IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Flying has never been so much fun! Flying Kritters is celebrating the Labor Day holiday celebration with a price drop. Flying Kritters, developed for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, is now free for a limited time starting on Monday, September 3rd. Just how good are your reflexes? Played in landscape mode, Flying Kritters is an addictive, whimsical and fun to play flying game. Help the kritter of your choice slide down hills and fly as far as it can through any of three magical game worlds.

Carrollton, Georgia - Flying has never been so much fun! Flying Kritters is celebrating the Labor Day holiday celebration with a price drop. The app, which is available on the App Store for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, is now free for a limited time starting on Monday, September 3rd.

"I'm really happy with the reception our Flying Kritters game has received so far. Our new users seem to really enjoy it and we hope this quick sale will widen our app's audience," says Debbie Ray, Rowdy App's Owner and developer of this app. "We felt that the back-to-school season and the Labor Day holiday was a great time to celebrate the current release of Flying Kritters and to build on its wonderful, current user base. We only ask that the new users please leave us some good feedback during this sale in return for the free game - if you have the time. Because it helps support us too!"

Played in landscape mode, Flying Kritters is an addictive, whimsical and fun to play flying game. Gameplay is inspired in many ways by the hit game Tiny Wings. "The main complaint we so often get about this game is that there are just too many cute kritters to choose from", said Debbie, laughing! "There are 9 to choose from! Which one will be your favorite?" asks Ray of Rowdy Apps. "We are also aware of a Game Center bug but that will be fixed in our next update - so just click the buttons to get through that then you'll be all ready to enjoy a fun game experience."

The main goal of the Flying Kritters games is to help the kritter of your choice slide down hills and fly as far as it can through any of three magical game worlds. Just how good are your reflexes? Proper timing is key too! Using only your finger, just tap the screen when going downhill, then release to go up the hill and fly away. Fans of Tiny Wings will certainly be familiar with this kind of hill and flight setup. Then, simply earn as many coins as you can before time runs out to get the highest score that you can.

"A great twist on tiny wings. Cute characters & awesome music! - Mo Apps!!

"Geez...where my time go? - This a very fun little game...give it a try!" - J. McIntosh

"Great :-) - Great fun game, addictive!" - FreeMagicTricks4u

SillyTale MahJong 1.0 for iOS: Stacked Tiles, 1-Player Solitaire MahJong - Published on 09/03/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Silly Tale Studio today introduces SillyTale MahJong 1.0 for iOS, their single-player MahJong, which offers the maximum complexity of the solitaire version of the game. Featuring authentic, 3D, Chinese playing tiles and restful music, the game uses the standard, MahJong set of 144 stones or tiles. The goal is to clear the board by removing all the tiles from one of many layouts, which differ in pattern, size, and height. Tiles can only be removed in matching pairs and must both be "free."

Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation - Silly Tale Studio today is pleased to introduce SillyTale MahJong 1.0 for iOS, their new single-player MahJong, which offers the maximum complexity of the solitaire version of the game as originally created by Brodie Lockard in 1981. Featuring authentic, 3D, Chinese playing tiles and restful music, the game uses the standard, MahJong set of 144 stones or tiles. The goal is to clear the board by removing all the tiles from one of many layouts, which differ in pattern, size, and height. Tiles can only be removed two at a time, they must be identical matches, and they must be "free" (capable of sliding right or left, and without any tiles covering them).

Unlike other single-player MahJong games, this one includes unprecedented ergonomics, levels of difficulty, gameplay action, photo-realistic tiles, and optional hints. The innovative design features of SillyTale MahJong for iOS allow users to enjoy gameplay on any iDevice, including the iPhone. In order to arrange a large number of tiles so that they can be easily read by the player, the developers have temporarily hidden all of the interface elements, such as buttons and indicators. In addition, the game incorporates smooth, high-magnification pinch gestures to quickly zoom in and out.

Feature Highlights:
* Favorite layout "The Turtle," and more
* Hard classic game
* Increasing levels of difficulty
* Pinch-to-Zoom the layout view
* Increased field of view
* Hidden control panel
* Hint and Undo
* Music and sound control
* Saves when exiting and goes to background
* Unique scoring

A SillyTale MahJong position initially consists of a pile of 144 stones/tiles. The goal of the game is to remove all the tiles from the screen. A solved position is one where all the tiles are removed, and each puzzle has multiple solutions (matches and the order of removing tiles). Each of the 144 stones in the game has a face, and there are 36 distinct faces. Per face, there are four stones with that face (two pair), and they must be removed in matching pairs. Stones picturing a Flower (plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo) or a Season (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring) are bonus tiles, not requiring an identical match. Any Season or Flower combination counts as a pair because there is only one of each tile.

