The hero of Brandnew Boy is known only to the player as "Rookie." Gamers will find action heavy levels punctuated with cut scenes which further the narrative, built around solving the mystery of Rookie's identity and his purpose in the strange and hostile environment he's found himself in. Even Rookie doesn't know who he is or where he comes from - but his robotic sidekick, OnaOna, seems to know more than it lets on.

* Defeating the game's haunting, devastating bosses allows Rookie to summon these demon-like fighters on his own behalf as a special attack

* A full arsenal of skills (which the player can level), attire, and special items add another layer of sophistication

Applaud Releases Sleep Wave

Applaud Releases Sleep Wave - Published on 04/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Applaud has released Sleep Wave - a simple yet effective iOS app that aids sleep gently and naturally using proven blue light therapy. Blue light therapy has been shown to be effective in helping to reset the body's Circadian rhythm, our built-in biological clock that gets entrained or adjusted by external factors, such as the amount of natural daylight and artificial light we get. Sleep Wave can help the user drop off in a tap. By simply selecting either 7 minutes or 25 minutes.

Surrey, United Kingdom - Applaud has announced their health and fitness app Sleep Wave is now available for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Sleep Wave can help the user gently and naturally fall asleep.

Blue light therapy has been shown to be effective in helping to reset the body's Circadian rhythm, our built-in biological clock that gets entrained or adjusted by external factors, such as the amount of natural daylight and artificial light we get.

Sleep Wave can help the user drop off in a tap! By simply selecting either 7 minutes (this is all most people need) or 25 minutes.

The user then places their iPhone or iPad on their bedside table or on the floor by their bed, and switches off the bedroom lights. A gentle blue light that swells and subsides is projected onto the ceiling.

The user then should relax and with their eyes open let the blue light guide their breathing: breathing in as the light swells and breathing out as the light subsides. If breathing gets out of sync, they should just find the rhythm again. If their eyelids feel heavy and want to close them, they can do so - they're falling asleep!

Sleep Wave will not disrupt a partner in the way some audio sleep aids do. The iPhone/iPad will dim and shut down after the selected time.

Sleep Wave features:
* Proven science behind blue light therapy
* Guided deep and relaxing breathing technique
* Simple interface - one tap to select the duration
* Phone sleeps after use to preserve battery life during the night

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

Pricing and Availability:
Sleep Wave 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category. Please visit Applaud online for more information and press kit details.

Barnyard Bluegrass Named Best Kids' App Pick by Parenting Magazine

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

Barnyard Bluegrass Named Best Kids' App Pick by Parenting Magazine - Published on 04/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

With hundreds of new kids' apps appearing on the App Store each day, finding the next great one can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Then again, if you're lucky, you may just hear it singing a familiar tune. Today, Barnyard Bluegrass, already the recipient of many glowing reviews from education and parenting blogs, received some resounding applause when named a "Best Kids' App Pick" by Parenting's Technology Staff. Barnyard Bluegrass is indeed like nothing else on the App Store.

Portland, Oregon - With hundreds of new kids' apps appearing on the App Store each day, finding the next great one can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Then again, if you're lucky, you may just hear it singing a familiar tune. Today, Barnyard Bluegrass, already the recipient of many glowing reviews from education and parenting blogs, received some resounding applause when named a "Best Kids' App Pick" by Parenting's Technology Staff. Barnyard Bluegrass is indeed like nothing else on the App Store, delivering loads of authentic bluegrass music and learning in a variety of engaging ways.

Full App Description:

Are you tired of hearing the same torturous music from your child's favorite app? Barnyard Bluegrass is here to help! This lovable band of animated farm animals comes equipped with banjos, fiddles, basses, mandolins and guitars and they aren't afraid to use them. Offering seven complete songs - with accompanying read along lyrics - children can enjoy fantastic on-demand music using an interface simple enough for a toddler. Perhaps more importantly, parents may find themselves asking to turn the volume up, rather than down.
As if that wasn't enough, there are three other areas of the app where visitors can delve deeper into the genre and make music of their own. Users can select an instrument and play it using a simple one-finger controller, read about the instruments and hear samples, or head to the farmer's porch and jam with the entire band. Each area offers a different perspective on the music and gives young learners plenty of room to explore and create.

