b-lock iPhone Case Allows Parents to Block Access to iPhone Home Button - Published on 11/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Father invents groundbreaking case to provide peace of mind for iPhone-using parents. Toddler Lock Designs today announced the immediate availability of The b-lock Case for iPhone. Designed to allow youngsters to play games and view pictures on an iPhone without risk of accidentally leaving their chosen app, The b-lock Case offers parents a convenient way to quickly block the iPhone's Home button at any time. Built from high-quality polycarbonate and available in a variety of colours.

Adelaide, Australia - Toddler Lock Designs today announced the immediate availability of The b-lock Case for iPhone. Designed to allow youngsters to play games and view pictures on an iPhone without risk of accidentally leaving their chosen app, The b-lock Case offers parents a convenient way to quickly block the iPhone's Home button at any time.

Built from high-quality polycarbonate and available in a variety of colours, The b-lock Case features a convenient Home Button Guard that is quickly detached from the rear of the case and placed over the iPhone's Home button to completely disable it when the phone is being used by a child.

Following the huge success of The Toddler Lock App, a free download from the iTunes App Store that allows children to view pictures and videos on an iPhone without being able to zoom or delete, The b-lock Case takes security one step further. When used in conjunction with The Toddler Lock App, parents can be safe in the knowledge that their child can't accidentally quit the app and gain access to the Home screen where accidental taps can mean deleted apps, changes to settings and unplanned phone calls.

A recent survey commissioned by Qualcomm found that 53% of parents use a mobile device to calm their children. The b-lock Case allows those parents to do so without fear.

"I came up with the idea because my two year old daughter kept wanting to play with my phone and look at the pictures," said Matthew Parry, Toddler Lock Designs' CEO. "She didn't understand how to swipe and was annoyed that she kept zooming in, so it was frustrating for her and for me because I had to watch over her to make sure she didn't delete things."

As well as being ideal for parents, The b-lock Case is an iPhone cover in its own right, offering the same durability and style expected from an iPhone accessory. Working just like a traditional case when the Home Button Guard is not in use, The b-lock Case can be kept on at all times, negating the requirement for users to constantly switch covers.

The b-lock Case is also ideal for app demonstrations, classrooms and trade shows to ensure that those using the iPhone can only access the app that is currently running.

Device Requirements for The Toddler Lock App 1.0:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 14.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
The Toddler Lock App 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. The b-lock Case is available now for $14.99 USD plus $4.00 postage at website in white or black varieties. An additional pack of three spare Home Button Guards can also be purchased in black or white at a cost of $8.00.

Minsk, Belarus - Melesta Games is pleased to announce the long-expected update to its popular game Zuba!, developed for iOS devices.

Compared to the previous version of the app, character customization has undergone massive changes. Users can choose from a wide variety of accessories available in the store and change the look of Zuba as they proceed with the game. Each accessory has its own unique set of characteristics which increase the duration of invisibility, magnet and reduces energy expenditure.

Integration with Facebook helps users to stay in touch with friends while playing. Players can invite any of their friends to join the game and compete against each other, send and receive energy gifts, share screenshots with their customized Zuba. Rating system keeps track of the player's positions. Every time the user improves, a special notification is shown and player is awarded a bonus of 100 stars.

In addition to all the effects, we realized users don't want to be limited to 15 second clips, our editor allows users to create scenes as long as they need them to be. Users can even create layered effects with exported video, allowing for incredible creativity within the app. When users are done creating their movies in Cinefy, they can export them into more robust editors like iMovie, or simply share the videos with their friends to create the perfect Hollywood experience."

Launching worldwide today, Cinefy includes some impressive effects created by Hollywood industry veterans.

"Have your friends be chased by a T-Rex, duck to avoid incoming missile fire from an attack helicopter, run from the loch Ness monster, even pilot your own starship" says Hellerman. "The possibilities are endless. The ability to construct the movies of your dreams, with a device that fits in the palm of your hands is incredible. Just from our limited release and early beta tests, we received some incredible videos. My jaw dropped at the creativity some of our users showed. One of my favorite parts was seeing users combine effects from our competition alongside Cinefy's effects. The video was astounding, and it was a great example of the flexibility Cinefy provides."

To see all the effects, download a copy of Cinefy today for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Can You Escape Big Daddy in Jewel Jumper for iPhone and iPad?! - Published on 11/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Neon Play, developers of hits like Traffic Panic and Paper Glider, introduce Jewel Jumper 1.2 for iOS, an energetic game of chase. Big Daddy is a giant purple monster who has imprisoned Spike and his friends, but hope is not lost. With a stick of dynamite Spike breaks free and begins his mission across 100 levels to save all his friends. Playing as Spike gamers must carefully manoeuvre their way through the mission, all while being chased by the monster.

