Jelly All Stars Full iOS App: A Cure for the Common Puzzle Challenge - Published on 01/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Immanitas Entertainment introduces a fresh, new cure for the common stacking/puzzle game. Jelly All Stars Full 1.0.7 for iOS - the new, full version of its popular Jelly All Stars Light app - is a dynamic, feature-laden, and supremely entertaining stacking puzzle, optimized for iPhone 5, in which users are tasked with the challenge of sorting falling jellies by color and combining them to create six different super-sized Jellies that can help keep the action moving at a fast and furious pace.

Berlin, Germany - With a new year well underway, Immanitas Entertainment - the Berlin-based global publisher of several popular game titles- is pleased to announce a fresh, new cure for the common stacking/puzzle game. Jelly All Stars Full 1.0.7 for iOS - the new, full version of its popular Jelly All Stars Light app - is a dynamic, feature-laden, and supremely entertaining stacking puzzle, optimized for iPhone 5, in which users are tasked with the challenge of sorting falling jellies by color and combining them to create six different super-sized Jellies that can help keep the action moving at a fast and furious pace.

According to user reviews, Jelly All Stars Full - available now at the App Store for $0.99 (Games) and requiring iOS 3.1.3 or later - is a serious up-and-comer for the year 2013. Among the accolades, Jelly All Stars Full has been referred to by users as "the best game in this genre," and APPZAP.NET wrote that Jelly All Stars Full "brings new life the classic Tetris idea." The app features four color base pieces that can be grouped in six different shapes and, for even more dynamic gameplay, special combos are in-play to help users ramp up their scores - which is no easy task considering that the jellies drop faster and faster as user climb the various, intricate levels.

"We are so glad to get user feedback that puts Jelly All Stars Full right at the top of the category, because that's specifically what we set out to do when we decided to ramp up Jelly All Stars Light and expand it into a more robust and compelling application," said Christian Sauerteig, CEO of Immanitas Entertainment. "To read reviews - which give such crucial real-time feedback - calling Jelly All Stars Full 'more fun than Tetris' is, obviously, a huge thrill and a great feeling. After all, we only set out to create the most innovative and engaging mobile and social games - and Jelly All Stars Full goes above and beyond our usual high standards."

Among the most popular features on Jelly All Stars Full that has been developed by Immanitas Entertainments partner GhostShark are the five unique, 'special' jellies that have unique powers and applications. (The shiny diamond jellies, for example, will destroy all blocks of the same color, even if they are not connected.) Jelly All Stars Full - supported by some of the best graphics and catchiest music available anywhere, and completely ad-free - also features local and online high scores that allow users to determine, beyond the shadow of doubt, who the true Jelly All Stars really are.

Features:
* Four color base pieces
* Six unique shape groupings
* Five 'special' pieces with unique powers and usage
* Colorful, lively, and entertaining graphics
* Catchy, toe-tapping music

Remix your iBooks with Book Creator for iPad 2.4 - Published on 01/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today, Red Jumper Studio is pleased to announce the long awaited Book Creator 2.4. The No. 1 iPad Book app in 54 countries for over 119 weeks gets a fresh new update. With Book Creator 2.4 users can now create beautiful iBooks collaboratively. Book Creator has revolutionised digital publishing and has enabled people in over 50 countries to share their books with the world. Book Creator shifts iPad use from consumption to creation by providing simple tools that let anyone publish their work.

Bristol, United Kingdom - Today, Red Jumper Studio is pleased to announce the long awaited Book Creator 2.4. Book Creator has revolutionised digital publishing and has enabled people in over 50 countries to share their books with the world. Book Creator shifts iPad use from consumption to creation by providing simple tools that let anyone publish their work. From 5-year-olds to octogenarians, kindergarteners to professionals, Book Creator is simple to use, yet versatile, allowing creation to take the stage and complicated ePub formatting the backseat.

"Makes E-Book publishing easy." - Wired.com

"What a great tool! It's sleek, intuitive, and easy. Being able to design a fixed layout picture book right on the iPad makes total sense. Highly recommended." - Liz Castro, Author

New in 2.4:
* Import Book Creator made ePub Files - With support for importing books, you can now work collaboratively across multiple iPads, or easily backup and restore individual books from your iPad.
* Combine books - Work on sections of a book individually, even on different iPads, before combining into a final book.
* Enhanced PDF export - PDF documents now export with high resolution images and vector text so that they look great in iBooks and on the Retina display.
* Support for hyperlinks and richer text editing - Link to pages inside your book or external content.
Now with richer editing you can underline, italicise, and bold your text. Requires iOS 6.