Tapping into children's existing love of song, Barnyard Bluegrass offers "yee-haw worthy" renditions of classics like Old MacDonald, Turkey in the Straw, and Hole in the Bucket. For a more traditional taste of the style, there are several ageless bluegrass standards, namely: Pig in a Pen, Blue Railroad Train, Cluck Old Hen, and Nine Pound Hammer.

To bring this much loved genre to life, we called upon Astrograss, a fixture in both the New York City Bluegrass and Kids Music Scene, to perform and record just those tunes that would best connect to young users. All music was recorded and mixed at Inner Harbor Studios, NYC and was mastered specifically for Apple devices.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Barnyard Bluegrass is available in both LITE(free) and FULL ($1.99) versions and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Synaptic Wave and Cult of Mac make Tesla Wars free for a limited tim

Synaptic Wave and Cult of Mac make Tesla Wars free for a limited time - Published on 04/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tesla Wars for iPhone and iPad is one of the most popular tower defense games with over 2.5 million downloads. The unique gameplay combines tower defense and arcade genres into an action-packed addicting mix. Tesla Wars originality and explosive fun have ensured uncountable positive reviews of competent critics. In collaboration with Cult of Mac the game will be free for a week from April 20. There are 15 types of enemies in the Tesla Wars.

Odessa, Ukraine - Tesla Wars mixes tower defense and arcade genres to create an absolutely new experience both for tower defense fans and arcade addicts.

Gameplay Overview:
Synaptic Wave has found a way to fight the monotony of ordinary specimen of the genre. Before the battle you'll plan your strategy for the next round. But as you start it you'll turn from the Testa coil commander to its sole soldier to fry up enemies with electrical charges. The fast-paced rounds have nothing in common with the ordinary tower defense sameness. At the same time, elements of strategic planning diversify the action and assure a great replayability.

Unexpected Enemies:
There are 15 types of enemies in the Tesla Wars. Each one has its own tactics, strengths and weaknesses. The early ones are very easy to defeat. The later ones require specific strategies. Some of the most interesting enemy types include Bombardier flying a glider, kamikaze Rider and Mad Mantis handling two submachine guns.

Special Weapons:
While the player starts the game with the electrical charges only, the rewards can be spent to obtain the Special weapons. The 13 Specials include Mines, Air Strike, Freeze, Toxic Bombs, Death Ray and others. Each Special is unique, e.g. the Earthquake is effective against surface troops but it doesn't affect flying enemies. Numerous Specials provide vast possibilities to vary the game tactics. Individualized special effects of each weapon improve the playing experience, excite and electrify you. Besides, using the Special weapons facilitates completing the later levels, when zapping is not enough.

Tesla Wars will be free to download during a very limited time promotion from April 20.

Further information and promocodes after the end of the promotion period are available on request.

What is bigger than Uranus? Astronomica! - Published on 04/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

British indie developer Myrix Studios today introduces Astronomica! 1.0, its brand new side-scrolling, infinite obstacle dodging game for iOS devices. Captain Turner and her brave crew have embarked on a mission to the Astronomica system to harvest as much Myron as they can. Explore three beautiful environments within the Astronomica system. Astronomica! is a vibrant looking game with a great soundtrack and fast paced, exciting gameplay with missions, mini-games and extras to unlock and admire.

Eastbourne, United Kingdom - Myrix Studios has released their brand new game, Astronomica! on the iPad and iPhone app stores. This fun little 2D obstacle dodging game brings the player more than the ordinary experience in this genre, introducing a mission structure, unlockable extra content and Game Center achievements for gamers to strive for.

The story of Astronomica! takes place is in the distant future, a time where mankind has become dependent on a rare gas called Myron, a resource which is practically depleted in the immediate area around Earth. Captain Turner and her brave crew have embarked on a mission to the Astronomica system to harvest as much Myron as they can. However, alien forces have set up a number of traps and hazards in an attempt to halt the great captain in her tracks. The player must dodge these alien traps in a number of different scenarios whilst trying to harvest as much Myron as possible.

Players can explore three beautiful environments within the Astronomica system; the frozen asteroids of Isa, the lush forest planet of Primus and the intrepid fire moon Infernis. Each zone is navigated using a unique ship, each with its own physical traits, playing style and music.

