Dev Jelly Oasis Launches Gorgeous New iOS Tower Defense - Lich Defense - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iOS app developer, Jelly Oasis today announces Lich Defense 1.0.2, its new gaming title for iOS. Be the Lich king and manage your deadly towers and cast devastating magic in this incredibly addictive real-time strategy tower defense game. Decimate and annihilate invaders in new and exciting ways each level. Built upon the successes of their previous titles, Lich Defense is a tower defense game that many players will feel tops current App Store offerings.

Seoul, Korea - Lich Defense, a newly launched iOS game, is poised to become the hottest new tower defense app in the iTunes App Store. Jelly Oasis, the successful iOS app developer behind the game, earned their chops with the castle defense crowd with their visually impressive and well-designed hit Elf Defense. For Lich Defense, Jelly Oasis has done more than just change the skin on a successful venture. They've created an entirely new experience, built upon the successes of their past, and crafted a tower defense game that many players will feel tops current App Store offerings.

Unlike the pastel-hued fantasy of Elf Defense, Lich Defense offers players a much darker fantasy. The Lich King is an undead ruler, and as such the towers and magical abilities his armies present are of a decidedly different theme than the nature-oriented elementals in previous games. While the game's motif is darker, it's certainly not dull or colorless. The aesthetic sensibilities Jelly Oasis has been known for shine forth in Lich Defense.

Several different environments, including sylvan and arctic themes, provide the backdrop for dozens of challenging stages, each presenting their own logistical challenges. Players collect new defense turrets with additional skills as they progress through the game, and pit them against a wide range of enemies with different strengths and weaknesses. Combining fast paced real-time strategy with RPG-like skill development (upgrades to tower capabilities and the Lich King's special attacks), Lich Defense is an addictive, tightly designed, artistically engaging game.

Features:

* Visually engaging, this dark fantasy is enhanced with superior character design and art direction. Know at a glance what level of each of your towers you've deployed, as they become more impressively detailed with each level upgrade.

* Develop the Lich King's special attacks to weave more variety into your defense strategy, throwing lightening spells, twisting time, and icing your opponents into oblivion.

* Perfect your play by completing over 60 unique quests Each stage offers special goals to be completed in addition to successfully clearing the stage, offering players even more addictive play time as they seek to prove their domination over the Lich King's enemies.

* Tailor your defense forces to your personal battle strategies by choosing which towers to give more power to between stages. Spend your gold wisely, upping your physical or magical defenses, or acquiring stunning new area of attack abilities for the King himself.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 82.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Lich Defense 1.0.2 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Its launch has earned fans around the world, and to celebrate its freshest victory - a number one spot in the sports game category in Japan - Vitusoft is offering a limited time mega sale.

Seoul, Korea - Vitusoft's iTunes App Store homerun, Wannabat, is a hard hitting 3D freestyle street baseball game steeped in cutting edge fashion and fast-paced action. Its launch has earned fans around the world, and to celebrate its freshest victory - a number one spot in the sports game category in Japan - Vitusoft is offering a limited time mega sale. The premium version of Wannabat will be completely free for a limited period of time.

Fans of the game are hooked by its action-focused game design. By formulating a unique one-on-one battle format, Wannabat allows players to focus on the most engaging parts of the game - hitting and pitching. With a smooth, minimalistic controls system that combines simplicity and precision, players can hone their skills to strike out rivals, or to hit one out of the park themselves. The game also offers several different play modes to appeal to players' preferences, and a massive in-game store for players to customize their characters with vanity and stats boosting items. Exceptional art direction and an edgy attitude bring it home for this App Store superstar.

There are two versions of Wannabat - a free version, and a paid premium version. During this outstanding celebration sale, however, new players can enjoy the bonuses that come with the paid version without paying a cent. Wannabat is available right now in the iTunes App Store, and it's a free download. But hurry - this sale is for a limited time.

