Life Inventory iPad / Greater Self-Understanding of All Aspects of Life - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer James Hollender today announces Life Inventory iPad 2.0, an update to his Lifestyle app that guides users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. While requiring a significant investment of time, the Inventory allows users to analyze their reactions to: People, Institutions and Organizations; Principles, Ideals and Beliefs; Sources of Anxiety and Excitement; Fears; and Sex Relations.

Revere, Massachusetts - Indie developer James Hollender today is pleased to announce Life Inventory iPad 2.0, an update to his Lifestyle app that guides users in creating their own Moral Inventory, which can provide greater self-understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. While requiring a significant investment of time, the Inventory allows users to analyze their reactions to: People, Institutions and Organizations; Principles, Ideals and Beliefs; Sources of Anxiety and Excitement; Fears; and Sex Relations. Originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered that a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined possible ... and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory iPad app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory iPad guides the user through six different steps, each with its own tab, for making a Life Inventory in writing: Build Lists, Causes and Effects, My Part, Fears Analysis, Fear Questions, and Sex Relations. Throughout the process, users are encouraged to write out their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves, take advantage of encouragement and support, and pray each time they sit down to write their inventory.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents: People, Institutions and Organizations; Principles, Ideals and Beliefs; and Sources of Anxiety and Excitement. Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users will outline Entities and then individual Incidents.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add: other people's opinions, not getting what I want, not having control of the situation, financial insecurity, abandonment, physical harm, failure, and success.

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:
* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:
* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory iPad app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 10.1 MB

Similar versions are also available for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Pricing and Availability:
Life Inventory iPad 2.0 is $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

Motlies Easter Island Adventure 1.0 released for iPad

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

Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:00 am (PDT)



Motlies Easter Island Adventure 1.0 released for iPad - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Swiss-based JustKidsApps announces Motlies Easter Island Adventure 1.0, a cute and colorful Motlies' story. Join the boy Albert and the hedgehog Herold on their journey to the Easter Island, where they meet Raul the rabbit. Is he the Easter Bunny? With a 28 pages story and an Extras section with little games, a quiz and information about the differences between hares and rabbits, this app will keep children busy while waiting for the Easter Bunny.

Freienbach, Switzerland - Innovative mobile e-book developer JustKidsApps is pleased to announce the release of Motlies Easter Island Adventure 1.0, it's latest digital storybook for the iPad.

Albert is a boy who has learned from a hedgehog called Herold that he can speak 'animalish' and this enables him to converse with all the world's animals. We're not sure if its his 'animalish' abilities that sometimes cause huge thought bubbles to appear when Albert speaks, but it's fun when they do! Herold has also introduced Albert to the Motley, an ordinary looking tree which is in fact the most special place on the planet. Using the tree's magical properties, Albert and Herold can wish themselves anywhere else in the world. Herold's family has been on a quest for generations to discover as much as possible about different animal species and with Albert's help Herold aims to continue this quest in order to finally solve the mystery of the Motley!

In this cute and colourful story, Albert's curiosity about the Easter Bunny leads him to discover that there is a place called Easter Island where (in the app but sadly not in real life) huge statutes can fall over, grow and even turn into rabbits! Using the Motley's magic, the boy and hedgehog travel to the South American island and meet a secret group of rabbits who create all the eggs for Easter and deliver them to the world's children. Be gentle with your device though - if you tilt your iPad too much then buckets of paint may slide and easter eggs could start rolling all over the page!

In addition to Albert and Herold's adventures on Easter Island, with narration option and lots of interactive elements and animations, the app contains two other sections:

Selecting the Info button leads you to some background information on the quirky animals that are called Motlies because at the full-moon they can all congregate at the Motley. In addition, there is a two page index which enables you to jump directly to that page in the story.

Explore the Extras section in order to learn all about the many differences between rabbits and hares as well as play games including Catch the Rabbit and Spot the Difference and take a quiz about the Motlies - if you answer all the questions correctly you will get a reward!