Cirencester, United Kingdom - Neon Play, developers of hits like Traffic Panic and Paper Glider are back with another fun title. Jewel Jumper 1.2 for iOS is an energetic game of chase, can you avoid the clutches of the fierce and terrifying Big Daddy?

The game begins with a short cartoon introduction to the story. You play as Spike, a little red dragon who must help his friends escape Big Daddy. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away. A roar ripped through the Sky Kingdom. The time had come for a brave new hero.

The game then explodes straight into the action, with a short tutorial giving a taste of things to come including upgrades that will help you on your way.

Each of the 100 levels has one of Spike's friends trapped. Playing as Spike you must carefully manoeuvre your way through the mission, all while being chased by the monster, Big Daddy. When you make it to the end you jump over a castle wall and save your friend, don't worry it is too strong for Big Daddy to destroy.

The levels work in a side scrolling style, with a destructive Big Daddy trying to catch up. Each level gets progressively more and more taxing as obstacles are introduced, including mud, spikes, bolts of electricity (ouch!) and killer mines. Each obstacle slows Spike down, allowing Big Daddy to catch up as he tries to smash you off course.

Throughout the levels jewels can be collected, and lost if you jump on a set of spikes. Jewels can be spent on continues, should Big Daddy catch you. Alternatively you can spend them on upgrades or costumes. There are seven different upgrades, each with six level ups. Upgrades can really help in later missions, for example level one armor boots will protect you from mud, whereas level two will protect from mud and spikes!

Costumes are not just an opportunity to dress Spike up in a variety of cool outfits, they also act as a bonus, giving you extra jewels for looking the part...there is even a mankini, very nice!

Socially, Jewel Jumper has a lot to offer with Facebook, Twitter and Game Center integration. Facebook likes and Twitter follows unlock fun extras for Spike to wear in the game, with a trendy pair of Twitter branded sunglasses and a cool Facebook baseball cap.

Game Center has 450 points up for grabs in 100 quests and missions, including 'Co-roar-dinated' where you have to survive Big Daddy for 5 minutes and 'Psychedelic' if you manage to hit 25 mushrooms.

Only the most budding and brave will make it over the Happy Hills, through the Mushroom Forest, into the Golden Desert, past the Crystal Peaks to the Sky Castle. But for those who do, Jewel Jumper is certainly a game that will keep you entertained.

Padgram 2.6 for iPad-Top Instagram Viewer Creates Eye-Catching Shoutouts - Published on 11/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pinssible Labs today announces Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 2.6, a major update to its app, which has become the preferred Instagram viewer for iPad. Unlike other viewers, Padgram offers fast and simple tagging, browsing, and interaction with other users for a better social experience. The update makes giving or requesting eye-catching, spam-free Shoutouts easy with a new Promote button, which generates a layered collage of the user's most liked photos, ready for posting to Instagram.

Wuhan, China - Pinssible Labs today is pleased to announce Padgram - Instagram Viewer for iPad 2.6, a major update to its photo app, which has become the preferred Instagram viewer for iPad. Listed in the Top 25 Photo & Video apps in the U.S. App Store, Padgram offers fast and simple tagging, browsing, and interaction with other users for a better social experience. The update makes giving or requesting eye-catching, spam-free Shoutouts easy with a new Promote button, which generates a beautiful collage based on the user's most liked photos, ready for posting to Instagram.

An Instagram Shoutout gives a user an opportunity for self or cross promotion, asking others to recommend that their followers should begin following the user or other Instagram member. Typically, users take a photo of a profile on Instagram, posting it with a Shoutout hashtag. Far from ideal, this low-tech solution can at best be ineffective, and at worst be seen as spam.

The new Promote button in Padgram 2.6 selects six random photos a member has posted, and it creates a visually pleasing collage. There are three photos in the top row and three in the bottom row, and each photo is tilted slightly, each overlapping two adjacent photos just a bit. This sophisticated design presents a sampling of the member's tastes and interests, and serves as a stylish image that is ideal for giving or requesting a Shoutout.

Padgram Feature Highlights-
Explore Interesting Photos:
* Browse popular photos and the photos you followed or liked
* Browse in a Map View, check out photos around the world
* New Swiping Mode is enabled when viewing photos in full size, allowing users to easily swipe from one photo to another
* Search by tag or user name; contextual suggestions are given as you type
* Subscribe to any tag you are interested in

Vivid Liking and Commenting
* 1-tap or 2-tap to like photos

Padgram 2.6 augments the social experience of Instagram viewing on the iPad. The user is presented with a grid of photos in whichever group he or she searches, whether it be Followed, Subscriptions, Likes, or Popular photos. The grid uses the entirety of the iPad's large screen, allowing for clear and vivid shots of each picture sized reasonably. To view just one picture, the user simply taps on the desired photo. A screen will then slide over, showing the photo's description, comments, and likes.