Major Features:

* Multi-Player Mode:
Show off your skills by battling real-life opponents in real-time, wagering your skills against their battle points to boost your reputation and buy new bling in the shop.

* Single Player Mode:
Face off against Wannabat's own star NPCs, defeating each one to gain skill points, advance levels, and unlock special items in the shop. As each NPC is defeated, their character becomes unlocked in the custom game mode.

* Custom Game Mode:
Hone your skills against NPCs in custom game mode. As each is unlocked, you'll gain valuable practice time and have a perfect pick-up-and-play option available anytime the mood to strike out a batter strikes you!

* Flawless Game Design & Responsive Mechanics:
Switch off batting and pitching every other inning, and refine your skills at both. Simple game mechanics make learning Wannabat easy, but it's going to take talent to rule the street!

* Special Skills:
Use your skill points to improve your swings and pitches, and acquire new specialized moves to stump your opponents. As you progress, special Deadly Skills will become available when adrenaline runs high and the rage gauge fills. As a pitcher, add new pitches to your arsenal: fourseam, curve, fork, changeup, and slider. Combine them with deadly moves like twister, illusion, and arrow to become unstoppable. When batting, activate your power swing to up your chances of a well-placed hit becoming a game-changing home run!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later

Mom, can I have your iPhone pleeeeeaaaaase? - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Valerie Touze, Montessori teacher and co-founder at Les Trois Elles Interactive shares her views on children and smart phones, tablets usage as her award-winning company announces the release of Montessori Geometry 1.1, its new children's educational app for iOS. Montessori Geometry features 23 different shapes in 2D and 3D, with 6 beautiful Shape-Finding Cities to hunt shapes around the world. Younger children will enjoy learning shapes beyond the usual circle, triangle and square.

Paris, France - Mom, can I have your iPhone please? Is this the most used sentence by our Digital Natives these days?

"I'm pretty sure it sits right up there in Children's Top Ten Sentences along with 'No' (does it qualify as a sentence????), 'I'm not tired' and 'I'm hungry'! It particularly struck me the other day when I was sitting in a waiting room with my kids and the same question seemed to pop-up all over the room!" says Valerie Touze, Montessori teacher and co-founder at Les Trois Elles Interactive. "This is exactly why my partners and I set up Les Trois Elles Interactive two years ago; to give parents a real educational alternative when kids ask them for their iPhone/iPod or iPad."

Les Trois Elles Interactive, the award-winning publisher of Montessori Numberland, and Montessori Letter Sounds announces today that it is releasing a new app called Montessori Geometry. Montessori Geometry is designed for children from 5 to 10. Younger children will enjoy learning shapes beyond the usual circle, triangle and square. Middle school children will spend hours playing with the different 3D shapes.

Some of Montessori Geometry's exciting features:
* 23 different shapes in 2D and 3D
* 6 beautiful Shape-Finding Cities to hunt shapes around the world
* An exclusive "magic paintbrush" option to reveal the hidden shapes
* A 2-player game to cooperate and not compete
* A "medals board" for positive reinforcement
* Stunning high quality graphics
* 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Japanese and Chinese

Montessori Geometry is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category. Les Trois Elles Interactive subscribes to Apple's "Discount for Educational Institutions" program, offering a reduced price for purchases of over 20 apps. Journalists and bloggers can contact Les Trois Elles Interactive for more information or promo codes.

"As a teacher, people often ask me my opinion on children and the use of digital devices. For obvious reasons I cannot say I am against children using smartphones/tablets. Our kids are 21st Century children so we have to let them live with their Time. However, I always alert parents on the importance of their role in this relatively new process: carefully choose the apps and always stay with the child when he plays with it for the first time. We always hear a lot of comments/opinions on screen time but there is a very big argument to be made on content suitability! Handing an iPhone to a 4 year old is like leaving him in an endless digital library, not all contents are appropriate, he needs to be guided."

