Children And Adults Are Laughing With The Animated Ten Giggly Gorillas - Published on 03/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Featuring illustrated animation from award-winning artist Kim Neale, Ten Giggly Gorillas is a loveable interactive book that will enchant readers of all ages alike. Transporting readers to a fun and laughter filled world this innovative interactive book for iPad combines charming storytelling and animated characters with user interactions and corresponding decision making. Optional voice-over narration allows the story to be read aloud in a soothing and distinctive style and more.

Cupertino, California - High-up in the virtual jungle ten giggly gorillas are swinging in the trees, putting on a show for the cheeky chimpanzees in Wasabi Productions' latest release, Ten Giggle Gorillas. Transporting readers to a fun and laughter filled world this innovative interactive book for iPad combines charming storytelling and animated characters with user interactions and corresponding decision making.

As the story unfolds readers must use the iPad touch screen to tickle the appropriate swinging gorilla based on clues contained within the accompanying text. Each tickle results in one of over 100 unique interactions and animations that not only indicate if the correct gorilla was chosen, but also reveal the distinct and quirky personalities of each of the tree-top characters. Tickle the correct gorilla and they will jump and dive from the trees, laughing as they go and a quick swipe to the next page will offer a new clue as to whom to tickle next - with a final twist awaiting a successful tickle of the tenth gorilla.

Optional voice-over narration allows the story to be read aloud in a soothing and distinctive style, offering additional entertainment as well as assisting the improvement of reading skills for younger gorilla ticklers. Movie-style animations and cheeky touch-activated dialogue ensure the story can be repeated time-and- time again, whilst a monkey memory game offers an additional challenge within the same jungle inspired world.

AstroPlasm Transports Gamers To An Alternate Dimension - Published on 03/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Featuring multiple game modes, competitive multiplayer and upgradable equipment, AstroPlasm 1.0 provides gamers with an addictive air hockey style challenge set in a convincing and intriguing alternate dimension. Taking to the table from a 3D first person perspective, gamers must use the iPad touch screen to hold their virtual paddle and serve, hit and defend the puck across the table. A variety of in-game opponents offer a variety of artificial intelligence, playing styles and personalities.

Cupertino, California - In a neon lit cafe far, far, away virtual competitors from around the galaxy are watching the tension build as they compete on the air puck tables - air hockey in an alternate dimension - to determine the ultimate player. Gamers can roam the cafe and challenge individual inhabitants or match-up with a friend in multiplayer mode in this fast paced game of co-ordination and skill.

Taking to the table from a 3D first person perspective, gamers must use the iPad touch screen to hold their virtual paddle and serve, hit and defend the puck across the table. Points are scored whenever a player succeeds in getting the puck past their opponents paddle, the aim of the game being to score the most points to win the match. In-game opponents offer a variety of artificial intelligence, playing styles and personalities, often interacting with outrageous verbal comments during a match.

To become the AstroPlasm champion players must beat all of these characters in one of four different game modes; regular, twin-puck, magnetron and survivor - featuring exploding pucks, magnetized laser barriers and ever-increasing puck speeds respectively. Upgrades can be obtained from the in-game bar, providing users with faster pucks and alternative paddles offering greater curve, shot angle and precision, while match statistics are recorded to give users a perspective on the strength and weaknesses of their challenges so far.

Rated 12 AstroPlasm offers an addictive, fast paced and tension filled challenge for all iPad gamers. An intuitive tutorial ensures a pick-up-and-play experience while the wealth of game modes, multiplayer and charmingly quirky - yet highly polished - game environment ensure a long lasting challenge.

"AstroPlasm is the ultimate air hockey style game for the iPad that literally transports users to another dimension." commented Paul Wilkinson of Subspark Entertainment. "Our aim was to create an in-game environment and opponents with real personality, and when engaged in a match you really want to beat these guys."

Children's iPad Apps Become Popular Teaching Aids

Children's iPad Apps Become Popular Teaching Aids - Published on 03/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Elka Palka Production, LLC today introduces Elfishki and The Unwelcome Guest 1.0, its brand new interactive fairy tale series for the iPad. This digital storybook offers a new type of teaching aid that is beautiful as classical cartoons, as engaging as beloved fairy tales, as fun as videogames, and as useful as a textbook. Elfishki and The Unwelcome Guest features stunning interactive illustrations, original music, and professional voiceovers in both English and Russian.

Los Angeles, California - After a myriad of positive reviews in the blogosphere for the educational iPad app Elfishki and the Giant Cake, its creators, Elka Palka Production, LLC, launched a new interactive fairy tale story, Elfishki and the Unwelcome Guest. Elfishki are little fairy tale creatures who live on the beautiful Rainbow Island in the middle of the Sparkling Sea. They can fly like butterflies or swim like mermaids.

Inspired by the idea to use the full potential of Apple's iPad to educate and, above all, to cultivate the love of reading in elementary school children, a group of enthusiasts from all over the world decided to contribute their efforts and create a new type of teaching aid which would be as beautiful as classical cartoons, as engaging as beloved fairy tales, as fun as videogames, and as useful as textbooks. That is how the Elfishki series was born.

The Unwelcome Guest application, the second book in the Elfishki series, features stunning interactive illustrations, original music, and professional voiceovers in both English and Russian. There is also a bonus game at the end of the book designed to develop attention to detail and visual acuity in young children.

All Elfishki books have a special feature - there are no bad characters in the stories. Children learn to appreciate the differences in the points of view of the characters and figure out ways to come up with win-win solutions. In The Unwelcome Guest, an ice-cream seller named Vince and his friend, a dragon named Brungildo, have to deal with a tiny blue person who chooses to live in their garage padlock and is not about to leave or let them into the garage. Is he a bad guy or does he have a reason for his actions? And what would Vince and Brungildo have to do about this situation?

On every page of the book, little readers can find comprehension questions, which help them develop their conscious reading skills - according to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

"Once I saw all the comprehension questions and what a wide range of questions are asked, I was hooked. This is a great way for students to practice 'Listen to Reading' during my Daily 5 literacy block." Nicole Heinlein, a 3rd grade teacher said about the first Elfishki book in the series.

All Elfishki books are published in English and Russian (Spanish is currently in development).

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 224 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Elfishki and The Unwelcome Guest 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.
