LineUp, an iOS App For New Phone Numbers, Offers VoIP and Texting - Published on 09/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FathomWorks LLC announces the release of a major update to its iOS app, LineUp. LineUp lets users buy and use any number of regular or toll-free US phone numbers for calling, voicemail, and now texting. LineUp protects your personal phone number when using it on the internet, on resumes, or wherever else you want. LineUp also offers a VoIP option, which allows users to to dial out and receive calls with any of their numbers using just the data or internet connection on any iOS-capable device.

San Francisco, California - FathomWorks LLC is pleased to announce the release of a major update to its first iOS app, LineUp. LineUp lets users buy and use any number of regular or toll-free US phone numbers for calling, voicemail, and now texting as well. Most notably, users have the option of using an internet or data connection to make VoIP calls, meaning calls can be made from an iPod touch or iPad, or without using minutes from the user's cellphone plan. Lines are must be renewed monthly but calls and texts roll over month-to-month until used.

LineUp is perfect for staying anonymous when posting to online forums, such as Craigslist, for online dating, for fending off recruiters (put a new number on your resume), and for running a new business from your iPhone. LineUp offers a privacy barrier that you can use however you want, and that you can instantly erase whenever you need. Plus, because LineUp offers a VoIP option, it can be used by anyone around the world who wants or needs a US-based phone number. Finally, LineUp lets you search by area code or pattern, meaning you can get whatever phone number you want, wherever you want.

Since launch, some users have used their line only once before getting rid of it, while others have already prepaid for the next year and use their lines multiple times daily. There are no contracts and you can get rid of the line whenever you want, or keep it as long as you need. If you do get rid of a line, your leftover minutes and texts stay on your account so you can use them with any other lines you have or may buy.

LineUp was first released at the end of July 2012, but without texting features. Almost immediately, LineUp was downloaded and enjoyed daily sales. Since the release of the texting features, downloads have doubled and continue to rise. Interestingly, the much maligned iOS 6 App Store update has actually benefited LineUp, and downloads continuing to rise despite those reported issues.

Since its release, LineUp has connected 1500 calls and, in just the last week, has processed over 440 texts for over 150 daily active users.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 3.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
LineUp App 1.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Local lines start at $2.99 per month and include 20 free texts to start. Minutes and additional texts are purchased separately and cost $11.99 for 200 minutes, and $1.99 for 100 texts.

SOAS revolves around a thief named Jack who is on an industrial espionage mission to steal the blueprints of a new product. At the office complex, he discovers much more to the place than originally meets the eye.

As an indie developer, I want to create a game that is worthy of all the support I've received thus far. I've decided to postpone the release in order to fully achieve my goal of creating an intense and scary game," says Ferzan K. Aygen, CEO of Vivec Entertainment.

Speed Kittens, hot-shot kittens crashing into each other on jet packs - Published on 09/28/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

grey may LLC today announced the upcoming release of Speed Kittens, the company's debut action game developed for iOS devices. Speed Kittens focuses on your reflexes, quick thinking, and aiming. Zeppelins that are carrying milk will try their hardest to get to the other side of the screen, and your job is to crash kittens into them and spoil their plans. Speed Kittens promises detailed animations, beautiful moving backgrounds, game center support and more. Available worldwide on October 4th.

Prescott, Arizona - grey may LLC is launching Speed Kittens worldwide on October 4th. iPhone(R) (3GS or newer) and iPod touch(R) (3rd generation or newer) owners will be able to get Speed Kittens for $0.99 on the App Store(SM).

Speed Kittens is an action game that focuses on your reflexes, quick thinking, and aiming. You are in control of a squad of kittens ranging from adorable to hot-shot, and if you have ever seen a kitten on a jet pack you've probably noticed how clueless they can be when it comes to ace fighter pilot aviation. Luckily, they have you! Zeppelins that are carrying milk will try their hardest to get to the other side of the screen, and your job is to crash kittens into them and spoil their plans! (Just don't spoil the milk. The kittens won't like that.)