Other apps by Les Trois Elles Interactive:
Montessori Numberland, currently featured in Apple's New & Noteworthy, won a Gold Medal at the Parents' Choice Awards last Fall. This very beautiful app takes children on a wonderful journey making them count objects from 1 to 9. When children are ready, it unveils the secret of the zero.

Montessori Letter Sounds is a must have phonics app. It offers children four steps from playing and identifying sounds ('I spy with my little eye') to spelling their first phonetic words. Throughout the app, children earn marbles that enable them to unlock new levels. Montessori Letter Sounds Learn French offers French phonics and cursive letters to English speaking children.

All of Les Trois Elles Interactive's apps comply with Common Core State Standards in Preschool Math and Literacy and children love Tam & Tao, their twin character heroes.

Les Trois Elles Interactive's main goal when designing apps:
* Help children learn basic concepts using the Montessori Method on 21st Century devices
* Offer a beautiful interactive environment
* Increase children's self-confidence by never "punishing" wrong answers

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 40.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Montessori Geometry 1.1 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Announcing Squashies World, the new action-puzzle game for iOS - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based mobile app publisher, Focus Multimedia introduces Squashies World 1.0, it brand new action-puzzle game developed for iOS devices. Featuring intuitive squashy touch controls, Squashies World asks players to rescue the stranded Squashies, a collection of cute, cool and colourful characters, after their world is turned upside down by a tornado. Players must work out how to save the Squashies by squashing together characters of the same type until there are none left in the level.

Staffordshire, The United Kingdom - Successful mobile app publisher, Focus Multimedia, has announced a charming and unique new action-puzzle game, Squashies World, for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Developed by award-winning studio The Game Creators, Squashies World asks players to rescue the stranded Squashies - a collection of cute, cool and colourful characters - after their world is turned upside down by a tornado.

The Squashies are desperate to return to the world where they live. Players must work out how to save the Squashies by squashing together characters of the same type until there are none left in the level. The game uses intuitive squashy touch controls to aim the characters around the playing field. The quicker the player clears a level, the more points they are awarded.

Each of the hand-crafted levels offers a different challenge, and a variety of obstacles stands in the player's way. Barriers, force fields, windmills, sticky walls and other devious devices all conspire to thwart the Squashies on their journey home. Fortunately, easy-to-learn controls allow the player to concentrate on honing their skills and steadily progressing through the vividly coloured levels.

"We wanted to put out an action-puzzle game that really makes the most of the touch screen," said Rick Vanner, Business Development Director for The Game Creators. "We've found that players really enjoy the elasticity involved in pinging the Squashies across the screen."

"Squashies World is ideal for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch gamers seeking a blast of fun," said Grant Hughes, Director of Focus Multimedia's fdigital mobile label. "It's a very addictive game with intuitive controls, vibrant visuals and sneaky puzzles, and it will quickly hook casual players."

Squashies World relies on skill, accuracy and speed. The characters' actions are accurately physically modelled to create an unlimited variety of bouncy movements. With a specially-commissioned soundtrack and cartoon-quality sound effects, Squashies World is a rich gaming experience that will bring a smile to players' faces.

Squashies World is a unique partnership with Swizzels Matlow Ltd., the UK's largest family-owned independent confectionery business, to mark the launch of their new range of gums.

The Adventures of Retrobot Debuts on the App Store - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Endeavor Bros and Monkube today introduce Retrobot 1.0 for iOS, an intense tank shooter with epic boss battles featuring animated graphic novel style storytelling. The Adventures of Retrobot follows the story of a DIY robot built as a gaming buddy who's out to save his maker from the evil robots who've taken over the world. Retrobot and sidekick Toto's journey is filled with slapstick humor that makes gaming logic and real world rules collide.

