Catch celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White in action this Christmas. Mad Chef is a game that can be played on any iOS device while allowing them to become their favorite mad and crazy chefs who have been a part of popular TV and DVD food series. This interesting food game is the perfect recipe for fun gaming during the holidays.

Stockholm, Sweden - Catch celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White in action this Christmas in a free shooting game launched by Mad Chef Productions, an Indie developer company located in Stockholm, Sweden. Now available at the iTunes App Store, this interesting food game is the perfect recipe for fun gaming during the holidays. It's not only on TV where all the action happens; many chefs have plenty of crazy real life stores to narrate.

Based on these answers, the team designed the game in a very short time and the inventory of Mad Chef includes over 20 outrageous items such as kitchen knives, potatoes, plates, frozen fish, blow torches, bottles, the kitchen stereo, and much more.

Mad Chef Productions brings people the best of both worlds, a game that can be played on any iOS device while allowing them to become their favorite mad and crazy chefs who have been a part of popular TV and DVD food series. To spice things up, the team created a Blood mode apart from a unique Zombie mode for users who wanted to take the game a step further.

Founder, Soren Andersson says, "With a background in the restaurant business, I wanted to create a game as a tribute to the love-hate relationship between chefs and waiters while including the old school chefs that we all have seen in popular TV shows like Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares among many other episodes."
Available on all iOS mobile devices, Mad Chef comes with excellent retina gfx and professional custom design, making this game an upcoming iTunes classic. Mad Chef is the game to play on iTunes during the holidays for those who dream of striking the Chef's bell while speaking in a French accent and throwing whatever item is closest to them at waiters or guests.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 48.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mad Chef 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Calling all Dragons: The Army needs YOU! - Published on 12/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Appublica today, is proud to announce the launch of 'Military Draco' on iOS. Control Draco, the world's first Military Dragon. Use fireballs to eliminate enemies across 42 levels filled with tricky physics, fiendish puzzles and...chickens? By tapping and holding the screen, and pulling back on Draco's tail, his mouth fills with fire. Releasing shoots the fireball. Players will quickly learn that strategy and planning are just as important as angle and aiming in order to earn Draco his stripes!

London, United Kingdom - We all know humans are lazy. Most of them are unhealthy slobs who sit around all day eating pizza and playing video games. But when the Military are forced to draft Dragons into active service instead of people, you know there's a national crisis. Doesn't anyone but mythical fire-breathing creatures want to serve their country anymore?

Enter 'Military Draco'. In this action-packed physics puzzler, players take control of Draco - the world's first military Dragon - as he breathes great balls of fire to overcome a range of obstacles and dastardly enemies.

By tapping and holding the screen, and pulling back on Draco's tail, his mouth fills with fire. Releasing shoots the fireball in the arc you've chosen. The aim of each level is to bypass the strategically placed obstructions and burn the enemy at the other side of the level. Draco only has a limited number of fireballs to use, and stages are constructed so that real thought is needed to succeed. Players will quickly learn that strategy and planning are just as important as angle and aiming in order to earn Draco his stripes!

Exhibiting a high level of skill in the standard levels also unlocks bonus levels to further challenge the player. Only the best of the best will see these stages which require a consistently strong performance to uncover!

'Military Draco' also features 'Toonplay' visuals. 'Toonplay' is a unique graphical style developed by Appublica that references the organic quality of hand-drawn art. Brought to life on a retina display, it's detailed and distinctive appearance is truly unlike anything else on the App Store.

Themed enemies such as snowmen, pumpkins and ghosts inhabiting 42 levels which become progressively more difficult and addictive. The stages fully display the 'Toonplay' art style character models with backgrounds that look as if they were painted by brushstrokes on a canvas. Military Draco is a puzzle game that will keep even the most hardened of gamers challenged.

And if more people take Draco's example, get off their sofas and sign up for the Military, remember you've got Appublica to thank!

Device Requirements:
* iOS 4.3 or later
* iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
* 35.3 MB

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

Lock2020 App - Keep Passwords Safe & Secure with Ironclad Encryption - Published on 12/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

To help users protect their secret passwords with military-grade encryption, Suprios today announces the newly updated version of its popular Lock2020 app for iPhone and iPad. This free app lets users securely record confidential information to their mobile devices. All data in Lock2020 is protected by ironclad security and encryption. To enhance the safety of the app, Lock2020 can be closed with just one touch. It also locks automatically when the device goes to sleep.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - To help users protect their secret passwords with military-grade encryption, Suprios today announces the newly updated version of its popular Lock2020 app for iPhone and iPad. This free app lets users securely record confidential information to their mobile devices. All data is protected by ironclad security and encryption.

"With Lock2020, you can finally lead a stress free life," said Stephen Washington, Founder of Suprios. "You no longer need to memorize passwords or worry about your private information falling into the wrong hands."

Bank accounts, credit cards, investment accounts - many of the most important accounts someone has are protected by passwords, making them accessible to anyone with the code. At the same time, security experts recommend using a different password for each account, making them long, and using both letters and numbers. These factors have made it nearly impossible for the average user to remember all of their passwords.

