Universal City, California - Choice Media introduces Choice Game 1.0.1 for iOS. Choice is about luck, intuition, patience and perseverance. The goal of the game is to choose the right path and objects in order to pass all obstacles to reach the Golden Gate.

At that particular moment, we cannot know. But later, we will surely understand how inspired we proved. We shall rejoice or we shall regret. This is not a thing to be trifled with. So each and every time you stand before an important decision, you have to choose carefully. Because once you've made your choice, there's no turning back!

"40" v.1.5 Free for iPad: Turn-Based, 2-4 Hand, Italian, Rummy Card Game - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Ferraioli Antonio today announces "40" v.1.5 free for iPad, an update to his top-rated app where players challenge 1, 2, or 3 virtual players to an exciting game of "40," the Italian card game derived from rummy. Each player receives 13 cards at the start, and the game uses 2 decks, a full red deck and a full blue deck of 52 cards plus 2 jokers each. "40" is a single-player game, with all additional hands played by the iPad, which can be set for Weak, Medium, or Strong gameplay.

Biella, Italy - Indie developer Ferraioli Antonio today is pleased to announce "40" v.1.5 free for iPad, an update to his top-rated app where players challenge 1, 2, or 3 virtual players to an exciting game of "40," the Italian card game derived from rummy. Each player receives 13 cards at the start, and the game uses 2 decks, a full red deck and a full blue deck of 52 cards plus 2 jokers each. "40" is a single-player game, with all additional hands played by the iPad, which can be set for Weak, Medium, or Strong gameplay. The game features animated deals, discards, draws, and plays with accurate accompanying sound effects.

Feature Highlights (some available only in fully enabled version):
* Retina-display compatible
* Two game modes available (Single Game and Score Mode)
* Configurable player strengths
* Configurable players count
* Configurable discarded cards usage variants
* Configurable score assignment variants
* Possible reenter with penalty for eliminated players (when in Score Mode)
* Configurable jokers usage
* Brief tutorial to learn the basic rules in three minutes
* Detailed help with all available rules and references to possible variants
* Resumable games
* Game Center Leaderboards
* Game Center Challenges

The object of the game is to be the first of all players to be left with no cards in their hand. South plays first, followed by West, North, and East. Players eliminate cards from their hand by building melds, which are displayed face-up in front of the player. A meld can be either a set or a run. In "40" a set is called a combination, and it consists of 3 or 4 cards of the same value, but different suits. A run is called a sequence, and it consists of 3 to 14 cards of the same suit in numerical order (A-2-3 and Q-K-A are both legal). The game takes its name from the minimum score required for gamers to play their first combination and/or sequence, which is 40 points.

Depending on the Game Mode, one or more matches will be played. During a match, players take turns, playing one-at-a-time moving clockwise. A player's turn begins by drawing a card from either the deck or the waste heap. If a player has yet to open, he or she must draw a card from the deck. If a player has opened with one or more melds, he or she can choose a card from the deck, or the face-up card on the discard pile.

During their turn, players can:
* Show/play a sequence of 3 or more cards
* Show/play a combination of 3 or 4 cards
* Attach/lay off one or more cards to any of the sequences and combinations on the table (if already opened)
* Take jokers from existing sequences and combinations by replacing the joker with the card for which it is a substitute (the taken joker must be played immediately)
* End their turn by throwing out a card to the discard pile (if their last card, they win)

"'40' has been in the Top 10 Card Games in the Italian App Store since its release on June 28, 2012," commented developer Ferraioli Antonio. "Now, it's time for the rest of the world to discover the many hours of pleasurable gameplay that can be had playing '40.'"

Language Support:
* English, French, and Italian

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 20.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
"40" v1.5 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

MicroAC for OS X - Streamlined, Batch Audio File Converter for 9 Formats - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Aaron Smith today announces MicroAC 1.1 for Mac OS X, an update to his streamlined audio application that enables batch conversion between 9 Core Audio compatible formats. Ideal for developers, audio engineers, and audiophiles, MicroAC is a GUI version of Apple's command line "afconvert" tool and comes with support for most of its input and output formats. Features include Drag and Drop, Concurrency Control, Queueing & Requeueing, Sample Rate, and Multi-Channel Capability.