Here, the user is able to comment with just one tap on the "Add Comments" space. Along with the keyboard, Padgram also offers easy symbol use, so the user does not have to switch keyboards to add a common "at" symbol, hashtag, emoticon, etc. While a custom hashtag symbol on its own is available, the app also offers suggestions for popular tags.

Padgram's Searched feature is especially advanced in its suggestion technology. The app retains the user's searches, so that a user returning for the same search does not have to retype. The search feature also offers intelligent suggestions for user names or tags as users type, so they may choose one with just one simple click.

Sharing photos is easy with Padgram; it allows users to save and send pictures to email as well as the popular social networking sites Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Pocket, and Sina Weibo. The user's favorite pictures can be easily printed and sent as postcards.

"We are always working hard to improve on our success with Padgram," commented Paul Yan of Pinssible. "We think our new Promote function for creating Shoutout collages will be appreciated by all our current and future users."

Let's Bowl 2: Bowling with Friends Free for iOS - Realistic Bowling Sim - Published on 11/21/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SideBump Studios today announces Let's Bowl 2: Bowling with Friends 2.1 now free for iOS, its super-realistic bowling sim for one to four players. Featuring highly accurate game physics, ball speed, release, and hook are all user controlled, and pin action closely resembles actual bowling. The app offers single-,multi-, or multi-player online gameplay, plus Game Center Auto-Match. With 34 different balls and a choice of 9 alleys, bowlers of every age will be watching the outcome of every throw.

Austin, Texas - SideBump Studios today is pleased to announce Let's Bowl 2: Bowling with Friends 2.1 available free for iOS, its super-realistic bowling sim for one to four players. Featuring highly accurate game physics, ball speed, release, and hook are all user controlled, and pin action closely resembles actual bowling. The app offers single-,multi-, or multi-player online gameplay, plus Game Center Auto-Match. With 34 different balls and a choice of 9 alleys, bowlers of every age will be fascinated, anticipating the outcome of every throw.

Let's Bowl 2 is one of the best free bowling games around, featuring simple and precise controls that are fun and easy to learn, and which provide increasing challenges as players master different levels of alleys. Players earn bowling bucks for every point they score and every strike or spare they make, then use them to buy stuff in the ProShop, including 9 different alleys, and 34 different balls; all with their own unique attributes and weight for scoring.

Feature Highlights:
* Stunning 3D graphics
* State of the art 3D physics
* New online multiplayer up to 4 people
* New Single device, pass and play multiplayer up to 4 people
* Play with friends or match-make instantly with a random opponent
* Online Leaderboards and Game Center Achievements
* New weight dynamics to each ball for better effects
* New Stat Screen: Track High Scores, Total Points, Average Score, & more
* Facebook, Twitter, and in-game messaging so you can talk to your friends about your high scores
* Brand new User Interface

With flawless 3D animation and graphics, players view the ball from an angle slightly above and behind. As the ball rolls down the lane, the view camera follows it, always maintaining a constant distance of about two feet. The camera stops about eight feet from the pins, allowing players to view the action close-up from a stationary camera. Bowlers can easily control the speed of the ball, so that it takes between 2 and 5 seconds to reach the pins. Players throw by drawing a line from the ball toward the pins, and when they lift their finger from the screen, their throw is executed. Drawing a short line produces a high velocity, while a long line produces a lower speed.

Bowlers can line up their shot by moving the ball to any point behind the foul line, from the extreme left to the extreme right. While traveling, players can hook their shot by dragging left or right, with the amount of hook dependent on the length of the drag and the speed of the ball. Players will discover that they can achieve an extreme hook easily.

Let's Bowl 2 achieves its remarkable level of realism thanks to careful design and the latest, 3D game physics engine. Unlike other bowling games, players will never see the 10 pins exhibit any behavior that does not look like the real thing. Good pin carry is the key to high scores, and this app simulates the complex collisions between pins with uncanny realism. Pins hit hard fly upward simultaneously, and pins hit by a slow moving ball are simply knocked over. Watching pin movement closely reveals that each is capable of movement in all three axes, and that a toppled pin can spin in place, either lengthwise or around its center. Grazed pins may wobble in place, and skillful players can pick up a 7-10 split as they send one pin flying to the other side of the lane. Completing the illusion are the dozens of different sounds heard at just the right time to perfectly match the behavior of single and multiple pins.

"This free bowling game is suited for kids, boys, girls, men and women of all ages. Whether you are a PBA professional, bowl with a league, or simply enjoy a good game of 10 pin, this is the game for you," commented Kelly Beener of SideBump Studios. "It's your mobile bowling alley in your pocket, just let your finger flick your way to a perfect game! Play whenever and wherever! Now, get your bowl on!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 32.6 MB
