Fun and Addictive New App Smart Aliens Takes Hangman into Outer Space - Published on 11/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A delightful new game app, Smart Aliens 1.0 for iOS from Lele Studio and Etamin Studio blends interaction, head-to-head gameplay, fabulous animation, zany sound effects and endless hours of hilarious fun. Gameplay is based on the traditional hangman concept, where gamers guess one letter at a time in the hopes of revealing a pre-set word. This ultra-modern, space age spin on classic hangman designed for iPhone and iPad, can be played against either a Facebook friend or random player.

Cupertino, California - Gamers who want to play the first hangman in outer space and become the smartest alien the galaxy can now download the hilarious, addictive and fun new game Smart Aliens.

Designed for iPhone and iPad by the fun-loving app wizards at LeLe Studio and Etamin Studio, Smart Aliens can be played against either a Facebook friend or random player. Gameplay is based on the traditional hangman concept, where gamers guess one letter at a time in the hopes of revealing a pre-set word. Smart or lucky guesses are rewarded with continued play and eventual victory, while five bad or unlucky guesses lead to humiliating - though hilarious - defeat.

Other fun Smart Aliens features include:
* Challenge a Facebook friend in a turn-by-turn game
* Play against 3 other aliens in real-time! (Warning: Super Addictive!)
* Trap your opponents with lightning, the psycho keyboard or kidnapping (or alien-napping)
* Upgrade an alien with super powers to reveal letters at the beginning of a round, block lightning or come back to life
* Earn coins and buy aliens, traps, medikits and super powers

And along the way, whether they're winning or losing, trapping or being trapped, gamers will enjoy fabulous animation, zany sound effects, and a rapid and responsive interface that's fun and easy to use.

"There are plenty of things in life to be serious about, and it can be hard to find ways to relax, smile and have fun," commented Michael Chaize co-founder of Lele Studio. "And that's why we created Smart Aliens! It's a truly hilarious experience, and adds a great social sharing aspect to the classic hangman game experience. It's perfect for gamers of all ages, and a great way to have fun for hour after hour."

Incredible Maze's Adventures is Beginning... - Published on 11/16/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Five Cubed announces Fatty Maze's Adventures 1.1.2 for iOS, a game that takes players into the world of labyrinths. The app is a logic game based on a story that offers an entirely new outlook on mazes. The game was created both for adults and their kids. Mr. Fatty Maze is a tourist who found a treasure map and is on a journey to find it. His plane crashes, but the brave traveler survives. He wakes up to find himself in a giant maze that he must escape from to reach the treasure.

Little Rock, Arkansas - Five Cubed announces the Fatty Maze's Adventures 1.1.2 for iOS which can pull you into the world of labyrinths.

Mr. Fatty Maze's Adventures is a logic game based on a thrilling story that offers an entirely new outlook on mazes! The game was created both for adults and their kids!

The time will fly by unnoticed as soon as you hit the Play button. You will be intrigued, bewildered by the "shuffle" of the labyrinths, by the incomprehension of where you are now and of what is going on.

Mr. Fatty Maze is the main character, a tourist who found a treasure map and ventured on a journey to find it. On its way to an island marked on the map, his plane crashes, but the brave traveler survives. He wakes up to find himself in a giant maze that he must escape from to reach the treasure.

Your task will be to help the nice and unlucky character find a way out of this difficult situation by guiding him through the maze and, hopefully, taking him to the treasure chest. To do that, you will need all your concentration, logic, memory and patience. It's a long and treacherous journey through a labyrinth where you will need to find keys to exit doors. You will encounter all kinds of obstacles, such as stones, plants, rivers, portals, crates and much more. You will also need to find many items that will help you overcome these obstacles. Each labyrinth is a unique exciting puzzle where you can easily get lost.

However, if you find yourself in a dead end with no way out, you can always restart the game and try again. Sometimes even the weather will be a problem, making it hard for Mr. Fatty Maze to navigate through the maze in mist, during a blizzard, storm or night time.

Language Support:
English, Chinese, Russian

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