With great books in the iBookstore like All the Things I Can Do! by Mollycules and The Crockodogopig by Ricky Tart & Andrew Kolb made using Book Creator as well as 5-year-old John Tambunan's Little Fish (a top ten children's book in the US iBookstore), BookCreator is well loved and used by professionals as well as those writing their first book. Schools like Cedars School, the world's first iPad 1:1 school, also love using Book Creator and with the new features offered by 4.2 it will be easier than ever for teachers to use Book Creator in the classroom.

Dan Amos, the developer behind Book Creator, left his position at Nokia as a Product Manager to create this app when he saw that there was a need for a simple, affordable digital publishing tool.

About what's new in 2.4 Dan says, "With Book Creator 2.4 you can now create beautiful iBooks collaboratively. With the simple import feature your creations can be edited across multiple iPads, opening up new ways of working. At home, family members can all contribute to their joint holiday book. In the classroom teachers can prepare books for students to complete, and add comments to their finished projects. Friends can remix one another's content. We believe collaboration is the next evolution for iPad apps after the journey from consumption apps to creation apps; and Book Creator is leading the charge."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Book Creator for iPad 2.4 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

Challenge! Brings Social Gaming Fun to Classic Strategy Game Agon - Published on 01/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SoftCraft introduces Challenge! 1.0 for iOS. Challenge! blends the fun and excitement of social gaming, with the pure strategic tests of the classic game Agon, which is characterized by simple rules, complex strategy and a total absence of random elements. Gamers can challenge friends over the Internet or face-to-face, and keep track of who's the best via the Leaderboard. Challenge! is optimized for iPhone, and compatible with iPad and iPod touch.

Cupertino, California - Gamers who want to battle their friends face-to-face or over the Internet to see who the superior strategist is can now download the fun, exciting and addictive new game Challenge! 1.0 for iOS. Designed by SoftCraft, Challenge! is based on the classic strategy game Agon, which is characterized by simple rules, complex strategy and a total absence of random elements.

Gamers start out with a queen and six guards, and take turns moving single pieces on the game board, which can be zoomed and panned via simple finger movements. Final victory is achieved - and bragging rights are won - when one gamer successfully brings his or her queen to the 'throne' (i.e. the center of the board) and surrounds it with all six guards.

In addition to its simple and yet brilliantly strategic gameplay, what helps keep Challenge! exciting and fresh game after game is its multiple play modes, which include: Over the 'Net, Over the Table and Demo. In Over the 'Net mode, gamers can challenge friends to a battle of strategic supremacy anytime and anywhere. Or, they can have the Game Center find them a worthy combatant.

In Over the Table mode, gamers can play face-to-face and (hopefully) watch their opponents squirm as they go down in defeat. Over the Table mode victories and losses don't factor into Leaderboard rankings. In Demo mode, gamers can watch a complete game and sharpen up their strategic thinking skills. They can also control the speed that pieces move - from standstill to quick pace - to study the details, and prepare to become the next Challenge! superstar.

Regardless of the desired mode, gamers will continue receiving game invitations from both friends and others (through Game Center), and can choose to accept or reject these. They can also have multiple Challenge! games running concurrently, and check out the Leaderboard to see who has the most victories - and who is climbing the ranks on their way to the top spot.

"Challenge! brings together the fun and excitement of social gaming, with the pure strategic tests of Agon," commented Jan Petter Nielsen of SoftCraft. "And while the basic idea may be simple, make no mistake - this is strategy at its finest! There are no random elements, no rolling the dice, no unexpected twists and turns. It's the essence of strategy, and a great way to spend a few minutes - or a few hours!"

Gamers who want to experience the classic strategy game Agon on their iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, can now download Challenge! from the App Store.

Language Support:
English and Norwegian

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 2.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Challenge! 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.

Smashing Robots Now Offers 200% More Levels of Gripping 3D Action - Published on 01/17/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MiniWorldGames announces Smashing Robots 1.1.0 for iOS. The latest version of Smashing Robots features 72 levels of gripping 3D action - up from 24 in the original version. Smashing Robots transforms gamers into the brave and heroic John Rambot, and sends them on a mission to free their fellow Meekas from the thoroughly wicked Evil Corp Robots of Wasabi Planet. The app is available at no cost, optimized for iPhone 5, and compatible with iPad and iPod touch.

