IMMEDIATE RELEASE

South Korean based CJ Educations today announces the release of Broadway Barks for the iPad. A unique new children's interactive e-book from Bernadette Peters, this educational yet highly entertaining storybook follows the adventures of a lost puppy named Douglas as he searches for his home and discovers his true talent and love for singing. The app includes colorful original artwork on every page, beautiful music, interactive music creation features, as well as optional audio narration.

Seoul, South Korea - CJ Educations, an innovative digital education app developer, is excited today to announce the launch of Broadway Barks onto the App Store.

Broadway Barks is currently available for download on the App Store for $2.99 in the Books category.

Educational as well as entertaining, the story for Broadway Barks goes a little something like this: In a park lives an orphaned little dog named Douglas. Befriended by a pretty red-haired stranger (played by Peters), the two go onto a Broadway stage so that Douglas has a chance at being adopted and finding a real home again. WillDouglas be able to find the singing star inside him and find a new home? That's something only the reader will discover - and maybe even help decide!

Broadway Barks originally came into being as an animal charity event founded by Bernadette Peters in 1999 to promote the adoption of animals living in shelters. The Broadway Barks storybook debuted on the New York Times Bestseller list to unanimous praise and enthusiasm from young readers and holds a perfect 5 star rating on Amazon.com.

"Broadway Barks" is a story about a dog who finds a new family after being adopted. I hope this story will help you understand how important it is to take care of animals." - Bernadette Peters

As an educational storybook Broadway Barks enables kids between the ages 2 and 8 to expand their vocabulary at a tremendous speed. It will also help them develop a strong affinity towards animals and companions in general. Reading stories based on animals stimulates children's linguistic and intellectual abilities while at the same time nurturing their emotional sensibilities as well as encouraging their development and growth.

This is the lullaby music Kramer listens to in the story and is sure to become a beloved wonderful bedtime ritual for children to listen to.

Broadway Barks also includes three unique reading modes. Read to Me lets kids enjoy the beautiful narration of Bernadette Peters while playing with the interactive elements found on on every page. Autoplay gives children a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy the story as it unfold as Bernadette Peters narrates and the pages turn automatically.

Pinzator - Puzzles with paper body parts, furry animals and gravity - Published on 07/26/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Totmob, a division of Kinetics, announced Pinzator for iOS. The game mechanics are very original and challenging yet intuitive to play. The player starts with a jumble of paper body parts on a pinboard. By taking pins out and using gravity the user can swing the parts around to connect them. When all the parts are in place the paper animal morphs into a furry version live version to indicate that the puzzle has been completed. There are 8 different animals with 3 puzzles each.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Totmob, a division of Kinetics, has announced Pinzator for iOS. In this game, Totmob has developed some very original game mechanics. Basically the game space is a pin-board, and the characters have been broken up into paper body parts each one attached by 2 pins. The object of the game is to reassemble the character. To do this, the player has to maneuver each part into place, by removing one of the pins, tilting the device to swing the part around, to connect it with another body part or maybe re-pin it. Each connection is color-coded, and has a magnetic style behavior. If a body part touches the edge of the game space the player loses and has to start the puzzle again.

The game offers several ways of playing, which means that each puzzle can be replayed several times and still offer something new. The first way of playing doesn`t take into account the number of moves to solve a puzzle. The player can just keep pinning and unpinning the parts and connecting them until the puzzle is finished. However at the start of each puzzle, a Challenge is laid down. The game suggests a minimum amount of moves in which to do the puzzle. If the player can finish the puzzle in that amount of moves, or less, he gets a Star for that puzzle. The Challenges get very hard as the player progresses towards the more advanced puzzles.

Each puzzle set has to be unlocked, so the game has a sequence to it. However the player doesn`t have to play all the previous puzzles to unlock it. The last puzzle in each set is the one that unlocks the next set, so a player could fast track his way to the last puzzle, if he wishes to.

The animal characters are imaginary and have a fairly original look. Once a puzzle is completed, the player gets rewarded with super-furry fully rendered and shaded version of each character. The gameplay has been tuned to allow a new player to have fun from the very start. The pace picks up gently but surely in level after level.

Feature Highlights:
* 8 puzzle levels
* 8 engaging animal characters
* Different ways of playing each puzzle
* Original game mechanics
* Absorbing gameplay
* Ages 7 and upwards

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 5.4 MB / 18.5 MB (HD)

Pricing and Availability:
Pinzator has free and paid (ad free) versions both in HD and normal resolutions, available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Leo's Book for iPad: Remarkable Kid's Book with Live, Light Box Sand Art - Published on 07/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

YFactory today introduces Leo's Book 1.0 for iPad, their new, interactive book for kids. Among the most remarkable children's books in the App Store, each page of the story is read aloud and consists of video of a master sand artist, as she creates an original illustration. Illuminated with white light from beneath, the layer of sand takes on evocative shapes and textures, much as the narrative takes shape in the mind of the viewer. The app features Interactive, Movie, Book, and Drawing modes.

