Shove Pro Arrives, Delivers Chase Scene Shoving to iPads and iPhones - Published on 11/08/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie game developers Rad Dragon today released their iOS game Shove Pro 1.0.1, a collaboration with fictional Hollywood stuntman Lars Speedwagon in honor of his impact on the action movie chase scene. In Shove Pro, players control Lars Speedwagon as he stars in procedurally generated action movies. An inversion of the infinite-run genre, the gameplay lets players use comedic ragdoll physics to shove innocent bystanders into the goons pursuing them.

Los Angeles, California - Indie game developers Rad Dragon today is pleased to announce their iOS game Shove Pro, a collaboration with fictional Hollywood stuntman Lars Speedwagon in honor of his impact on the action movie chase scene. Shove Pro follows the golden years of Speedwagon's career in 1980s Europe, during which he innovated the technique of unnecessarily shoving over bystanders during foot chase scenes.

Last month, Rad Dragon revealed their game by releasing a fake documentary featuring live action footage from some of Lars Speedwagon's greatest shoves. The mockumentary, featuring cameos from real game designers such as Richard Lemarchand (Uncharted series), Asher Vollmer (Puzzlejuice), and Jamie Antonisse (pOnd), received positive coverage from games press including Kotaku, Eurogamer, Destructoid, and Kill Screen.

In Shove Pro, players control Lars Speedwagon as he stars in procedurally generated action movies. The gameplay, an inversion of the infinite-run genre, lets players use comedic ragdoll physics to shove innocent bystanders into the goons pursuing them.

The Rad Dragon duo began Shove Pro after E3 2012, where they demoed The Moonlighters, their in-progress game (and Diefenbach's Masters thesis), at the IndieCade showcase. They soon realized that the ensuing publisher negotiations over The Moonlighters could take months - enough time to start and finish an entire new game. So they did that.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 47.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Shove Pro 1.0.1 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Sennott and Diefenbach wrote Masters theses on game narrative and game narrative systems design. The duo have 8 years of combined industry experience, and self-funded Rad Dragon in order to make games that innovate new ways of storytelling and redefine what the medium can do, while remaining are punchy, entertaining, and fun.

Pixelmator Adds New Color Management with Soft Proofing - Published on 11/08/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Pixelmator Team today released Pixelmator 2.1.3, a significant update to its beautifully designed, easy-to-use yet powerful image editing application developed exclusively for Mac OS X. Pixelmator provides everything needed to create, edit, and enhance still images. Version 2.1.3 introduces an entirely new and simplified Color Management tool and Soft Proofing feature, enhanced PSD file format support, improved Automator actions, new languages added and much more.

London, United Kingdom - The Pixelmator Team today released Pixelmator 2.1.3, a significant update to its beautifully designed, easy-to-use yet powerful image editing application, featuring an entirely new and simplified Color Management tool and a Soft Proofing feature. The new Color Management tool has been redesigned to keep image colors perfectly consistent throughout all devices.

The brand new Soft Proofing feature comes in really handy for controlling image colors more precisely. It lets you quickly and easily apply different color profiles to images so you can get an idea of how the final outcome, such as the printed image, might look. This is great news for anyone willing to preview images in CMYK colors.

The full sRGB standard support makes all image colors inside Pixelmator look better as well. The sRGB color standard is widely used on most devices that we come across every day, such as digital cameras, scanners, or even the new iPhone. This means that the colors of images edited in Pixelmator will look absolutely perfect outside Pixelmator and across all Apple devices.

Additional features include the new Color Management look, enhanced PSD file format support, improved Automator actions, Spanish and Italian languages added, and much more.

Pricing and Availability:
Pixelmator 2.1.3 is available from the Mac App Store at a promotional price of $29.99 (USD). For existing Pixelmator customers who purchased the app from the Mac App Store, the new update is free.