Cupertino, California - Fans of the one-of-a-kind 3D game app Smashing Robots have reason to celebrate now that the latest version 1.1.0 boosts the number of levels by a massive 200% - from 24 to 72.

Created by MiniWorldGames, Smashing Robots transforms gamers into the brave and heroic John Rambot, and sends them on a mission to free their fellow Meekas from the thoroughly wicked Evil Corp Robots of Wasabi Planet.

Sound easy enough? It could be, if the Evil Corp Robots spoke the language of diplomacy, or had even the smallest desire to liberate their defenseless prisoners. Regrettably, they don't. As such, gamers are forced to take matters into their own hands - or rather, onto their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - and use skill and logic to journey through the jungles of Wasabi Planet, while they smash all of the Evil Corp Robots to bits through (what is now) 72 levels of gripping 3D action.

In addition to 200% more levels, the latest version of Smashing Robots also features:
* Lots of new playable elements including Cannon Blasters
* Win free hints in the crazy bonus levels (if you can find them)
* Take our hero from the Jungle, through the City to the madness of the Robot factory

"Aside from a truly unique and intense storyline, what sets Smashing Robots apart from other action gap app are the stunning 3D graphics, and amazing sound effects," commented Jan Heuff of MiniWorldGames. "Gamers of all ages will forget that they're supposed to be working, studying or doing something rather ordinary, as they immerse themselves in the noble quest to free the Meekas, one smashed Evil Corp Robot at a time. And now with 72 levels to discover, the app promises even of more hours of fun, action and, yes, robot smashing!"

Gamers who are already addicted to Smashing Robots and can't wait to feast their eyes on 48 new levels - or those who haven't yet experienced the gripping 3D action and want to join the quest to free the defenseless Meekas - can download the app now from the App Store.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 43.9 MB

MiniWorldGames was set up "way back when" by its parent company Rancon, a digital agency, as a specialist game developer and publisher. Since its launch in 2002, online games developed by MiniWorldGames have been played hundreds of millions of times and its first mobile game developed in 2003 was installed on just under 1 million devices. Miniworldgames.com became a place to play the company's original games, and with popular games such as Super Headers and Stan Skates, the site attracted more than 3 million unique monthly visitors and gained 170,000 register members within six months. With further games Mission Mars, Stick Cricket and a Dirty Sanchez-based game all released on mobile devices, MiniWorldGames has kept up with the competition in producing fun, playable games across devices. In 2012 MiniWorldGames took the leap into iOS Apps with the launch of Smashing Robots, and followed that up in early 2013 with a new version featuring 200% more levels. Copyright (C) 2013

Quest'n Go 1.4 Free for iOS - Quest-Based, Real World, Scavenger Hunt - Published on 01/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Koen Van den Heuvel today announces Quest'n Go 1.4, his scavenger hunt app that leads players to explore the real world by creating and solving different quests. Players can seek out a location in their own neighborhood, upload a picture, and develop a question about that location. A high quality, interactive map shows nearby quests, allowing players to solve other players� quests and give feedback. An alternative to tourist guides, Quest'n Go allows players to get outdoors and explore.

Hove, Belgium - Indie developer Koen Van den Heuvel today is pleased to announce Quest'n Go, his scavenger hunt app that leads players to explore the real world by creating and solving different quests. Players can seek out an interesting location in their own neighborhood, upload a picture, and develop a question about that location. A high quality, interactive map shows nearby quests, allowing players to solve other players' quests and give feedback. An alternative to tourist guides, Quest'n Go allows players to get outdoors and explore new places that may be off the beaten path.

Quest'n Go opens to a colorful, interactive map that is easy for players to navigate. Pushpins on the map indicate nearby quests. Purple pins indicate a quest that has not been visited, green pins indicate a quest that has been visited and solved correctly, and red pins indicate a quest that has been visited but solved incorrectly. Clicking on each pin provides players with detailed information about each quest, such as latitude and longitude of the location and player distance from the location in kilometers, allowing players to easily find each specific quest location. Each time players open the app, it automatically scans for nearby quests, ensuring that players will always have new places to adventure.

