Little Kitty Exterminator Paws onto App Store with 3 Minutes of Speed - Published on 02/08/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fifty year old first time developer Salvatore Salonia of Nifwiggle Games brings elements of racing against the clock with speed to appeal to every gamer looking for a couple minutes of fun. Little Kitty Exterminator is a three minute cat and mouse game built on speed for casual gamers. Mice run from one hole to another in pursuit of a wedge of cheese. You, as Little Kitty, has to stop them. Scurrying in both directions, the mice get faster every minute and the action gets more frenetic.

Barnegat, New Jersey - Nifwiggle Games today is pleased to announce the release of Little Kitty Exterminator 1.0 for iOS, its three minute cat and mouse game built on speed and accuracy for casual gamers. Five mice starting with 100 points each run repeatedly from the top hole to the bottom hole all in the pursuit of a wedge of cheese. The closer the mice get to the cheese the lower their score number becomes. You, as Little Kitty with your cat paw has to exterminate them.

If the mice reach and eat the cheese, it'll cost you 100 points. Be aware, the mice will be hiding out in the bottom holes shaking their tails waiting to make their return trip to the top hole. After every minute, the mice, scurrying in both directions will get faster. The music will change pitch and the action will get more frenetic. Build up your points in the first minute while the mice are slower. Catch a mouse and watch as your random score floats to the top of the screen adding to your scoreboard. Each mouse runs at a different speed, so the five mouse is much faster than the one mouse.

Little Kitty Exterminator, from fifty year old first time developer Salvatore Salonia of Nifwiggle Games brings elements of racing against the clock with speed to appeal to every gamer looking for a couple minutes of fun.

BamBoo Group suggests 5 free iOS apps you can use to be a little more creative this time, including iBooks, Paper by FiftyThree, Ringtonium Lite, Recards for iPad and Jamie�s Recipes.

Tallinn, Estonia - The BamBooApps team have hand-picked 5 free iOS apps that can help anyone to be more creative while saying "I Love you" this Valentine's Day. Loving someone is not a simple task. Think it's easy to say how much you love another person for the first time and don't make it silly or boring? While it's OK to go with a simple "I Love You" BamBoo Group suggests 5 free iOS apps you can use to be a little more creative this time.

1. iBooks 3.0.2:
Apple�s free app for reading books. Just create a Word doc or Pages document with neutral title on the first page, something like �My first book� will do. The second page is entirely for your love ode. Than export or safe the file in ePub format and ask the love target to help your friend with the fresh view on the book. Man, you are so romantic!

2. Paper by FiftyThree 1.2.6
This gorgeous drawing app is free to download on the App Store and you don't even need to buy additional brushes to make a hand drawn Valentines card and post it on the social network where you love target spends most of the time. Personal message is appreciated.

3. Ringtonium Lite 2.5.3:
Best in class ringtone making app with built in mic recording feature. Record your words of love, make a ringtone and when you are together just ask her to call you (say you lost your phone somewhere in the room). Oh, now your are kissing. Job's done.

4. Recards for iPad 2.1:
This speech-to-music iPad app was born for this kind of thing. It has a fantastic romantic music themes library. I bet your love never had this moment so filled with feelings before. Just choose the music you like, say the special words and the app will turn them into serenade style track. Now go ahead and send it via email. Oh my god this is Love.

5. Jamie�s Recipes 2.10.1:
You should never underestimate the role of a good romantic meal somewhere on the quite roof . This app will help you to find the best recipes ever including step-by-step videos. And don�t forget to hide Love You message inside of your bolognese pasta. Trust me it works.

Happy Valentine�s Day!