Regina, Canada - Endeavor Bros and Monkube today announced the launch of The Adventures of Retrobot, an intense tank shooter with epic boss battles featuring animated graphic novel style storytelling. Available now on the App Store for $0.99, The Adventures of Retrobot follows the story of a DIY robot built as a gaming buddy who's out to save his maker from the evil robots who've taken over the world.

Throughout his adventure, Retrobot acquires new weapons and power-ups to fight off the never ending onslaught of robot overlords. Tactical use of shield and powerful EMP blasts are needed to complete the mission. The Adventures of Retrobot takes the player through numerous worlds, tackles challenging level bosses and tells a full comic book worth of story though animated story sequences. Having lived in a bubble of constant video-game playing and with no prior experience of the world outside, Retrobot and sidekick Toto's journey is filled with slapstick humor that makes gaming logic and real world rules collide. More often than not, with a wink towards gaming's biggest classics.

A game for everyone:
In order to cater to both the occasional and experienced iOS gamers, The Adventures of Retrobot is geared with several gameplay modes. The Story Mode offers a balanced learning curve, varied enough to keep hardened players interested, without preventing occasional gamers from seeing the story through. Seeing the credits roll is just the beginning for experienced gamers. As a Challenge Mode, with one life, no retries and faster enemy spawning and a Boss Challenge await. In those game modes, the majority of the Game Center points are awarded. Completing one of these game modes - which is far from an easy feat - earns players a spot in the separate high score charts.

"The Adventures of Retrobot takes two of the greatest entertainment categories - comics and games - and fuses them together for a hugely addictive and fun experience," said Adam Heat, Co-Founder of Endeavor Bros. "We've spent countless hours bringing together what we believe could be a game changer in the mobile gaming space."

Sven Van de Perre, Creative Director at Monkube remarks, "For us, game development has always been about finding a game genre that is under-used in today's tidal wave of mobile games. And then trying to create a game that raises the bar. Ever since being hooked on Popcap's tank shooter Heavy Weapon, I wanted to have a go at this. With The Adventures of Retrobot, we bring amazing frantic shooter action, while also adding like-able characters, great story telling and - which is up to the consumer to judge - some funny video game related humor."

To go beyond the call of duty, Endeavor Bros and Monkube brought together an all-star support cast, including:

* Comic book publisher Ape Entertainment, developers of the massively popular Pocket God Comics featuring work from artist Carlos Valenti and Cut the Rope Comics apps.
* Maurits 'Mo' Goossens, part of Monkube's in-house music team, composed the massive classical score that drives both game and story. As 1st violin and former conductor of the Brussels Philharmonic orchestra, he worked on several motion pictures scores, including Golden Globe-winning picture "The Aviator" (Martin Scorcese) and 2012 Oscar winner "The Artist" (Michel Hazanavicius).

About Monkube:
Monkube is a mobile game developer with offices in Belgium, Romania and Hong Kong. Founded by ex gaming journalists, Monkube intentionally steers clear of over-used game concepts, instead fusing its games with complete comic book stories and uber polished gameplay.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 456 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Retrobot 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Help Save the Red Panda with Laloo the Red Panda for iPad - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bay Area kid's book app developer LalooLLC today introduces Laloo the Red Panda, an animated interactive book for iPad. Twenty percent of each app install is donated to Red Panda Network, a non-profit committed to the conservation of the red panda. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, among IPO driven start-ups, Laloo LLC seeks to create a business model that stands out as an altruistic alternative. Laloo the Red Panda is a whimsical tale about a red panda cub's adventures in India.s to create a business model that stands out as an altruistic alternative. Laloo the Red Panda is a whimsical tale about a red panda cub's adventures in India.

San Francisco, California - Bay Area children's book app developer Laloo LLC pursues an altruistic goal: to develop entertaining book applications that teach children about endangered species, and to donate proceeds from each app installed to a non-profit devoted to wildlife conservation. Their first app, Laloo the Red Panda, launched September 12th on iPad, and features the story of a red panda on a journey of self-discovery in India. Laloo LLC has aligned with Bay Area non-profit The Red Panda Network, which is devoted to the conservation of the red panda and its habitat in the Himalayas. Twenty percent of each app install is donated to Red Panda Network.

