Evil Twin Trivia: The Wacky New App By a Man Who Lives With His Parents - Published on 11/29/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Evil Twin Trivia was created by a TV Game Show Producer who had an idea for a trivia app, left his career and moved in with his parents. The Game: While trapped inside a mansion by an Evil Twin, the player is faced with a series of questions: "Who suffered a bad case of bird flew (into his face while riding a roller coaster)?" Outsmart the Evil Twin and avoid the lies to escape the maze of questions. Evil Twin Trivia is the first app released by the new company, Odds and Apps, LLC.

Gilbert, Arizona - Odds and Apps is thrilled to announce that Evil Twin Trivia is available on the App Store. Created by a TV Game Show Producer who had an idea for a trivia app, left his career and moved in with his parents. Originally released October 4, 2012, Odds and Apps has quietly been making changes and up-dates before today's official announcement of the new iOS trivia game.

Question: If Rocky Balboa literally had the eyes of a tiger, what would be the most likely side effect?

Evil Twin Trivia was designed with a new format for playing trivia. If The Price is Right and the movie, Labyrinth, had a baby that grew up and created trivia, this app may have been the result. Trapped inside a Mansion, the player must avoid every lie to escape the Evil Twin in a maze of questions.

Each Mansion has 7 rounds. Round 1 contains 1 trivia question; Round 2 contains 2 questions and so on. The player is told at the end of each round if their answers are correct. If the player was fooled by the Evil Twin, they will be challenged to play the round again. Stuck on a question? Spot the lie with the "HONEST EYE". Selecting "HONEST EYE" will reveal the Evil Twin and the correct answer. 5 are included with the game.

* "No reply" The New York Times

"I'm a huge trivia fan," explains the 33 year-old Logan Steele, founder of Odds and Apps. "While exploring the current apps, I noticed a creative void in the trivia world. In February 2012, I decided to abandon my career, move in with my parents and fill this void. With the determination of an Olympian and reading level of a 4th grader, I went to work."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
* iOS 5.1 or later
* 64.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Evil Twin Trivia 1.2 is available for $0.99 (USD) on the App Store and can be found under Trivia in the Games Category. The "HONEST EYE" 10-pack is $0.99 using the In-App Purchase. Review copies of the game are available upon request.

Freeze Gravity and Find the Quickest Means of Escape - Published on 11/29/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Frozen Gun Games announces the release of the exciting new arcade puzzle game, Freeze! 1.1. The aim of Freeze! is for the gamer to help the in-game hero escape from prison cells by reaching a rotating spiral nebula. Freeze! introduces a range of never before seen game mechanics, utilizing a physics-based game world and a unique freeze button, which is used by the gamer to literally freeze gravity, buying some valuable seconds as they try to solve the puzzle they are faced with.

Hamburg, Germany - Frozen Gun Games is delighted to announce the release of the exciting new arcade puzzle game, Freeze! 1.1, across multiple platforms for both mobile telephone and tablet devices. Freeze! is available for worldwide download in 10 languages from iTunes, Google Play, Amazon App Store, and Barnes & Noble NOOK App Store.

Versions of Freeze! purchased from iTunes and Google Play are free to download, and come with the first world of 25 levels pre-loaded along with 10 bonus levels, with additional worlds available, should the gamer wish to purchase them, for $0.99. From the other App Stores, Freeze! is available as a free 'lite' version with 10 levels along with five bonus levels pre-loaded. Alternatively, gamers can purchase the full game for $1.99.

Freeze! introduces a range of never before seen game mechanics, utilizing a physics-based game world and a unique freeze button, which is used by the gamer to literally freeze gravity, buying some valuable seconds as they try to solve the puzzle they are faced with.

The aim of Freeze! is for the gamer to help the in-game hero escape from prison cells by reaching a rotating spiral nebula. This isn't easy however, as gamers will have to deal with spikes, traps, enemies, and a whole range of evil entities that are aiming to stop them on their path to freedom. As gamers progress through the game, additional variables and challenges are introduced into Freeze!, keeping the game fresh and exciting even after hours of continuous play.

Controlling the hero character in Freeze! is very intuitive, with the gamer required to rotate the prison cell using the touch screen on their device. If gamers wish to buy themselves some time, they simply hit the freeze button, arresting gravity and suspending the hero, although enemies and other nasty elements aren't affected and will still move across the screen as normal. Once the gamer has rotated the level and found their best means of escape, they simply hit the freeze button again to continue.

Gamers can replay the levels within Freeze! as often as they wish in order to complete them in the shortest possible time and attain their highest possible score. For those who struggle to master Freeze! there are gameplay videos that will appear after six attempts at a level, showing gamers how to escape.

Freeze! includes in-built social media features so that gamers can post their own messages direct to Facebook and Twitter from within the game itself, boasting of their achievements, and challenging their friends to beat them.

Announcing the launch of Freeze!, Frozen Fun Games CEO Andreas von Lepel commented, "It's a love-hate relationship with Freeze! Gamers everywhere will love it thanks to the fresh ideas and fun had as they look to escape the numerous traps, enemies, and laser beams within the game. They might end up hating themselves, however, because every time they die, it's their own fault! There are no random elements and no-one else to blame!"