Quests often involve knowing specific information about a location, such as visible colors or details about nearby buildings. Although players can develop any type of question for a quest, players can only solve quests when they are at the location. In this way, Quest'n Go forces players to go out into their own neighborhoods to explore. Following completion of the quest, players can provide feedback on the quest in written comments as well as a "fun score." Once users rate a quest, they can upload their comments and "fun score" to Facebook and Twitter, allowing players to share enjoyable quests with friends.

Feature Highlights:
* Exciting scavenger hunt that leads players outdoors to explore their neighborhood as they try to solve each quest
* Interactive, colorful map shows players solved, failed, and unvisited quests
* Provide instant written feedback about a quest, as well as a "fun score," and share these ratings with friends via Facebook and Twitter
* Create quests and upload to Facebook and Twitter by posing an interesting question about a location, uploading a picture, and indicating the correct answer
* Quest log shows the other players' success at solving quest, as well as other players' ratings of quest

Aside from solving quests, players can also create their own quests. Players must give their quest a title, such as "The Black Castle" and ask an intriguing question about a location. Examples include, "When was the castle built?" and "This cannon was used as a knocking post for over 100 years. When was it dug up again?" The player must provide three possible answers, as well as indicate the correct answer. An accompanying picture of the quest gives players additional clues about the quest. Once players have created a quest, they can share with friends via Facebook or Twitter. The Quest Log feature also keeps track of the quests created, solved, and failed, allowing players to keep track of their own success as well as the success of their quests with other players.

"Quest'n Go is a fun scavenger hunt game played outdoors, in the real world," stated developer Koen van de Heuvel. "An enjoyable alternative to tourist information, Quest'n Go is an exciting and fun way to explore new places, as well as your own neighborhood, by creating and solving quests."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 4.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Quest'n Go - get out and play! 1.4.10 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Navigation category.

Sortee, A Puzzle Game That Will Change How You Think About Junk - Published on 01/18/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Czech based developer, Flow Studio today announces the upcoming release of Sortee, their new casual game for iOS devices. A fast-paced puzzle game with a deceptively simple premise, Sortee tests players' perceptions of the junk that clutters up our lives. As each item appears on screen, simply swipe to flick it into the right bin. Level by level, the sorting gets trickier until only those with quick fingers & even quicker thinking can succeed. Sortee is expected to be released January 31, 2013.

Prague, Czech Republic - Independent developer Flow Studio is announcing that Sortee, a casual game for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, is coming soon to the App Store. A fast-paced puzzle game with a deceptively simple premise, Sortee tests players' perceptions of the junk that clutters up our lives.

From sorting laundry to separating recyclables from trash, sorting is something we do all the time without a second thought, but Sortee shows that quick and precise sorting can be an intense test of brainpower. In Sortee, players must sort everyday objects based on the criteria that define them, such as an item's color, the material it's made from, or how it's used. As each item appears on screen, simply swipe to flick it into the right bin. Level by level, the sorting gets trickier until only those with quick fingers and even quicker thinking can succeed!

With its cartoon art and simple premise, Sortee may seem like child's play, but the game was deliberately designed for adults. "Here at Flow Studio, we never completely grew up, and we think that's true of a lot of people who play games. With Sortee we wanted to design a funky, visually-appealing game to satisfy your inner-child, that also provides a good mental challenge for adults," says Richard Horin, co-founder of Flow Studio. "So we took a simple principle, sorting, and turned it into a brain-teaser that gets really devious and exciting as it progresses. It's a piece of cake in the beginning, but as the categories multiply and the pace picks up, you'll be surprised by how challenging sorting can be!"

Pricing and Availability:
Sortee is currently in submission with Apple and expected to release January 31. Additional Sortee details, including screenshots and a gameplay trailer that show off the game's unique look, can be found on the official website. Press interested in reviewing the game in advance of its App Store launch can request a copy from Flow Studio.

Flow Studio is an independent team based in Prague's TechSquare. Richard Horin and Petr Fodor founded the studio in 2011 so they could lose themselves in the "flow" experience of making games - a feeling of immersion, energized focus, and prolonged enjoyment that they hope to pass along to players. Flow's first iOS game, Power of Logic, has had 2M downloads, earned a 4.5-star user rating among App Store users, and received the FWA's prestigious Mobile of the Day award.
