Pixel Game 1.0 released for iOS - Picture Guessing Game - Published on 01/27/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based independent developer, Bennett Berger today introduces Pixel Game 1.0, his unique picture guessing game developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Fun for the entire family, Pixel Game challenges players to make their way through numerous levels as they guess different pictures. These pictures start out pixelated and become less pixilated (easier to guess) as time runs down. Users are given four choices for each picture and must select the correct answer in the allocated time.

West Hills, California - Independent developer, Bennett Berger today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Pixel Game 1.0, his unique picture guessing game developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Starting at level one, a blurry pixelated image is displayed. As time starts to tick by, the pixels decrease in size which makes the picture clearer. Each picture contains one correct answer along with three incorrect answers. Users must select an answer before the time runs out.

Users earn more points the faster they select the correct answer. If an incorrect answer is chosen, no points are awarded and the next picture is displayed. Four out of five pictures must be answered correctly in order to move on to the next level. If less than four are answered correctly, that same level is to be played again. However, each play is unique because of the randomness of the pictures chosen in the level, the randomness of the picture order, and the random placement of the answers.

After every level (five pictures), Pixel Game sums up your score and displays the total earned points. When connected to Game Center, players can compete with others for the highest scores. Once all of the levels are played, the options are to either play them again to try to beat their high score or purchase more levels. Playing the same levels over is likely to be a unique experience due to the randomness in the level creation.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Pixel Game 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Additional levels are available to purchase for $0.99 (USD) cents. Coming soon is a one-on-one game play where you can challenge friends to guess your own pictures. Please visit Pixel Game online for news and updates.

Lies of Astaorth: Innovative Operation System - Published on 01/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iFree Studio introduces Lies of Astaroth 1.02 for iOS. Lies of Astaroth is a brand new fantasy MMORPG card game combining card collection, role playing, adventure and social interaction. Set in a world of mystery and fantasy, players follow the God of Prophecy on an adventure through a world of maps and levels. Innovative, new features bring a fresh sensation and a more exciting and challenging gaming experience to this battle TCG. Easy to learn, players can jump right into the game action.

Hong Kong, China - iFree Studio is pleased to introduce Lies of Astaroth 1.02 for iOS. Lies of Astaroth is a brand new fantasy MMORPG card game combining card collection, role playing, adventure and social interaction. Set in a world of mystery and fantasy, players follow the God of Prophecy on an adventure through a world of maps and levels. Innovative, new features bring a fresh sensation and a more exciting and challenging gaming experience to this battle TCG. Easy to learn, players can jump right into the game action.

Lies of Astaroth has received positive feedback since its first release on 15 January 2013. In the present app market, this card game revolutionizes the whole genre with its challenging strategic battle system. In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this game, more features will be introduced below.

In comparison to action games and real-time strategy games, the operation of this card games is much easier; Lies of Astaroth also inherits this characteristic, players can grasp the the most important functions within minutes during the turorial. Even the more complex Enhancing System can be learned in a few easy steps.

There are four types of cards in Lies of Astaroth: Kingdom, Forest, Wilderness and Hell. Different cards have different skills. Some cards are classic attackers dealing damage to the opponent, whereas others are used to increase the player's defense ability, or even to regenerate HP. Furthermore, every type of card has its own attributes. The four attributes restrict each other mutually. Finding out which card is most useful in what kind of situation and discovering the best card combinations are certainly two highlights in terms of game play in Lies of Astaroth. Each card has its own basic value of ATK and HP at the beginning. However, you can strengthen a card from level 0 to 10 via the Enhancing System. Along with the upgrade of the cards, more skills will be unlocked. Some skills can only be triggered in specific moment. There are many sources for claiming high level cards, such as PVP battles, purchases in the Store, completing certain tasks or exploring the maps.