Frozen Fun Games is currently working on a sequel to Freeze!

English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish

Colorific 2.0 - coloring book for iPad - rolls out new stunning design - Published on 11/29/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile apps development company Appuchino today announces Colorific 2.0, an update to its popular drawing and coloring book for iPad. Colorific allows children to use one of the 50+ amazing templates for coloring built into the app or chose to draw whatever they like on an empty page. This version 2.0 update brings the drawing and coloring experience to a whole new level, with an all-new UI that is very intuitive, kids-friendly and so easy-to-use that even small children will love using it.

Dublin, Ireland - Mobile apps development company Appuchino has just released to the App Store the new version (2.0) of its popular app Colorific. Colorific is a coloring and drawing iPad app for kids. Colorific allows children to use one of the 50+ amazing templates for coloring built into the app or chose to draw whatever they like on an empty page.

The app offers multiple drawing and coloring tools: pencils, paints and in the new app version - markers. All the tools come with a great selection of colors, so kids are never bored. Colorific also allows erase or undo unwanted changes, save or print drawings and share them via email, Facebook or Twitter.

What's new in Colorific 2.0?
The new app version which has been keeping Colorific team extremely busy lately aims to bring drawing and coloring experience to the whole new level. So, here is what's new in Colorific 2.0:

1. Brand new UI design. Colorific team partnered with the best UI designers and the result is really outstanding. New design is truly beautiful, very intuitive and kids-friendly.
2. Young users and their parents will notice new drawing and coloring tools appearing in the app: pencils and paints have now been complemented with markers.
3. Renewed picture gallery. All drawings are now saved in a gallery that gives you an impression of being in a real picture gallery with paintings on display.

New app version has been extensively tested with beta-testers, who provided great amount of feedback and feature requests, most of which were implemented.

Since Colorific hit the market in August 2011, it has captivated kids who like to draw and color and has been welcomed by their parents who often mentioned the lack of high quality drawing and coloring apps on the market. Here is what Bianca Sames, mother of two girs, 7 and 8 years old, says about Colorific: "I think the layout of this app is fantastic as you have the pictures and colors and tools easy to find.. We have other coloring apps but the picture takes up the whole screen and the tools are hidden and harder to find. This app has a better layout and prettier pictures. It's awesome!"

Pricing and Availability
Colorific is available in the App Store in its full version, which is priced at $2.99 (USD) and offers users rich functionality as well as 50 templates to color. There is also a lite version of the app available for download. Lite version is offered for free, but has limited functionality and smaller number of templates for coloring.

Kwik 2.1 Photoshop Plugin Released for iOS and Android Development - Published on 11/29/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kwiksher today announces Kwik 2.1, a feature update to its professional mobile development solution for Adobe Photoshop. Kwik allows designers, illustrators and developers to create rich interactive mobile apps in Photoshop for iOS and Android without knowing code. Release 2.1 features an array of additional offerings including new controls for drag and drop scenarios, improved group management, the ability to copy and paste interactions between pages, and so much more.

Coral Springs, Florida - Kwiksher is pleased to announce the release of Kwik 2.1, an update of the original Kwik plugin for Adobe Photoshop CS5 and higher. Kwik 2 simplifies the process of creating interactive, animated content for iOS and Android devices. Release 2.1 features an array of additional offerings including new controls for drag and drop scenarios, improved group management, the ability to copy and paste interactions between pages, and the easy addition of new pre-made components that enable static Photoshop compositions to become mobile apps.

Kwik 2 is ideal for designers and illustrators looking to create interactive eBooks, magazines, and now, games with physics. The plugin provides dozens of pre-made features such as controlling sound, linear and path animation, and spritesheet capabilities without the need for users to leave Photoshop. Kwik 2 also allows users to integrate external code inside the plugin.

"Kwik 2.1 offers several highly-requested features, empowering illustrators and designers to bring stories to life without any coding with even more options," says Alex Souza, Founder of Kwiksher. " Think of Kwik as your personal developer - you can focus on your creative vision, while Kwik takes care of the coding."

Kwik uses Corona SDK, the leading cross-platform mobile development framework, for previewing and publishing final projects. Over 150,000 developers worldwide build with Corona SDK, and more than 20,000 Corona-made apps have been published to major app markets.

"Kwik is an essential tool for designers and developers who are looking to quickly bring their creativity to the digital world," says David Rangel, COO of Corona Labs. "Some of the most impressive, unique and polished content we've seen in the Corona Showcase was developed with Kwik. The additional features available in Kwik 2.1 will pave the way for even more opportunities for innovation in mobile."

Dozens of popular Kwik-made children's storybooks, games and apps have been published to major app markets including Fire Cupid, featured in Wall Street Journal, TIME, and The Washington Times, and Sparky the Shark, an award-winning children's tale.