Story and illustrations by Dorit Erzmoneit

Features:
* Adventure story: 28 colorful pages with interactive elements, animations and sound effects
* Use the index in the info section to jump directly to that page in the story
* Learn about the differences between hares and rabbits in the extras section
* Take the quiz in the extras section and get a reward if you answer all the questions correctly!
* English and German language available
* 'Read to me' and 'Read myself' mode available

Device Requirements:
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Compatible with iPad
* 33.9 MB

Equalizer Pro 1.0 for iOS: Audiophile-Quality Equalizer, Unlimited B

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

Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:00 am (PDT)



Equalizer Pro 1.0 for iOS: Audiophile-Quality Equalizer, Unlimited Bands - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

mix1009 today introduces Equalizer Pro 1.0, their breakthrough Music app that offers unprecedented, audiophile-quality equalization with an unlimited number of bands. Featuring support for both lossy MP3 files and lossless FLAC/OGG formats, the app also includes an integrated LED-style spectrum analyzer, 32-bit floating point processing, 12 EQ presets, and the ability to create unlimited points on saveable EQ curves. The app is ideal for optimizing music playback through headphones or speakers.

Seoul, South Korea - mix1009 today is pleased to introduce Equalizer Pro 1.0, their breakthrough Music app that offers unprecedented, audiophile-quality equalization with an unlimited number of bands. Featuring support for both lossy MP3 files and lossless FLAC/OGG formats, the app also includes an integrated LED-style spectrum analyzer, 32-bit floating point processing, 12 EQ presets, automatically loaded custom presets for individual tracks, and the ability to create unlimited points on saveable EQ curves. The app is ideal for optimizing the frequency response of music playback through headphones or speakers.

High Performance Equalizer:
* Highly optimized equalizer algorithm, uses much less battery power than other EQ apps with comparable algorithm
* User-selectable EQ quality - Low, High, Extreme
* High quality equalization without distortion using 32-bit floating point processing
* Draw EQ curves without any limitation on the number of points
* Real-time spectrum output

With hundreds of millions of users relying upon iDevices as their primary or secondary source for music, Equalizer Pro now offers discriminating listeners the means to customize their listening experience without adding harsh distortion. Most users do not use their device's built-in speaker for music listening, but rather turn to ear buds, headphones, or speakers. Since every audio transducer has its own characteristic deviation from flat frequency reproduction, equalization is always valuable. Similarly, every music listener has their own characteristic hearing acuity and personal preferences, for which equalization can compensate.

EQ Presets:
* 12 built-in EQ Presets
* Unlimited user EQ Presets
* Create custom EQ presets for individual tracks - presets are automatically loaded during playback

While audiophiles have long extolled the virtues of striving toward flat frequency response during playback, especially in the bass and midrange, most iDevice owners use no frequency adjustment at all. Equalizer Pro is the ideal solution for both groups. With 32-bit floating point processing, audible distortion from rounding errors during processing is virtually eliminated. And with the ability to set an unlimited number of points on the continuous EQ curve, listeners can achieve exactly the sound they are looking for. For the majority of iDevice owners, Equalizer Pro includes 12 professional presets (Flat, Ballad, Bass Boost, Blues, Classical, Club Stage, Dance, Heavy Metal, Pop, R&B, Rap/Hip Hop, and Rock) and the ability to create custom EQ curves that are loaded during playback of individual songs.

The app includes an integrated Player that supports playback of tracks in the iPod Library without importing. Users may customize gestures to control all of the player's functions, including: play/pause, show/hide controls, seek forward (30 sec.), seek backward (30 sec.), seek forward (5 sec.), seek backward (5 sec.), previous track, next track, seek back (1 hour), previous album, next album, etc. Also supported are scrubbing, repeat, shuffle, ID3 lyrics and album art, multiple playlists, and multitasking.

Full Featured Player:
* Play directly from iPod Library without importing
* Supports FLAC and OGG lossless audio codecs
* iOS 5 lock screen album art & meta-data support
* Mulitasking
* Remote control support
* Customizable gestures
* Multiple playlists
* Scrubbing, repeat, shuffle
* Supports ID3 lyrics and album art
* Transfer songs between PC/Mac using iTunes files sharing
* iPhone4/iPad3 Retina display-ready

"There is no low-cost investment in your iDevice-based sound system that will provide as much benefit as Equalizer Pro," stated Chun-Koo Park of mix1009. "You will be amazed how much high-quality equalization can add to your listening experience."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPad2, New iPad, 4th gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app with UI optimized for iPad (supports iPad retina display)
* 15.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Equalizer Pro 1.0 is available for a limited time at the special Introductory Price of $2.99 (USD). The app is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category and is normally $4.99. Review copies are available on request.