In Lies of Astaroth's well-designed battle system cards are drawn randomly from the deck and placed in the Preparation Zone. After waiting a certain number of rounds they can move to the Battle Field. Cards with a high more stars have to wait longer than low-star cards, e. g. 1-Star cards only need to wait 1-2 rounds. Because of this setting, players need to think carefully about the arrangement of their decks to make their attack more efficient. For instance, if your deck does not include any attacking card but only assisting cards, this battle formation will be defeated very easily. Smart people always think 10 steps ahead - this is also valid in Lies of Astaroth! However, if you are sure that you will win this battle, you can just tap the Auto button and the battle will be carried out automatically.

Lies of Astaroth is a brand new fantasy MMORPG card game combining card collection, role playing, adventure and social interaction characteristics. There are more mysteries waiting to be solved. Let's go explore this fantastic world!

These apps allow the user to learn more about themselves than ever thought possible and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist.

What is the importance of Knowing Thyself?

To begin with, to "know thyself" means you must become conscious of your thoughts, your likes and dislikes, your prejudices, habits, memories, etc., because the more you understand yourself, the greater is your understanding of humanity as well.

Knowing your true self is when you learn to step outside of your thinking - in other words, to be the "observer"; and not caught up in your emotions and all the abovementioned aspects that make up your "persona" or "personality" as we see it here on earth.

The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself?
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:

* Build Lists
* Causes and Effects
* My Part
* Fears Analysis
* Fear Questions
* Sex Relations

Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support.

The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement

Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.

Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, users determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes the following eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add:

* Other people's opinions
* Not getting what I want
* Not having control of the situation
* Financial insecurity
* Abandonment
* Physical harm
* Failure
* Success

The fifth step is examining each Fear category and answering the following key questions:

* Why did I have this fear?
* When did I first notice this fear in my life?
* How did I hold on to this fear?
* What did this fear make me do?
* What chain of circumstances did this fear set in motion in my life?
* How did I react to this fear?
* What decision did this fear cause me to make?
* How did self-reliance fail me?
* What should I have done instead?

And the sixth and final step is examining Sex Relations, where users answer all the following questions regarding each of their sexual relationships:

* How was I selfish?
* Where was I dishonest?
* Where was I inconsiderate?
* Who was hurt in this situation?
* Did I arouse jealousy, suspicion, or bitterness?
* Where was I at fault?
* What should I have done instead?
* What will I do in the future?
* Did I pray or have spiritual conversations with him/her?
* Did I pray for him/her?
* Did I enjoy his/her company?
* Did we bring each other closer to God?

"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

A User-Friendly and Affordable Password Management Solution - Published on 01/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Deliquus announces its first version Carnet, for Mac OS X. Carnet is the French word for notebook. However, the application doesn't just provide you with a digital notebook, but enables users to store logins and other information securely. Managing passwords by storing them on the computer securely is one of the hardest tasks for the average computer user. Many tools are available, but they often either lack user-friendliness or they are too expensive. Carnet is user-friendly and affordable.

Brussels, Belgium - Managing passwords by storing them on the computer securely is one of the hardest tasks for the average computer user. Many tools are available, but they often either lack user-friendliness or they are too expensive.

The new software development company Deliquus - Deliquus literally means "missing" - has released its first version of the Mac OS X application Carnet. Carnet is the French word for notebook. However, the application doesn't just provide you with a digital notebook, but enables you to store logins and other information securely.

Carnet uses the Advanced Encryption Standard with 256 bit keys, which is used by military and government institutions all over the world. Despite the complex techniques it uses, the application only costs $19.99 USD.

The application has another unique aspect. The developers have chosen to not release the software thru Apple. They did not publish the application on the Mac App Store and they did not code sign the binary. The developers say they refuse to obey the monopoly of Apple in software distribution on the operating system, who claims 30% of the profits and a fixed fee of 99 dollars per year. That is why a work around is needed for the new Gatekeeper system. The site points users to a Boston University webpage that explains the situation well.

The application can be downloaded on Deliquus online.

Battery Guru 1.5 Popular and Free App for OS X: Battery Life Monitoring - Published on 01/28/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MacDaddy released Battery Guru 1.5 free for OS X, their highly popular battery monitoring system that resides in the menu bar and displays essential current information about the current state of the battery. Battery Guru monitors and presents real-time information on exactly how much current a battery is using at any given moment and display it in the menu bar, allowing users to monitor drain and become aware of life sapping applications and pages the moments after they appear.