Lock2020 was designed to solve these problems, giving a simple and convenient solution to safeguarding personal information with 256 bit encryption.

"With identity theft and hacking attacks on the rise, smartphone users have to be more vigilant," Stephen Washington said. "An important first step is downloading Lock2020 and protecting the passwords to all your most important accounts."

The search feature in the app allows users to find a password quickly, and they can easily create categories to stay organized. Common categories are pre-loaded such as Bank, Credit Card, Alarm, Website, and more. Users can also add personal notes.

To enhance the safety of the app, Lock2020 can be closed with just one touch. It also locks automatically when the device goes to sleep.

Strong passwords lead to good security. To help users, Lock2020 includes an Auto Password Generator to create better alphanumeric passwords with only a tap. Also, it can notify of upcoming expirations for work or business passwords.

While some apps require extra costs for online storage accounts, Lock2020 does not have any hidden fees. iPhone and iPad users can connect to their existing Apple iCloud account to store or backup information.

An Android version of Lock2020 will be released by February 2013. Also, Suprios is currently working on Spanish and French languages of the app for release in January 2013.

Features of the Lock2020 app include:

* Secure Protection - Featuring rock-solid 256 bit encryption
* Simple to Use - Passwords can be entered and retrieved easily
* Stay Organized - Includes quick search and custom categories
* Strong Passwords - Using the helpful Auto Password Generator
* Access Anywhere - Integrated with iCloud to share data between devices

Device requirements:

* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 12.0 MB

Pricing and availability:

Lock2020 is currently available worldwide through the App Store in the Productivity category for free.

Metaversal Studios Announce Their Latest iOS Release: Heal Me! - Published on 12/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From the creators of "Shave Me!" comes the gruesomely entertaining iOS app, "Heal Me!". Mend cuts, scratches, blisters, burns, bruises and rashes by using a wide variety of healing (and harming) tools available right at your fingertips! Add & heal injuries to your own pictures and share them on Facebook and Twitter. Available Free in the App Store now! Alternately, players can take a darker path and choose to not sew up cuts, poke bruises & pop blisters to see what the negative results will be.

Brighton, Massachusetts - Game Developer Metaversal Studios today is happy to announce the release of their latest title, "Heal Me!"; A devilishly fun app for iOS devices that includes support for the new iPhone 5 widescreen retina display.

Created as the spiritual successor to "Shave Me!", their enormously popular entertainment app that has been downloaded over 7 million times, the studio is confident that with "Heal Me!" fans will put down the shaving cream and razors and pick up the hydrogen peroxide and bandages.

"With Heal Me!, not only can players turn their photos into hilariously gross first-aid catastrophes, but they'll have a blast doing so." Said Gavin Allen, Metaversal's Producer. "With gameplay that will be familiar to Shave Me! fans but equally entertaining to newcomers, we're very excited to share it with everyone!"

The studio has included the ability to add injuries and ailments to any picture a player chooses. They can take a picture in-app or use one that is already stored on their device. The ability to share pre and post-Heal pictures on Twitter and Facebook is expected to be one of more popular features found in "Heal Me!".

"Exercising your first-aid chops on a screen of skin is one thing, but sharing a comically over-bandaged rendition of your best friend's face for all to see? That's priceless."

With their latest release, Metaversal Studios has focused on delivering a product that is both endlessly entertainingly and comically gross. Player's devices become a landscape of skin that acts as a playing field for healing a variety of nasty user created injuries and ailments.

Players are given a variety of tools to heal the likes of burns, cuts and rashes as they are given the task of choosing the right disinfecting tools and bandages to accurately finish the job. Alternately, players can take a darker path and choose to not sew up cuts, poke bruises and pop blisters to see what the negative results will be.

"Heal Me! really lets the player's creativity run wild with a wide variety of first aid options; will you treat that cut with some peroxide, or roll the dice and see what spray cheese does to it? There's no right answers, but every choice leads to comedy that's so gross you just have to show it off!"

With both healing and harming tools (duct tape and super glue), at the player's disposal, "Heal Me!" is a comical and cringe-worthy sandbox of morality and malpractice that Metaversal Studios is proud to have unleashed onto the Apple App Store.

"Heal Me!" is a free app that the studio plans to update with additional content in the coming months.

Device Requirements:
* iOS 4.3 or later
* iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
* 48.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Heal Me! 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

Cowbeam can best be described as singleplayer "Who is it?" with planets instead of faces. You need to gather hints that point you towards the right planet where a cow resides. These hints range from the planet's color to its size, and from the vegetation to the amount of moons orbiting around the planet.

Finding the cow is not all that matters, you'll also want to find stars, hidden within the solar systems. These are used to unlock new levels and upgrades, preparing you for the more difficult levels ahead. The cows you find are stored in canisters and become a colorful collection. There are even some very special cows to be found throughout these galaxies.

Apocalypse Mode is a free new gamemode in Cowbeam where hints are only visible for a brief amount of time forcing the player to remember the hints he/she has gathered. Furthermore there is a new achievement if you complete all levels on Apocalypse Mode! The Apocalypse mode is perfect for the advanced player. Are you up for the challenge?