TanksCombat 1.0.1 for iOS - Realistic Tank Combat Sim, 60 Levels of Play - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gamelarious today introduces TanksCombat 1.0.1 for iOS, their new action, tank combat sim Game, where the player controls a single tank and must destroy a total of 4 or 5 enemy tanks on each of 60 levels. Featuring responsive thumb controls, players control direction and movement on the left and the gun turret rotation and firing on the right. The AI engine controlling enemy tanks is quite challenging, and the eight different types of enemy tanks are especially adept at firing while moving.

San Diego, California - Gamelarious today is pleased to introduce TanksCombat 1.0.1 for iOS, their new action, tank combat sim Game, where the player controls a single tank and must destroy a total of four or five enemy tanks on each of 60 levels. Featuring responsive thumb controls, players control direction and movement with the left touch control and the gun turret rotation and firing on the right. The AI engine controlling enemy tanks is quite challenging, and the eight different types of enemy tanks are especially adept at firing while moving. Though point scores are higher the less time is used, ammunition use lowers scores. Players must weigh the strategic advantages of rapid-fire attacks that end quickly, versus single-shot attacks that take more time.

TanksCombat is played in landscape orientation, and the player has a detailed, 2D overhead view. Each of the six different Missions takes place on a battlefield of different terrain, including: Desert Combat, Arctic Mission, Mountains Retake, Army Camp Defense, Guarding the Village, and Enemy Training Camp. Natural obstacles and man-made structures are often destroyed by tank fire, and players must rarely face more than two enemy tanks on the battlefield at a time. The controls and movement are smooth and responsive, shells and explosions are realistic, and tank treads propel the tanks quickly across the screen.

Part of mastering the game and unlocking the higher levels is observing the behavior of enemy tanks. They are all the same size, but come in eight different colors. Each has a unique combination of maximum of speed of travel, type of shell it fires, and minimum reload time. Usually, shells that meet in mid-air destroy each other. Different types of shells achieve different velocities, but usually a single hit by any type of shell will destroy any tank. Players have only one life per level, so they must avoid being hit even once before they defeat four or five enemies to win the level.

Feature Highlights:
* Fast, fun, tank combat sim game
* 6 Missions with 10 Levels of combat each
* 8 different enemy tanks, each with unique features
* Players have only one life per level and must defeat all enemy tanks to go to next level
* High-performance touch-controls allow players to aim, fire, and move simultaneously
* Apple Game Center connectivity

"Gamelariuous is a parent/son project to create iOS games in our free time. My son is the designer, he has a lot of ideas, and I am the programmer," according to Mauricio Eastmond. "My son, Nicholas Eastmond, 12, is in 6th grade. He loves video games and iOS games. He designed TanksCombat, all the tanks, missions, tanks features, ranks, levels, etc. He put the whole game flow together and presented it to me."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 16.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:

Learning Nouns doesn't Have to Be a Drag - Just Drag and Tag

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

Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:32 am (PDT)



Learning Nouns doesn't Have to Be a Drag - Just Drag and Tag - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MyLittleUni introduces Drag & Tag (Nouns at Home) Free 1.0 for iPad. New iPad app mixes color, music, animations, lovable characters and animals to make learning nouns at home a piece of cake. It's the ultimate app for undercover learning! The concept is simple - drag each noun to its hinted location and discover its tag - both spelling and punctuation. In learning mode, the focus is on discovering tags and learning about each word.

Singapore - MyLittleUni is pleased to introduce Drag & Tag (Nouns at Home) Free 1.0 for iPad. Hand a child an iPad and they'll smile. Ask a child to learn nouns and they'll complain. However, asking a child to use an iPad to learn nouns with Drag & Tag turns a mundane task into a fun challenge.

The new educational game is the creation of Singapore's MyLittleUni team - a collection of software and educational development experts with a knack for making kids learn without them knowing it. They've already seen critical acclaim with their hugely successful App, Infant Visual Stimulation.

Their latest creation allows children to complete a series of fun games, while soaking up knowledge in the process.

Josh Lee, Creative Director, explains more: "The game includes ten different scenarios and four levels. There's a 'learning' mode with a strong educational focus and a 'play' mode for something a bit more fun" says Josh.

The concept is simple - drag each noun to its hinted location and discover its tag - both spelling and punctuation. In learning mode, the focus is on discovering tags and learning about each word. However, in play mode each child is stretched to try and beat the clock by dragging the correct icon to each location.

The app is poised as the ultimate child's paradise. It's all thanks to the same sound artist responsible for popular app Cut the Rope. The app is professionally narrated by a popular ex-news anchor, and all virtual items within the game are colourful, large and bold.