Breckenridge, Colorado - MacDaddy released Battery Guru 1.5 free for OS X, their highly popular battery monitoring system that resides in the menu bar and displays essential current information about the current state of the battery. Battery Guru monitors and presents real-time information on exactly how much current a battery is using at any given moment and display it in the menu bar, allowing users to monitor battery life and manage applications and web pages that are draining the battery excessively. Displaying the current battery capacity, the amount of charge it can hold compared to when it was new, the number of times a battery has been discharged and recharged, the date a battery was manufactured, exact battery temperature, and an accurate percentage of the current charge of a battery, Battery Guru give users precise information to better manage and optimize battery life.

Version 1.5 is an upgrade to version 1.0 which was released 6 months ago and quickly climbed the ranks of the Mac App Store, at its peak reaching the second most downloaded app overall on the German edition of the Mac App Store, making it the second most downloaded item of all programs of all categories, surpassed only by OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" itself, distributed as a downloadable self-installer.

Battery Guru allows you to get more life out of your battery. Like with most resource usage, most of the batteries power goes to causes which are unimportant to you, but the charge gets squandered because without this app you are unaware of what is using it. Battery Guru will monitor and present current information on exactly how much charge a battery is using at any given moment and display it in the menu bar. This allows users to keep an eye on power consumption and close unnecessary pages or applications that are draining the battery. After becoming accustomed to the application, it will become second nature to keep an eye on the amount of power that is being used, and to notice when it is higher than it should be and to start closing down likely culprits.

Battery Guru will also show how you fast your battery is recharging. This can be very useful information because the charge rate of a battery also drastically varies, depending on various factors. You will understand what they are, and understand the optimal amount of time to charge a battery for if you want to go on to use portably as quickly as possible afterwards.

Feature Highlights:
* See how fast your battery is discharging. Useful for preserving life
* See how fast your battery is charging. Useful to see optimal charge times and battery health
* Precise information to better manage and optimize battery life
* View current battery capacity and milliamps usage
* Easily identify and manage battery-draining applications
* Tools help optimize battery life
* Access important battery information to optimize system usage
* Information on number of recharges and manufacturing date

When using a computer, the amount of time a user has until the battery runs out varies drastically. The reason a battery sometimes drains quickly is usually due to one of two reasons. Sometimes an app that is not even in use will remain in the background constantly using 100% of one processor core and draining the battery. Having a Flash application open in a tab is a common cause of this phenomenon. Secondly, a MacBook Pro comes with two graphics cards: one that uses little power, and one that is much more powerful and uses significantly more power. If a user is running OS Lion on a more recent MacBook Pro, the OS will automatically switch between the two. However, occasionally an app or a webpage will remain open, holding the power-hungry graphics card open, and unnecessarily draining the battery charge.

Battery Guru also provides a secondary but equally important function. By providing information that users do not usually have access to, this app gives users the tools to optimize their battery life and function. It will show the current battery capacity compared to the capacity it had when it was new. It also provides information on the number of times a battery has been discharged and recharged, the date a battery was manufactured, and the exact battery temperature. Battery Guru's information on current battery charge is a more exact percentage than provided by the operating system, giving users accurate and actionable battery information.

Each portable Mac comes with a "Smart Battery," that already knows this battery information and holds it internally. Battery Guru is the means of accessing this relevant information, allowing monitoring of the current battery state and awareness of the functioning of the computer system. Users may set Battery Guru to start automatically at login, providing a seamless interface with the computer system.

Version 1.5 brings in:
* Temperature display in Fahrenheit as well as Celsius
* Improved graphics
* Various bug fixes and improvements

"The battery you have in your portable Mac may be a lot more sophisticated than you were aware of," states MacDaddy's CEO, Ben Slaney. "And you can get more usage out of it! Battery Guru is the means to accessing the advanced information your battery holds internally. Once you get used to having it in your menu bar, you will never want to be without it again."

System Requirements:
* Requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* 1.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Battery Guru 1.5 is free and available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Utilites category. It is also available for download form the MacDaddy website.