San Francisco, California - Independent developer Aaron Smith today is proud to announce MicroAC 1.1 for Mac OS X, an update to his streamlined audio application, which enables batch conversion between nine Core Audio compatible formats. Ideal for developers, audio engineers, and audiophiles, MicroAC is a GUI version of Apple's command line "afconvert" tool and comes with support for most of its input and output formats. Features include Drag and Drop, Concurrency Control, Queueing & Requeueing, Sample Rate Selection, and Multi-Channel Compatibility.

Feature Highlights:
* Drag and Drop Files - batch drag and drop audio files and folders for conversion
* Concurrency Control - choose the number of conversions that are processed concurrently (1- 10)
* Queueing & Requeueing - add, delete, start, and restart conversion of files
* Sample Rate Selection - select 22,050 kHz or 44,100 kHz sampling rate
* Channels - convert single or multi-channel audio files (1 - 7)

MicroAC puts the operating controls, queued files list, queue options, output format drop-down menus, destination for converted files, and other options in a single, well-organized window. Once the user selects the Start Queue button, individual files in the queued files list can display one of three conditions: completed, processing, or waiting to be processed. A queue option allows users to automatically delete completed files from the list. The Requeue button lets users select a completed file to convert again to a secondary format. Also user selectable is the number of files in the batch that are processed concurrently (1 - 10).

One of the Output Format drop-down menus displays the nine types of audio files the app can convert from or to: 3GP Audio, 3GP-2 Audio, AIFC, AIFF, Apple MPEG-4 Audio, Apple MPEG-4 AudioBooks, CAF, MPEG-4 Audio, and WAVE. Another menu displays alternative file extensions, such as .aiff or .aif when converting to the AIFF format. The last menu lets users select the specific data format they would like to opt for given their choice of audio file format. Also user-selectable are sample rate (22,050 or 44,100 kHz) and the number of channels (1 - 7) in multi-channel audio files.

Formats Supported:

Alarm Clock Gear Free for iOS - Stylish, Surreal Alarm Clock with Games - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November29 Studio today introduces Alarm Clock Gear 1.0 free for iOS, its stylish alarm clock designed around a surreal, dream state motif. Wholly original, all displays and controls are soft spheres with small, nipple-like, gear teeth. Users can set their objet d'art alarm clock from an H/M/M-AM/PM display of concentric, rotary gears. Features include win a game to silence the alarm, multiple saved alarms, choice of melody or iTunes song for wakeup, repeating alarms, snooze, or normal shutoff.

Seoul, Korea - November29 Studio today is pleased to introduce Alarm Clock Gear 1.0 free for iOS, its stylish alarm clock designed around a surreal, dream state motif. A wholly original interpretation of the geared mechanism powering a classic, wind-up alarm clock, all displays and controls are soft spheres with small, nipple-like, gear teeth. Users can set their objet d'art alarm clock from an H/M/M-AM/PM display of concentric, rotary gears. Features include: win a game to silence the alarm, multiple saved alarms, choice of built-in melodies or selections from the iTunes Library for wakeup, repeating alarms, 5-minute snooze alarms, or normal shutoff. Fully functional as a free app, users may expand their clock design and game options via an in-app purchase.

Feature Highlights:
* Stylish, full-featured alarm clock
* Set multiple alarms
* Set repeating alarms
* Awaken to a built-in melody or a song from your Music Library
* Ensure you are completely awake by completing a game to shut off the alarm

At launch in portrait orientation, users are greeted by a calm blue sky and billowing white clouds drifting by, partially obscuring the plump gears that serve as controls and displays. The largest gear at the top of the screen is marked with a "+" sign, allowing users to add a new alarm setting. Hanging from this control gear, one-by-one, are smaller gears displaying all the past and future alarms that have been set. Resembling a string of Christmas tree decorations, the alarm-time gears may extend past the bottom of the screen, and scrolling vertically reveals the twilight and then the night sky. Individual past or future alarm gears can be sent to the trash with a touch, alarm settings edited, or they may be kept as remembrances of past dreams.