Co-founder of Laloo LLC, Lauren Freeman claims, "I've always wanted to produce children's entertainment with an altruistic end goal. Years ago, I had my sights set on feature animation, but with the advent of the iPad we were able to produce content faster and without initial external funding. We hope that micro-donations via purchases of this book app prove to be a viable way to contribute to wildlife conservation NPOs, such as Red Panda Network. In an IPO motivated climate like Silicon Valley, people might think we're crazy San Francisco hippies with this business model! After all, we're giving away 50% of our income from the beginning (Apple's take of 30%, plus the 20% donation). But the reality is, we feel that there's no creative goal more worthy of our effort, especially when it comes to children's entertainment, than one that helps preserve our world's natural state for generations to come."

Red Panda Network CEO Dirk Kloss embraces the new media partners: "Mobile apps and online fundraising are enabling us to reach wider audiences with our conservation message who probably had never thought about - or didn't know how - to help the endangered species and dwindling Himalayan forests that are so crucial for the livelihood of millions in resource-poor uplands and water-dependent lowlands. Laloo introduces them in a playful way to the issues and solutions, and to convenient donation options that puts them directly in touch with trusted organizations like us, so we can concentrate on what we do best: make an effective difference on the ground for the survival of people and wildlife."

About Red Panda Network:
Red Panda Network is a Bay Area non-profit organization devoted to the conservation of the endangered red panda and its habitat in the Himalayas. To stop the rapid deforestation and degradation RPN uses its hallmark community-based monitoring and conservation approach that educates and empowers mountain villagers toward more sustainable land use, energy practices, and coexistence in the forests which both animals and people depend on for their livelihoods.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Laloo the Red Panda 1 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

Acronis Addresses Demand for Secure Data with Acquistion of GroupLogic - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Acronis, a leading provider of disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today announces that it has acquired secure enterprise file access, sharing and syncing software company GroupLogic to help organizations keep their dynamic data accessible and available at all times, on any platform, from creation to storage. The consumerization of IT, mobile computing and big data are driving need for corporate content and systems to be accessible.

Woburn, Massachusetts - Acronis(R), a leading provider of disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today announces that it has acquired secure enterprise file access, sharing and syncing software company GroupLogic(R) to help organizations keep their dynamic data accessible and available at all times, on any platform, from creation to storage.

The acquisition of GroupLogic is a significant component of Acronis' vision to address new market demands for data availability, accessibility and protection against the rise in enterprise mobility, the volume and velocity of content creation, user driven collaboration tools and rising storage costs.

Since joining Acronis in January 2012, President and CEO Alex Pinchev has recognized that powerful forces in the market are causing CIOs to re-think their approach to data. "Our customers are facing a new IT environment. The growth of big data, the drive for greater collaboration and the rise in mobile working have introduced new devices and unsecure file sharing practices into the enterprise. Confidential corporate content is regularly leaving the network on iPads(R), smartphones or via a public Cloud. With the acquisition of GroupLogic we are positioned to help organizations of all sizes realize the benefits of enterprise mobility and secure collaboration, while keeping corporate content and systems available and accessible at all times," said Pinchev.

IDC Analyst Laura DuBois said, "Applying Acronis' strong heritage of providing easy-to-use backup and recovery technologies for any type of IT environment to the enterprise social collaboration market, gives enterprises a way to not only protect data, but also enable secure and centralized corporate file sharing, access and synchronization. When combined with the demands for storage optimization, Acronis is significantly expanding its offering to prepare organizations for the third platform of computing, which is built on cloud services, mobile workers, social business and Big Data."

