Turn N Run HD 1.0 for iOS - 3D Platformer with 360-Degree View - Published on 09/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MaxNick today introduces Turn 'N' Run HD 1.0 for iOS, their 3D platformer that allows players to get a 360-degree view on the action. Players guide an alien as he walks or jumps between floating platforms, collecting gems on the way back to his rocket ship. There is no jump control. Rather, he can only move to a platform that is directly adjacent, as seen in 2D front view. This creates very challenging gameplay, as the 3D top view may reveal the adjacent platform to be far in front or behind.

Stavropol, Russian Federation - MaxNick today is pleased to introduce Turn 'N' Run HD 1.0 for iOS, their 3D platformer that allows players to get a 360-degree view on the action. Players guide an alien as he walks or jumps between floating platforms, collecting gems on the way back to his rocket ship. There is no jump control; players touch a desired destination, and if possible, the alien complies. The rules of the game limit his movement, so that he can only move to a platform that is directly adjacent, as seen in 2D front view. This creates unexpectedly challenging gameplay, since the 3D top view may reveal the adjacent platform to be far in front or behind. Featuring high quality, Retina-display ready, 3D graphics and animation, Turn 'N' Run HD includes 60 levels of play spread over 3 different worlds.

Offering console-quality 3D graphics & animation, plus post console-quality resolution and effects on Retina display screens, Turn 'N' Run boasts ultra-sharp, real-time, touch manipulation of the 3D game world. It is a world filled with humor, highly detailed, but in a biological rather than a technological sense. The friendly, 3D alien walks enthusiastically across a line of platforms that are in perfect 2D alignment, occasionally tripping over a stone, falling on his face, chuckling, and continuing on. Bulbous, multicolored planets rotate in the background, complete with real-time, surface-dependent lighting effects.

Feature Highlights:
* Turn the array of blocks to find a path back to the rocket ship
* 360-degree views of the game space
* Optional Superguide device will provide hints, showing the best route to the rocket
* Innovative, 3D platformer with no jump control
* 60 levels of play across 3 different worlds

Platforms consist of one or more floating cubes of dirt covered with grass on top. There may be 10 or more onscreen simultaneously, arranged in geometric patterns or stacked. The alien stands on one, his rocket ship on another. Three or more gems may be onscreen, with each occupying the top of one cube. To win, players must collect all the gems and then reach the rocket ship. Gems are displayed in their natural ruby color, if it is possible for the alien to somehow reach and win it in the current view. Gems that cannot be reached in the current view are displayed in gray.

A button at the top right toggles between 2D and 3D views. In 2D, or front view, the camera is locked down and only background objects move; the platforms themselves never move. In 2D, orthographic view, all cubic platforms appear identical, with no depth cues. There is no way of knowing where each platform is located on the z-axis (depth axis), and no way of knowing how many cubes may be behind the frontmost platform. All moves are made in 2D view. The player can drag across the screen to rotate or tilt the view in any direction, and when that which was formerly a side view becomes the new front view, the alien turns on his platform to face the player.

Using the view button to move to 3D viewing mode, the camera assumes an isometric position, looking down on the platforms at a 90-degree angle, as it moves in a circle around the array of floating cubes. Players may drag to stop the movement and view the platforms from any angle, but upon removing their finger from the screen, the view goes back to the default (orbiting, isometric camera). All exploration of the 3D space is smooth and effortless, allowing very fast or very slow movement.

Requiring considerable strategic thinking and spatial visualization at its higher levels, Turn 'N' Run HD provides hours of stimulating, graphically advanced, interactive 3D gameplay.

"Simply swipe the screen to rotate the environment, and link up seemingly distant blocks in order to create a path," advised Nikolay Verevkin of MaxNick. "Climb, ascend, and hop from one block to another on your way back to your rocket."

Language Support:
* English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S, iPod touch (3rd/4th generation), and iPad 1/2/3

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Angry Chicken Inc. announces Photo Notes Pro 3.0.1, an update to their top-rated iOS photography app. From simple text on a photo to creating gorgeous collages, Photo Notes creations can be shared socially or printed on a physical postcard or even an iPhone case. Perfect for business or fun, the update to the caption and collage app focuses on a stylish redesign and an intuitive user experience, with a multiple page feature, a new favorites option, and context aware popup help.

Stratford, Connecticut - The stylish redesign of top-rated iPhone photography app Photo Notes in the latest iOS update, demonstrates Angry Chicken Software's commitment to user experience.

The redesign focuses on a seamless flow of user interaction with controls that appear when they are needed, and slide away when they aren't. The user interface is now more consistent with iOS design principals leading to a more intuitive experience.