"The ease and speed of my storybook's development was a cinche, thanks to Kwik. After completing the artwork, I was able to quickly test my work on various screens, all within Photoshop," says Xavier Bottet, author of Halloween Recreation, a newly-launched storybook made with Kwik 2.

System Requirements:
* Adobe Photoshop CS5 or above for OS X or Windows
* Corona SDK
* Certified iOS and/or Android (Google Play), Amazon, or NOOK developer membership
* Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later

New Collage It! App Released to Make Photo Framing and Collaging Easy - Published on 11/30/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jeffrey Clark is pleased to announce the launch of Collage It! 1.1 for iOS, an app that enables users to frame and collage photographs in one integrated, easy to use program. Backgrounds are mixed and matched with frame layouts in order to customize the look of the pictures' borders. Photographs can then retain the structured frame look, be manipulated into a collage layout, or utilize both features on the same canvas.

Baltimore, Maryland - Jeffrey Clark is pleased to announce the launch of Collage It! 1.1 for iOS, an app that enables users to frame and collage photographs in one integrated, easy to use program. Backgrounds are mixed and matched with frame layouts in order to customize the look of the pictures' borders. Photographs can then retain the structured frame look, be manipulated into a collage layout, or utilize both features on the same canvas.

Initial users have consistently commented on the ease of use and noted how quick it can be to make a work of art that looks great:
"I love this app as it was so user friendly. I was able to create my first collage in less than 1 min!" - (v1.0) DJShaheen on Nov 6, 2012

"Works smoothly, love the design of the app. Easy to create collages and send them to people whom I love." - (v1.0) Nickiiiyy on Oct 31, 2012

Arranging photographs is a favorite pastime for people of all ages. Whereas other photography apps on the market restrict the user to creating either a collage or a framed photo arrangement, Collage It! provides the flexibility to do both - even on the same workspace. Users start with a default open canvas and from there, can choose a frame, add photos from numerous sources, lay out and edit their pictures, select a visually complementing background, and then save it to the app's library. Aviary's industry standard image editing software is integrated into Collage It!, enabling photo touch-ups, filters, cropping, stickers and more. Sharing functions include posting it to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram; sending it as an email or printing a postcard via Sincerely.com, or simply saving it to the user's Camera Roll for future viewing.

Version 1.1 provides a more stable app, allowing users to change frames mid-project, add text independently of pictures, and includes more free backgrounds. A new marketplace screen allows users to view the in-app purchase packs available for $0.99 each and provides content thumbnails. Now included are plain backgrounds and holiday themes, in addition to the stock patterns.

Collage It!'s free features include:
* Easy to use User Interface and in-app tutorial
* 28 stock layout frames, 12 stock backgrounds (more of each available for purchase)
* Share on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Sincerely postcard or by email
* Dynamic photo editor powered by Aviary

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 29.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:

Just make the appropriate selections, and the perfect reply email is instantly created for you. Version 1.1 adds support for iPhone 5 and iOS 6, Topic duplication and more.

In addition to customer support, FAQ can be used for any information you might want to access repeatedly, such as travel directions, standard boilerplate wording, small print. safety warnings, instructions to pupils on a school trip etc. The final text (and attached images) can be placed in an email or copied to the clipboard.

The new version of FAQ 1.1 adds iPhone 5 and iOS6 support, and duplicating of email topics.

West Jordan, Utah - iCOOLgeeks today is thrilled to announce the release of Tesla's Electric Mist 1.0, their new point and click adventure game developed for iOS. Tesla's Electric Mist is a classic point and click adventure game revolving around the mysterious Nikola Tesla, a time traveling device he invented, and a big experiment gone wrong for the citizens of Colorado Springs in 1899. The elegant graphics of the game really bring the creative puzzles and story to life. Search for clues and solve the puzzles as the imaginative story unfolds.

"Nikola Tesla has always been a favorite of mine, and with the air of mystery surrounding his life and inventions, he made a wonderful character to base our story around." said Tyler Parsons, Owner of iCOOLgeeks. "Tesla's one of those people from history, you've either never heard of him, which is sad, or you're somewhat infatuated with him, like I am. Although our game has some crazy things in it, like time travel and dimensional phasing; Tesla is a real historical character who arguably contributed more to technology than any other known inventor.

"We really wanted to create a world and story that you could immerse yourself in for a while as you wander the streets of Colorado Springs, or search through Tesla's work shop. It was important to us that the puzzles be fun, challenging, and that they build upon the story and lead seamlessly into the next puzzle."

In the game, you are the hero. Your family has a history with the great Nikola Tesla, inventor of the radio, alternating current, and patent holder of hundreds of electrical inventions. Your great-great-grandfather worked for Tesla in Colorado Springs around the turn of the century. A family secret has been passed down over the generations since then, that some day Tesla would need your family's help once more. What this means, no one in your family really knows. But the time has come, and you will be the one to answer the call.

Using a time traveling device invented by Tesla, you travel back in time to Colorado Springs, and only you will have it in your power to save the people of Colorado Springs, and in fact, Tesla himself, from an experiment gone terribly wrong.