Each of the three zones consists of 10 missions to complete as well as a freeplay mode where highscores can be posted to GameCenter. The zones have a clear level of progression and difficulty curve, with Isa being the easiest of the three areas and Infernis being the hardest. Despite this, the player can choose to complete the campaign on either of these three planets in any particular order and the freeplay mode for these planets will be unlocked from the start.

The gameplay itself is relatively simple. The player must tap and hold their finger on the screen of their device to move their ship up and down. There are four power ups to collect, each giving an extra life via a shield and other powers waiting to be discovered.

Using this simple control method, the objective of the game is to either gather as much Myron as possible or go on as far as you can, dependant on the particular scenario you are playing. Along the way, the player will face a barrage of traps including zappers and missiles.

The game includes a shop where collected Myron can be traded for upgrades and continues, giving the player a greater chance to continue their adventure.

Astronomica! will also include three unlockable mini-games as well as a concept art gallery and music player, all of which are included in the game itself. The three mini-games included are the Astronomica! Track Builder, Memory Match and Space Porter.

The Astronomica! Track Builder allows the player to make small, 30 second music loops using 6 different instrument sections (accompaniment, percussion, synth, melody, ambience and bass) over 6 different musical themes inspired by the music and imagery of the game. Due to the melody at its core being the same for each theme, players can mix and match different instruments over different themes.

Memory Match puts the player's memory to the test challenging them to match up card pairs over three different difficulties.

Space Porter is a small race against the clock where the player must tap their screen repeatedly to get the UMC worker to pull the lever and extract the Myron Gas from the large canister beside him.

Pricing and Availability:
Astronomica! 1.0 is priced at a special Launch Price of $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Astronomica! for iPad is also available. For more information and cool content including music tracks and lots more stuff please visit their website.

Shared Paper Lite: Try Digital Paper, Collaborate Between iPads for Free - Published on 04/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Nebulus Design today introduces Shared Paper Lite 1.0, a free trial version of its popular digital paper app for iPad devices. Shared Paper Lite provides a seemingly unlimited canvas on which ideas, sketches, designs and presentations can be quickly created with ease and shared interactively between iPads. In addition the lite version enables anyone to join a shared whiteboard session, between iPads hosted by a full version of Shared Paper, free of charge.

London, United Kingdom - Announcing the release of Shared Paper Lite - try out the collaborative digital sketching and drawing app for iPad, Shared Paper, as well as join a shared workspace session hosted by a full version of Shared Paper, at zero cost. Up to 15 iPads running Shared Paper Lite can connect wirelessly to an iPad running the full version of Shared Paper to draw, sketch and design on a seemingly endless shared whiteboard. This now enables a collaborative workspace of up to 16 iPads to be created for the cost of a single Shared Paper licence.

The lite version of Shared Paper is free, but still packs a punch and includes all the key functions of the full version, Shared Paper, and is only limited in the number of objects and papers that can be created when used in standalone mode. (In collaboration mode, object limits are removed). It's a great way to test out Shared Paper's ease of use and powerful productivity for quick sketching and accurate drawing on a digital canvas which can be scrolled and zoomed freely seemingly forever in all directions, giving amazing freedom for creativity. The presentation editor is also included in the lite version, so drawings, sketches, images and text spread out over the digital whiteboard can be summarised and presented as an interactive slideshow on the iPad or to an external display via cable or Airplay.

In addition Shared Paper Lite can be used to join a shared whiteboard between iPads at no additional cost and minimum of hassle. This is ideal for brainstorming and teamwork with friends, colleagues or fellow students. Any iPad user running the full version of Shared Paper can invite up to 15 additional iPads to join a session wirelessly. They just need to download the free lite version and connect and join the project. When connected, any object count limits on lite versions are lifted, so any size of project can be shared.

"Everyone should try Shared Paper Lite, " says Nigel Jenkins of developer Nebulus Design. "It's a great way to take what's on your mind and put it down on digital paper and share it with others. It's also really quick and easy to pick up and of course free, but what people also find is that it is also great fun and actually very powerful, so if you want to do something more detailed or sophisticated, those capabilities are there too."

David Hughes, co-developer also comments, "Being able to use a group of iPads to create impromptu shared workspaces is now so easy and cost effective. With both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity this also means you can connect to other iPads just about anywhere, in a lobby, lecture theatre, meeting room or even in the park. It's like having a conference room in your iPad!"

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

Pricing and Availability:
Shared Paper Lite 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