Seoul, Korea - YFactory today is pleased to introduce Leo's Book 1.0 for iPad, their new, interactive book for kids. Among the most remarkable children's books in the App Store, each page of the story is read aloud and consists of video of a master sand artist as she creates an original illustration. Illuminated with white light from beneath, the layer of sand takes on evocative shapes and textures, much as the narrative takes shape in the imagination of the reader/viewer. The app features Interactive, Movie, Book, and Drawing modes.

Leo's Book tells the story of a little lion named Leo, who finds a square shaped object in the empty field in the woods. "What is this? I've never seen anything like this before." He asks his friends, the elephant, the giraffe, and the dove if they know what it is. Finally, the little girl whose book Leo has found identifies the object. As they read together, she demonstrates how the book can open miraculous experiences of different times and different places. Finally falling asleep, Leo has discovered a dreamworld he can enter anytime, even when awake.

Feature Highlights:
* Storybook text can be read aloud by a professional narrator and voiceover artists as each character
* Narration, background music, and sound effects may be toggled On/Off
* Interactive mode - after completed, each sandpainting can be animated and/or filled with color
* Movie mode - instead of viewing page by page, the entire book is presented without pause
* Book mode - the video showing the artist create the sandpainting is not shown, only her finished picture
* Drawing mode - kids can create, save, and email their own drawings that are combined with scenes from the book

A paean to the imagination of young children, Leo's Book is a celebration of books told in a startlingly original ebook for iPad. Sandpaintings, whether fixed or unfixed, have been found in cultures throughout history all over the world. The sand art in Leo's Book is dynamic art - it is created in real-time. Watching the graceful hands of Eun-young Choi, as she smudges, smoothes, clears, shapes, and sprinkles brown sand on a light box, adds a creative dimension not present in other kids' books. Unlike elaborate book illustrations that leave little to the imagination, this live-action sand art leaves nearly everything to the imagination. Their attention absolutely focused as characters come to life and their imagination completely engaged as the story unfolds, young children (and adults, as well) are sure to make Leo's Book one of their favorites.

"Leo's Book is the world's first sand art, interactive fable app," commented Yong Nam Kim of YFactory. "Let's take a trip to the fantastic fairy tale world drawn on a light box with sand art."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Leo's Book 1.0 is $3.99 (USD) and it is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category. Review copies are available on request.

What's the Fastest Growing iOS Trivia App in History? Ask Trivie. - Published on 07/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Trivie, the ultimate battle of wits played with friends, surpassed 46,000,000 questions answered in just over 30 days from its quiet public release in June, 2012. Trivie is a turn-based asynchronous game between 2 players with over 300 categories. Trivie features questions combined with slot machine mechanics and wagering in a lively social format with the look and feel of a game show. Users may challenge a Facebook friend or let Trivie find a random opponent.

Dallas, Texas - Trivie, the ultimate battle of wits played with friends, surpassed 46,000,000 questions answered in just over 30 days from its quiet public release in June, 2012. Based upon Trivie's MMO infrastructure and long term strategy, co-founder and CEO, Lawrence Schwartz believes that this massive market response is just the beginning.

"Trivie is an extension of the normal human thirst for knowledge," said Schwartz. "What Trivie players quickly discover is that they know a lot, about a lot ... and it's to fun to share that knowledge with friends." Schwartz noted Trivie's ever-growing database of more than 75,000 questions in 300+ varied categories helps accommodate that desire for trivia in a fun, challenging asynchronous game. "Trivie is all about the information we acquire and store, discuss, and ponder," Schwartz commented. "Trivie is a quick, fun, addictive game that anyone can play, and everyone can relate to."

Schwartz envisioned a trivia game for iOS that captured the thrills of a game show. "We believe the user experience is so important for engagement. That's why Trivie feels exactly like a game show - from the visual layout, all the way down to the music and sound effects," Schwartz says.

Trivie's design includes a "tell me more" button, and players can actually learn more about a topic, and review rounds in detail. "Although we didn't originally intend to have an educational game,
people love the in-game learning," said Schwartz.

Trivie is steadily rising up the charts, and gaining some notable players. According to Twitter, both Michael Strahan, former NY Giant, All-Pro, and current NFL Fox Sports commentator, and Chord Overstreet, of Glee are Trivie devotees.

Trivie allows players to challenge friends via Facebook, contacts, or at random. Categories can be chosen by players, or at random within the game. As with many "With Friends" games, players win Trivie tokens, the in-game currency that allows players to wager, upgrade avatars, and increase the fun. Final Trivie is often a battle of wits where players can overcome a poor showing by betting it all on just one question.

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 11.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Trivie - Battle of Wits! Free 1.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. In addition, a paid version of Trivie is also available for $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies).