A MahJong position is a pile of stones, all face up. In some cases, a tile's face may be obscured by one or more others above it. A stone can be removed only when it is possible to "slide it" to the left (west) or right (east), with no other stone covering it (fully or partially). A tile cannot be removed when it is touched by others on the left and on the right, even when it is not touched by tiles to the north or south. A stone that can be removed is called a free stone. Unlike Solitaire MahJong played with real tiles, SillyTale MahJong does not allow the player to see the tiles as they are stacked, providing a pure challenge to the virtual, iOS player.

On launch in landscape orientation, the game allows the user to choose from 12 different symmetrical, tile-stacking designs for the puzzle they want to solve. All initial position, geometrically stacked piles of stones consist of all 144 tiles, and each is rated from two to five stars in difficulty. The app includes integrated Facebook and Twitter connectivity for sharing games, free hints after 60 seconds without a move, continuing paused games, and soothing Chinese music. Two players can collaborate on a single puzzle or compete against each other.

"Start your new adventure, solving puzzles with gradually increasing complexity," stated Petr Mizerov of Silly Tale Studio. "On your way, you can expect the mysterious pyramids and altars. At the end of the path awaits the Temple with an increased level of difficulty. But to get to it, you'll need to overcome the Pyramid, so you will require persistence and patience. Good luck in your adventures, you'll need it!"

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

Pricing and Availability:
SillyTale MahJong 1.0 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Optional tile shuffles, removals, and hints are available through in-app purchases.

It contains an interactive pop-up book that explains the mathematical backgrounds in a fun & understandable way.

Munich, Germany - iOrnament, written by math professor and independent developer Jurgen Richter-Gebert, combines art and science, math and fun, creativity and education. Using your finger as a stylus you create intricate symmetric patterns that are "mind-blowing, truly wonderful, very cool, amazing, spectacular fun, beautiful, educational, hypnotic and addicting,..." according to the many user comments on the iTunes App Store.

Spinlight Introduces Multi-Player version of Operation Math - Published on 09/03/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Odd is back. And this time, it'll take an entire team to stop him, in the hot, new, multi-player game, based on the 2012 Parents' Choice Award winner - Operation Math. With Operation Math: Code Squad, Spinlight Studio ups the action, bringing up to four players together to disarm a series of math-busting devices before their time runs out. Parents and educators alike are bound to love the multi-player action, in the new Spinlight spy adventure guaranteed to leave them shaken. And stirred.

In Operation Math: Code Squad, up to four players must race to disarm a series of math-busting devices, solving a series of equations before their time is up.

The clue: all web snippets are automatically updated, so you immediately discover when something changed on a page. You can organize & arrange your snippets on multiple pages - similarly as rearranging apps. The fields of application are unlimited: for example, NetSnips could be used for weather, stocks, news, daily cartoons, sport results or the cinema program.

Moreover you can open the full webpage, with a single tap on your snippet - without annoying page reloadings!

Netsnips Is Handy:
NetSnips allows you to scroll and zoom to your preferred area on a webpage. Define the size for your snippet and arrange it on one of the available pages. With a single tap on your snippet you can even open the corresponding webpage in full screen! This feature is very convenient if you want to find out the latest news from your favorite web pages: Preview the snippet and open the full page only if you discover that something changed!

NetSnips Is Simple:

Moreover it keeps your webpages in memory as long as possible. So, after a single tap on your snippet, you can start browsing the full webpage - without reloading! NetSnips 1.1 updates your snippets even faster, by validating if the webpage has changed since the last updating point in time before starting a full page reload.

NetSnips Is Intelligent:
All web snippets are updated in an intelligent way, which means that first of all it brings your currently visible snippets up-to-date and loads remaining ones afterwards.

"Many users even tell me that since they can see the tying instructions superimposed on their image, tying a tie has become fun for them" continues Zimmermann. "As I am convinced that TieSight can help many men tying a tie, I decided to provide a free basic version of my App, so everybody can see how easy tying a tie can be when you get support from augmented reality."
