, time sheet apps don't have to be boring lists of records anymore!
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 2.5 MB
Pricing and Availability:
TimeTag 1.951 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