* Shortcuts for adding text shapes, adding collage shapes, adding clipart and changing colors
* Dozens of custom fonts
* Context aware popup help. There when you need it, not there when you don't

"Now more than ever, users want an app that looks great, is easy to use, and - above all - does what they expect it to," says Colin Phillips, founder and developer of Angry Chicken Software. "The new version of Photo Notes is by far the best photo captioning app on the App Store. Our beta testers have been raving about the new design. It's working on so many levels."

'Favorites' Improves Consistency And Speed:
The new 'favorites' feature makes creating a Photo Note faster. It also makes it easier to create a consistent looks for business, or for fun. Photo Notes version 3.0.1 adds even more convenience to Photo Note creation. Just tap the "add to favorites" star to remember your design for next time. Select your saved favorite to recall it when starting a new Photo Note.

Additionally, Angry Chicken developers have embedded color "memory" in the custom color tool to make it faster and easier to match text, background, and border colors.

Help Screen Integration:
The shift to pop-up help screens in Photo Notes 3.0.1 keeps users up-to-speed on new features while refreshing them on the design flexibility and depth of features available to them.

"Photo Notes has so much to offer, from simple text on a photo to creating gorgeous collages," Phillips says. "And all of it can be shared socially or printed on a physical postcard or even an iPhone case. I get excited when I think about how easily users can discover how powerful this app is!"

Now free users who want to upgrade to the features of Photo Notes Pro can buy the all three upgrade options within the app at a discounted price, or pick and choose: Save to Favorites, Multiple Pages, and Lose the Ads.

Better Design Based On User Needs:
The Photo Notes redesign is a result of market feedback, careful research of competition and iOS changes. Angry Chicken's founder says the key to Photo Notes success has always been a focus on user experience.

"We really listen to our beta testers and our users," Phillips says. "We take their feedback - in their reviews and emails - and we use that information to rethink the way our apps work."

Trinity War 1.1.0 for iOS: World War II Puzzle Sim, Build Strongest Army - Published on 09/18/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TopGameFree Ltd. today introduces Trinity War 1.1.0 for iOS, their new game simulating a World War II battlefield. Players become army generals and command their troops of Allied forces in the fight against the Nazis. The game features World War II style graphics, various branches of military and combat units, soldiers, Jeeps, and more. Players attempt to grow their army as large as possible until the game ends when the board has been filled.

Beijing, China - TopGameFree Ltd. today is pleased to introduce Trinity War 1.1.0 for iOS, their new game simulating a World War II battlefield. Players become army generals and command their troops of Allied forces in the fight against the Nazis. The game features World War II style graphics, various branches of military and combat units, soldiers, Jeeps, and more. Players attempt to grow their army as large as possible until the game ends when the board has been filled.

Feature Highlights:
* 10 different combinable roles
* World War II Style graphics
* Props intensify combination efficiency and game experience
* Purchase props in store with coins earned in play
* Buy extra coins in store
* Click and drag modes available
* Play with Game Center

Players will find themselves strategizing like army generals in Trinity War, the new sim/puzzle game from TopGameFree Ltd. The board consists of some open spaces as well as land that may be filled with Marines, soldiers, Jeeps, and many other props. When three marines are placed near one another by the player, they become a rocket soldier. Similarly, three rocket soldiers become a Jeep, and three Jeeps form an even higher scoring object. The goal of the game is to fill the board up with the highest scoring objects possible.

Among the objects that come up on the bottom of the screen for the player to place are Nazi soldiers. These soldiers must move through any empty land still available. They add a challenge to the game by blocking positions, e.g., one may occupy the spot near two Marines where the player may want to place a third Marine in a combination. However, if there is no movement possible, the Nazis become a grave. Three of these graves create an even larger, higher scoring tombstone. When this happens, new space is freed on the board. The Nazis may also be turned into graves if the player receives a rocket bomb and places it on top of one of the offending soldiers.

As the game continues, players build up a score depending on what types of objects are on the board. The score is shown in the middle at the top of the screen. On the left side of this score, the number of gold coins is shown. The player gains more money as he or she makes good moves in the game, and may use this currency to purchase certain specific props in the store for more points. In the upper right hand corner the number of moves left in the game can be seen.

The upper left hand corner of the screen holds a button that will take players back to the menu of the game. Here, they can resume, renew, view the instructions, or change the mode of the game. The game may be played in "Click" mode, in which the player simply clicks on an open space to place a prop, or "Drag" mode, where the player must drag the next prop from the bottom of the screen to the desired space.

The sound option on the game may be on or off, and Trinity War may be played via Game Center, so that friends can compete with one another and compare their scores in this puzzling and exciting war strategy game.

"Test your war strategy skills in this thrilling puzzle game as you build up an army to fight the Nazis," says Shi YanZheng of TopGameFree Ltd.

* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
