Not A Basement Studio was started in January 2010 when Ken Luong, Khoa Nguyen and Hieu Tran were getting bored with the university's curriculum and WoW's raiding nights. Being avid manga fans, they looked to the App Store for something to cure their boredom. That's when the idea for their first app came about. After four months of hard work and countless (actually 120) sleepless nights, Manga Rock, a manga reader for the iPhone, was released. Greeted with much love, and hate, the app received close to one million download on the app store. Two years later, joined by more like-minded and passionate people, we are now making awesome apps for the iOS App Store, making life better, one app at a time.

What Punky Brewster's kids are playing on their iPad - Published on 08/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

With over a million followers, yesterday's child's star is now a major trendsetter and pop icon for the young moms who grew up watching her on TV. And when she speaks, she can dramatically move the needle, influencing the sales of a wide range of kid-related products. See what's playing on her iPad, and how her four-year-old daughter's attention drove a Spinlight app back to the top of the charts.

Champaign, Illinois - Nearly 30 years ago, she was the bright-eyed, child star of Punky Brewster on NBC. Now, Soleil Moon Frye is a successful author, entrepreneur and screenwriter - and occasional guest on shows like the Today Show, where she talks about the things that fascinate her kid's today. This morning, it was AlphaTots, an early education app that's apparently getting a lot of playtime from her youngest, Jagger.

"My four-year old is obsessed with this app," says Frye. "It's super fun. It really helps with their words." Even though today's kids don't know their Brewster from their Bieber, a small mention like that can spark major interest among the moms who grew up watching Soleil. And that, in turn, can mean a lot to the companies she mentions, like Spinlight, who - as the developers of AlphaTots - got an unexpected boost from the pop mom's Today Show mention.

"It's hard to beat a celebrity endorsement," says Matt Hutton, creative director and partner at Spinlight. Especially when that celebrity has more than a million followers. "AlphaTots has been out for a year, but this morning it was number two in education, passing a lot of major names along the way." In fact, by 11 a.m. this morning, it had passed both Tiger Woods PGA Tour and Madden NFL.

"It's funny to think someone you used to watch on TV is now watching you," says Hutton. "We never saw that coming. But nevertheless, we're very grateful for the plug."

To learn more about Soleil Moon Frye, you can visit her website, follow her on Twitter, or read about her parenting adventures in her book "Happy Chaos: From Punky to Parenting and My Perfectly Imperfect Adventures in Between."

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 26.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
AlphaTots 1.4 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Spinlight Studio is an award-winning education app developer, headquartered in Champaign, Illinois. Founded as a graphic design company in 2000, Spinlight entered app development in 2011 with a string of Top-100 Education titles for the iPad and iPhone including AlphaTots, TallyTots, TableTots, Swapsies and Operation Math. Since then, Spinlight apps have earned big raves from top reviewers, including Parents' Choice, Babble, AppTudes and Teachers With Apps - who named Spinlight Studio one of the 10 Outstanding App Developers of 2011. In 2012, Spinlight also expanded into the Android Market, bringing their popular kid's apps the Fire, Nook, Nabi and other major tablets. Copyright (C) 2000-2012 Spinlight Studio.

Just Released: Genre-Twisting Sport Game Track & Tricks, iOS and Android - Published on 08/31/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nebula Entertainment announces Track & Tricks 1.1, a brand new mobile game for iOS and Android. A track and field game, Track & Tricks incorporates elements from the arcade and rhythm genres, with an emphasis on high production values and creating an engaging, fun experience for the user. The game challenges user to drive their running avatar forward by rhythmically tap a heart hovering above its head.

Sevilla, Spain - Track & Tricks, Nebula Entertainment's latest release, is a sports game with a twist. The game mechanics are deceptively simple: to drive your running avatar forward, you must rhythmically tap a heart hovering above its head. You must also keep watch of your gathering stamina, which you can deplete in spectacular sprinting bursts.

And if all that hard work is not paying off for you, and opponents insist on taking the lead, there's always the possibility of leaving pleasantries behind. A collection of power-ups lets you, for instance, throw a banana peel on the opponent's track and see them take the fall, to your gain. Power-ups are provided in Mario Kart-style mistery boxes, and additional ones can be purchased at the game store as in-app purchases.

"We wanted to take the traditional track & field game to another level," says Juan Mejias, game designer at Nebula. "Traditionally, this has been a genre of button-bashing, but we saw that touch-screen devices required a different approach. Plus this is consistent with our goal of making a fun and approachable game". As for the bananas, "We just thought they would be great fun."

In the iOS version, the game is structured in two modes: Compete, where you fight for a gold medal in three-round tournaments, and Challenge, where you can dare any Game Center user to an online turn-based competition.

"Using a turn-based system for a running game is actually a pretty novel proposition. We haven't heard of any examples". After each race, you are presented with your speed level, which you can increase by completing missions in Jepack Joyride style. You start off as a rock, and advance to an undisclosed 16th level. "I'm not telling, but you can't easily get faster than that. And no, it's not light, that would be too easy."

Language Support:
English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish

Device Requirements:
* 3/4Gen iPhone, iPad, or 3/4Gen iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 34.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Track & Tricks 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. It is also available free for android on Google Play.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent children's app publisher Nosy Crow is celebrating Labor Day with a price drop for its first Life Science app, Rounds: Franklin Frog 1.0.1. The app, which is available on the App Store for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, will be $1.99 USD for one day only on Monday, September 3. Children participate in every stage of Franklin's life, from birth to parenthood, including hopping, swimming, eating, laying frogspawn and changing from a tadpole into a frog.

London, United Kingdom - Independent children's app publisher Nosy Crow is celebrating Labor Day with a price drop for its first Life Science app, Rounds: Franklin Frog.

Rounds: Franklin Frog is the first app in an innovative new series about the life-cycles of animals. Children can participate in every stage of Franklin's life, from birth to parenthood, and take part in all of the things that frogs do best, including hopping, swimming, eating, and laying frogspawn and, best of all, changing from a tadpole into a frog - and then they start all over again with Franklin's son. The app is filled with fun facts about frogs carefully designed to inspire enthusiasm and teach young children about biology.

PadGadget wrote, "The app's tone strikes the perfect balance between accuracy and age-appropriate content ... Rounds: Franklin Frog's pacing is masterful. The story is neither too overstimulating for children, nor too subdued to capture their attention." iLounge wrote, "Rounds: Franklin Frog is a beautifully assembled educational book. It's entirely worth the asking price, and another welcome step beyond the prior fairy tale titles that helped Nosy Crow establish itself as a leading App Store developer for kids."