Setting a new alarm brings up a fullscreen, concentric, 4-gear rotary display, which allows users to dial in the exact hour (1-12), minute/first digit (0-5), minute/second digit (0-9), and AM or PM. Digits are indicated on the small, rounded gear teeth, and after rotating any alarm-set gear into the alarm-time window, a muffled mechanical click is heard. After saving the alarm-time setting, the user may choose up to 7 of 8 sectors of the repeat-set gear. Choices include: Never, or Every M/T/W/Th/F/Sat/Sun. Finally, after saving the repeat setting, users can choose their audible alarm from several included melodies or any song in their iPod Music Library.

Alarm Clock Gear lets sleepers choose from normal, touch alarm shutoff, or game-based shutoff. Guaranteed to bring any user out of sleep, the alarm will not shut off until the manual dexterity puzzle is solved. There is also a 5-minute snooze alarm for those almost ready to arise. When the alarm is turned off, a new screen slides into view, showing the current time, the day of the week, the date, and the current temperature and weather conditions, based on the current location of the iDevice.

"There are so many iOS alarm clock apps to choose from, we decided to make ours completely unlike any other," commented Shepard Park of November29 Studio. "One look at our free Alarm Clock Gear app, and I think you'll agree that we have succeeded."

Drwer 1.0 for iOS - The simplest drawing app for your iPhone or iPad - Published on 11/27/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Utah based independent developer, Tanner Christensen today introduces Drwer 1.0, his new productivity app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Drwer stands out as one of the simplest drawing apps in the App Store. For creatives and artists who want to sketch an idea out quickly without having to stress over cluttered settings and impractical features, Drwer is the perfect app that lets you draw immediately, anywhere you are.

Salt Lake City, Utah - Today independent developer Tanner Christensen, creator of the best-selling Lifestyle app Oflow, is excited to announce the launch of Drwer 1.0 for iOS. The perfect app for creatives and artists who need to jot an idea down or do a quick sketch without having to fuss over impractical features and unnecessary settings in an app. Just launch and draw, it's that easy. Drwer even integrates seamlessly with the iPhone and iPad, saving sketches straight to the photo library, so you can open and share all of your sketches instantly.

Feature Highlights:
* Drwer is the simplest drawing app for iPhone and iPad
* Hassle-Free drawing without unnecessary settings
* Works with the built-in photo library
* Two brush sizes to choose from
* Double-tap to erase a drawing
* Grid-overlay mode for more detailed sketches
* Realistic brush texture and movement
* Share sketches right from the library

When Christensen couldn't find a simple app to quickly draw sketches for a project at work, he set out to create a new kind of sketching app. Previous drawing applications require the user to change a multitude of settings or create a new document with unnecessary layers and brush settings every time they open it, Christensen wanted to create an app that would allow creatives to quickly sketch ideas easily.

Relying on the simplicity of built-in iPhone and iPad functionality, Drwer was made to be an app anyone can launch and immediately start drawing in. Artists, painters, professionals, students, and children, can now quickly sketch their ideas out using Drwer without having to mess with a lot of features or confusing settings.

With this app, users get access to the simplest of settings that are painlessly easy to use. Two Brush Sizes let you draw finer details quickly, when needed. GRID OVERLAY creates a semi-transparent grid so you can get layouts just right. Double-Tapping on a drawing erases it instantly, so you can start over and quickly get closer to a better drawing.

Drwer saves drawings directly to the photo library, where they can be shared by email, on Facebook or Twitter, or even printed out. Or you can open saved drawings and add more details if you'd like.

"I wanted a way to draw something quickly without having to use a piece of paper or whiteboard," commented Tanner Christensen. "Drwer is just that: the quickest way to draw an idea out easily."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th generation), and iPad 1/2/3 and iPad Mini
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later (iOS 5 tested)
* 2.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Drwer 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