A typical scene in Speed Kittens will have kittens flying around aimlessly or free-falling, with zeppelins speeding by. Uh-oh! A zeppelin is getting close to escaping! Quickly you tap and hold onto a kitten. Next, while still holding, you use your cat-like reflexes to dodge two other careless kittens about to crash into your feline ace. You have the shot now, you make a long swipe towards the zeppelin and release, launching the kitten. Nice shot! Thanks to your sniper aim another bottle of milk is saved.

Speed Kittens features:
* Detailed animations bring the game to life
* Beautiful moving backgrounds
* Random gameplay elements; every time you play, something will be different
* Fast-paced gameplay. Get ready for a rush
* Lovable characters
* Unlockable Kittens! Anything from a Ninja Big Cat to an R Lion with aviator sunglasses
* Practice Mode, Realistic Physics, Power Ups, Game Center, Achievements, and much more

When the programmer, Marcus Schwab, was asked about the development process of Speed Kittens he simply said "Meow!" Now that is the sign of a guy that is dedicated to his game (and possibly a little crazy.)

Pricing and Availability:
Speed Kittens will be available for $0.99 (USD) on the App Store on October 4th 2012. If you are a reviewer and would like a promo code, would like to interview with the programmer or designer or just have questions, please email Christopher Schwab.

The Humans VS Vampires app builds on the success of the award-winning 3D online game of the same name, which at more than 6.5 million views and counting, is the number one most-played web game on TELETOON's TV network website. As a result of this high demand, the game was quickly rebuilt for mobile using the same in-depth game design and mechanics. As a result, the app is a rich experience, featuring addictive level progressions, challenging game play modes and high-poly 3D characters modeled and animated to look and move the way the show's stars do.

"Humans VS Vampires goes far beyond the typical properties," says Secret Location Executive Producer James Milward. "It provides a rich gaming experience scaled down to a mobile format that works."

Nicholas Dale, Senior Manager of Mobile & Interactive for brand licensor FME, added, "We are very excited to partner with The Secret Location to bring the Humans VS Vampires game to devoted My Babysitter's a Vampire fans. Viewers are craving additional interactive content on mobile devices so we are continuously dedicated to offering more immersive experiences to keep them engaged."

The new Humans VS Vampires app is jam-packed with photorealistic, high-end graphics, fear-inducing opponents and five levels to beat. Humans VS Vampires is a sophisticated gaming experience, breaking from the usual "vamp yourself" apps in this genre.

Inspired by retro arcade games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, Humans VS Vampires delivers a classic hand-to-hand combat experience, without deferring to the 8-bit look. With slick graphics, and added features such as cryptic clues and badges, the game feels modern and challenges the user to keep playing. Missions take on increasing difficulty as players fight the easiest opponent to the strongest - human or vampire - depending on which side is chosen.

Humans VS Vampires is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. A one-time 99-cent in-app upgrade allows players to unlock 10 characters - five good guys and five undead characters.

The game was developed for TELETOON and Fresh TV by Secret Location with support from the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund. Fans can download the app today and unlock the first of two special characters - Boltz: a Frankenstein jock made-up of star hockey player body parts.

Game Description:
In this badge system game, the user can play as either a human or a vampire, using over 30 battle moves to defy their opponent, including three special moves unique to each character. Players battle their way through five levels and five different opponents, with rivals getting increasingly more difficult to beat as the game progresses. The user's main goals are to beat Arcade Mode in Easy, Medium and finally Difficult, and win for their side, while racking up badges that get pasted up onto their virtual school locker.

Feature Highlights:
* Over 30 battle moves, including three flashy special moves, like the Principal's Zombie Breath - very nasty - Erica's Bats and Benny's baffling Teleport
* Five different backgrounds; day and night in the 'burbs, at school, outside the cinema, and a creepy graveyard
* Five levels; they get increasingly difficult as players fight the easiest opponent, right down to the strongest Human (Ethan) or Vampire (Jesse), depending on which side you choose
* Unlock all five good guys and five undead characters with a one-time ULTRA in-app purchase
* Unlock all badges with Ultra, too; like the Fang-Tastic Badge, scored by playing a perfect round without getting hit once
* Decode cryptic clues to get tipped off on how to earn badges, Fang-Tastic's clue = Scars might look cool in the movies, but let's face it, it's better not to get scratched at all