"Kids get to learn fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, by moving around virtual household items within ten different rooms. The Play Mode encourages kids to make a good fit for the shapes. A good fit will rewards the kid with three stars" adds Josh. He continues "It's great because the Play mode uses a fun way to reinforce the words that were learned in the Learn mode - and kids will be having a fun, exciting experience with no feeling of being assessed".

Device Requirements:
* iOS 5.0 or later
* Compatible with iPad
* 28.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Drag & Tag (Nouns at Home) Free 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Based in Singapore, MyLittleUni is a brand created by Think Design Studio LLP to focus on infant and preschool educational apps. We believe that children under the age of seven have the best learning abilities. Expose any toddlers to three different languages and they can speak the languages quickly. Kids love to learn! But with very short attention span, kids lose focus very easily. Apps incorporate sound, animation and interactivity that excites the children and keep them entertained while learning. And this is MyLittleUni's mission - to provide the best educational apps for babies and preschoolers by incorporating fun and keep them excited about learning! Copyright (C) 2012 MyLittleUni.

D3S DSLR 2.0 for iOS - Min-U Guide a Complete Reference to Nikon DSL

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

Mon Mar 26, 2012 4:00 am (PDT)



D3S DSLR 2.0 for iOS - Min-U Guide a Complete Reference to Nikon DSLR - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Ken Tidwell announces today D3s DSLR 2.0 for iOS, another in his series of Min-U Guides to Nikon DSLRs. The app provides quick, easy access to information by allowing the user to "drill down" through a topic, just like using the camera menus, until they find exactly what they need. A convenient alternative to carrying bulky, printed reference material, the app also includes a handy list of D3S Quick Specs, a troubleshooting checklist, error messages, and much more.

Portland, Oregon - Independent developer Ken Tidwell today is pleased to introduce D3S DSLR v2.0 for iOS, another in his series of popular Min-U Guides to Nikon DSLRs. The app provides quick, easy access to information by allowing the user to "drill down" through a topic, just like using the camera menus, until they find exactly what they need. For example, a new photographer may want to find out how to set the camera's self-timer so he can appear in a group shot.

All new under the hood. D3 DSLR is rebuilt for iOS 5.1, now with iPad SplitView providing enhanced navigation. Still a Universal app providing full support for Retina screens on both iPad and iPhone/touch. Also sports a new icon.

Product Preview updated for the latest Nikons, including D4 and D800. Note that guides for D4 & D800/800E will be released to the store soon.

Includes minor content edits and corrections and is updated with the latest addendums.

From the app's opening screen the user selects the topic Custom Setting Menu from among six other chapter headings, then they pick Timers from five other choices, and finally they choose Self-Timer from four other listings, where step-by-step instructions are found. A convenient alternative to carrying bulky, printed reference material, the app also includes a handy list of D3S Quick Specs, a troubleshooting checklist, error messages, supported standards, digital photography & DSLR lens glossaries, CF card capacity calculator and an iPad Camera Kit overview.

The opening screen of this Min-U Guide consists of seven main chapter headings, each including a replica of the icon used on the D3S for that menu. The six Menu chapters include: Playback (modify playback settings and manage photos an movies), Shooting (configure D3S shooting options), Custom Settings (fine-tune camera settings to your liking), Setup (basic camera configuration), Retouch (create trimmed or retouched copies of existing images), and My Menu (your custom menu and options). The seventh chapter, [More], contains miscellaneous info (D3S specs and glossaries, error messages, etc.) Touching any chapter activates a push transition, where the next page enters right to left, pushing off the current page. Similarly, touching any topic on the second screen activates another transition. This smooth, visually appealing iOS based navigation system makes moving up and down the hierarchically arranged menus and sub-menus quick, intuitive and enjoyable.

D3S DSLR v2.0 achieves an ideal balance between comprehensiveness and clarity. Instructions contain no unnecessary verbiage, and no unnecessary steps. The goal of the adage "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler," has been achieved here with excellent results. Even when dealing with concepts prone to obfuscation (480p vs. 576p vs. 720p vs. 1080i), the Guide is always factual, straightforward, and easily understood. The app is a universal binary, and displays in the highest, native resolution on every iOS device. In addition to Playback, Shooting, Custom Settings, Setup, Retouch and My Menu, this 'D3s' guide features a 'MORE' menu that includes:

* Troubleshooting
* Error Messages
* Quick Specs and Supported Standards
* Glossaries
* Lens Information
* Nikon Product Preview
* IPad Camera Kit Overview

D3S DSLR also offers useful DSLR Calculators. Know exactly how many images based on either FX or DX format (with image file type), will fit on CF memory cards from 4GB to 128GB in size. Also provided are: 'Depth of Field', 'Dimensional Field of View by Focal Length' and 'Angular Field of View' calculators.