"GroupLogic and Acronis share a common vision that software for the modern IT organization has to be easy to use, support a diversity of platforms and most importantly, reduce operating costs while mitigating risk," said Chris Broderick, the former CEO of GroupLogic who has joined Acronis as SVP, Mobility Solutions. "Together, we can give CIO's the tools that address secure collaboration and data accessibility from creation at the edge of the network, to making sure that data is easily recoverable from storage. Helping IT organizations manage the diversity of file types, platforms, environments and devices that end users are demanding, is a critical mandate of the enterprises we talk to today."

In addition to secure enterprise file sharing and syncing for mobile workers, GroupLogic solutions enable organizations to provide seamless collaboration without compromising their corporate data protection or storage optimization strategies. Furthermore, GroupLogic solutions provide seamless integration of Apple(R) devices into enterprise server environments.

GroupLogic was founded in 1988 in Arlington, VA. GroupLogic's employees will be joining the Acronis team, and GroupLogic CEO Chris Broderick will join the Acronis Executive Management team.

Easier Scanning and More: DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.4.2 - Published on 09/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVONtechnologies LLC enhances the new scanning feature in all editions of DEVONthink 2.4.2, adds support for OS X 10.8's Calendar and Reminders applications, and improves the first launch experience with a new assistant. All editions including DEVONnote also receive bug fixes. The update is recommended for all users. The maintenance release facilitates scanning documents with multiple pages and adds support for OS X 10.8's Calendar and Reminders applications.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, - DEVONtechnologies LLC enhances the new scanning feature in all editions of DEVONthink 2.4.2, adds support for OS X 10.8's Calendar and Reminders applications, and improves the first launch experience with a new assistant. All editions including DEVONnote also receive bug fixes. The update is recommended for all users.

The maintenance release facilitates scanning documents with multiple pages using the new scanning feature of DEVONthink, which is also available in the Personal and Pro editions, and adds support for OS X 10.8's Calendar and Reminders applications to DEVONthink Pro and up. Scanning to PDF or TIFF reveals a convenient "Combine into single document" option which, when checked, directly collects all scanned pages into a new document. No more manual collecting, no additional clicks necessary. The updated scripts add selected documents or groups to Calendar or Reminders and remind you at a given item. A link added to the notes of the event or reminder lets you open the document with a single click later.

Students - just gathering their stuff for the new semester - will love the much faster and more reliable integration with the well-known reference and bibliography manager Bookends. The new script retrieves and uses the reference title now, too (requires Bookends 11.3.3 or later). Collect your references in Bookends and add them to your DEVONthink database with all the PDFs, links, and other materials, quickly and always with a link back to Bookends.

The new launch assistant greets you as a first-time user of DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office and guides you through three simple steps instead of overwhelming you with opening multiple windows: setting up a database, installing add-ons, and adjusting the preferences. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

In addition, DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.4.2 use stricter rules for duplicates, better localized sorting, come with updated RSS style sheets optimized for Retina displays (Pro and up), and improved 64-bit support. As always the updates fix known bugs and further boost the performance that our applications are well-known for. We recommend this update for all users with an Intel-based Mac running OS X 10.6.8 or later.

"DEVONthink is a powerful product - and sometimes with power comes complexity. With the new option for quickly combining multiple pages into a new document without any further actions we're making capturing documents much simpler, and the assistant gets new users flying without scaring them away with installers, windows, and jumping Dock icons. And we won't stop here", says Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.

Pricing & Availability:
All four apps require OS X 10.6.8 or later and an Intel-based Mac, and can be downloaded from DEVONtechnologies online. DEVONthink and DEVONnote can be test-driven for free for 150 hours of non-continuous runtime until they need to be properly licensed. DEVONnote and DEVONthink Personal are also available in the Mac App Store.

* DEVONthink Pro Office: US $149.95
* DEVONthink Pro: US $79.95
* DEVONthink Personal: US $49.95 (Mac App Store: US $49.99)
* DEVONnote: US $24.95 (Mac App Store: US $24.99)