Award-Winning ReturnGuru puts Receipt Management at Users' Fingertips - Published on 11/08/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland based ReturnGuru Inc. today announces returnGuru Free 2.0, an update to their popular award-winning productivity application developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. returnGuru lets users take a photo of their receipt and then automatically send timely notifications when the store's exchange or return deadline is approaching. The latest version lets the users browse and review the return policies for all major retailers in US and Canada and more.

Cupertino, California - Shoppers who are fed up with missing exchange or return deadlines, or are frustrated at losing their original receipts when they want to take an item back to the store, can now download the award-winning free app ReturnGuru and permanently put their worries to rest.

The latest version of the App also lets the users browse and review the return policies for all major retailers in US and Canada from within the App, a useful feature given the complex and changing return policies during the upcoming holiday season. Also, for every receipt that is tracked by returnGuru, the entire return policy for that store is readily available through a click of a button.

ReturnGuru, winner of both the TiE Oregon PitchFest and the Portland Startup Weekend, respectively, is a remarkable app that lets iPhone, iPad or iPod touch users take a photo of their original receipt. ReturnGuru then processes the receipt's data, applies the store's return policy, and sends the users friendly, timely reminders to let them know that the exchange or return deadline is approaching. And for online purchases, users simply forward their e-receipt via email from their registered email address, and ReturnGuru takes care of the rest.

"People can lose hundreds or even thousands of dollars when they either miss a store's exchange or return deadline, or when they lose their original receipt," commented Balki Kodarapu of ReturnGuru Inc. "Fortunately, ReturnGuru solves that problem in a simple and sophisticated way. ReturnGuru is like having a personal Receipt Manager on your mobile device 24 hours a day!"

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

Pricing and Availability:
ReturnGuru, which has been described by users as "easy to use" and a solution that allows them to "never have to worry about carrying original receipts", is available now for Free on iTunes.

ReturnGuru was conceived when founder Balki walked into his garage one day. He saw a pair of shoes lying in a corner that his wife never wore. He then thought of 100s of other items stashed all over the house that their family never got to use. So a bulb went off in his head and he created returnGuru over that weekend with the help of a bunch of friends at Startup Weekend Portland. Since then, returnGuru has won multiple startup competitions, was featured in many national publications From the day it was created, returnGuru's sole mission has been to help Americans organize their receipts/returns to save a ton of money!

Focus Point also features Zero-setup; it uses the built-in Photo Library and displays all albums on any generation of iPad. This allows users to use the app without having to do any additional importing of photos.

Vancouver, Canada - A new photo browsing app available for the new iPad and iPad Mini enhances the way we look at and show our photos to others. Until now, iPad photo browsers have displayed tiny thumbnails that don't lend to a great viewing experience. Sarofax is announcing Focus Point, the first App to provide zoomable photo thumbnails.

With Focus Point, viewers can easily pinch in or out to choose any size thumbnail. The app also includes titles with thumbnails. These new features provide a delightful, natural, and effective way to browse photos.

For the 1.0 release, the app also features Zero-setup - it uses the built-in Photo Library (synced through iTunes) and displays all albums on any generation of iPad. This allows users to use the app without having to do any additional importing of photos. The app also supports iOS Photo Stream and Camera Roll.

In the full-screen mode, a dedicated metadata panel features 3 sections displaying photographic information such as titles and captions, geographic location, the camera settings used to take the photo, and details such as the photo's dimensions and aspect ratio.

Additionally, a unique search feature filters photos by keywords. For example, typing "Italy" into the search bar would return a selection of photos with titles or keywords matching.

Focus Point provides a beautiful minimalist design, with useful features through the use of gestures - from manual slideshow controls that allow swiping back and forth, to the ability to edit captions and titles with dictation.

"We designed this for ourselves as photographers, and with a dedicated team working over 18 months. The attention to detail, quality and reliability will quickly make this a must have in a photographer's toolset" - Ash Mishra, CEO of Sarofax.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 16.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Focus Point 1.0 is offered at the introductory low price of $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category. From photo enthusiasts to pros, everyone will love this app. Get yours today and discover a new way to focus on your photos using your iPad or iPad Mini.