Independent developer Ken Tidwell, creator of the Min-U Guides series, commented, "Now you can spend your time shooting more amazing digital photos instead of carrying and digging through lengthy reference materials. D3S DSLR v2.0 is organized in the same manner as the D3S camera control menus, meaning that while you use it you also learn more about using your D3S."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 4.3 or later (iOS 5.1 tested)
* Universal Application
* 17.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
D3S DSLR v2.0 is $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. D3S DSLR v2.0 is current with Nikon D3S v1.01 firmware. Review copies are available upon request.

FatBits iPhone App - Draw and Share Pixel-Art Icons in Real-Time - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent software developer, Erik Wrenholt today introduces FatBits 1.3, his new pixel-art drawing app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. FatBits is a pixel-art drawing app with a twist: you can see three other people drawing icons at the same time. FatBits is like a chatroom where you can communicate by pixels alone. FatBits gives you a 169 pixel canvas to share your art with the world. Draw icons, or guess what others are drawing. Just think of it as "icon micro-blogging".

Lincoln, Nebraska - Announcing FatBits! Have fun designing and sharing tiny icons. FatBits is a pixel-art drawing app with a twist: you can see three other people drawing icons at the same time! FatBits is like a chatroom where you can communicate by pixels alone.

Fun things you can do with FatBits:
Draw icons, or guess what others are drawing. Feeling competitive? Try to draw a better icon! Say "Hi", or complement other's icons. Tap on a series of saved icons in succession to make animations. Repost your favorite icons to share them with a new audience. You can even play Tic-Tac-Toe!

FatBits gives you a 169 pixel canvas to share your art with the world. Creating icons with only 169 pixels may at first seem like a challenge, however scrolling through thousands of saved icons reveals a wealth of creativity and variation.

ScottiStudios releases Save the Monster Free for iPhone

ScottiStudios releases Save the Monster Free for iPhone - Published on 03/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based ScottiStudios today introduces Save the Monster 1.0.2, a free version of their new five star gaming title for iOS devices. Run the gauntlet and survive in a world ruled by evil robots. In this fun action puzzler, the player controls a monster that is being chased by "Evil Robot Guards". Dodging the guards is challenging enough, but not the only feature in the game. You must also collect the stars to complete each level, with extra gems to collect within an allotted amount of time.

Blackburn, United Kingdom - ScottiStudios today is pleased to announce that they have released a free version of their new five star game, Save the Monster. The App Store description sums the game up well: "Run the gauntlet and survive in a world ruled by evil robots, spanning numerous toe-curlingly challenging levels, bringing more enemies and difficulties with each level. Run, Sneak, Dodge, Time to perfection, and survive."

The game is an Action Puzzler, with the player needing to control a monster that is being chased by "Evil Robot Guards". Dodging the guards is challenging enough, but not the only feature in the game. You must also collect the stars (placed in hard to reach areas, of course) to complete each level, with extra gems to collect within an allotted amount of time.

"We have been wanting to release a free version of the game right from when the full game went live on the AppStore. We have had so many people wanting to play Save the Monster, we thought it would be great if people could play it for free." Says developer, Scott. "This game was developed over nearly a year by just myself, and I would love for more people to be able to play the game."

Save the Monster HD, the full game, is set over two locations, or stages, The Beach and The Tundra, with a 3rd stage The Sahara being added shortly. Each stage presents the user with its own unique challenges, with different types of robots and added objects and puzzles for each.

Scott is confident that anyone downloading the game will be addicted to the gameplay. "I've had such a great response about the game from gamers and reviewers that I know the free version will be well received! There has been mainly 5* reviews so far, which is great."

The graphics for this free puzzle game are in gorgeous HD for the Retina display, but simple and colorful. The backgrounds really add to the enjoyment of the game. Its not too fussy, and shows off the simplicity but refined edge of the game well.

The game play starts off quite easy, easy enough to get you hooked, and drawn into the game, as it subtly teaches you the game and how to play, while still challenging you. After the first few levels, Save the Monster really shines, bringing an interesting mix of arcade style action, puzzle and humour while some levels are quite hard, they add to the brilliance of this game. In conclusion, Save the Monster - both the free version and the full version - are well worth downloading.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 8.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Save the Monster 1.0.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
