Bubbles Popper Free for iOS: Strategic, Touch-to-Pop Connected Bubbles - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SoftAKGames today introduces Bubbles Popper 1.0 free for iOS, its color-match grid-based game, where players touch a bubble and all those of the same color that are contiguous, horizontally or vertically, are removed simultaneously. With no game clock, the 1-player game requires that an increasing number of bubbles be popped to level up, and there are 3 difficulty settings. The greater the number of bubbles popped at one time, the higher the value, e.g., 3=3 points; 10=90 points; 20=380 points.

Melbourne, Australia - SoftAKGames today is pleased to introduce Bubbles Popper 1.0 free for iOS, its newest color-match, grid-based game, where players touch a bubble and all bubbles of the same color that are contiguous, horizontally or vertically, are removed simultaneously. After each move, columns of bubbles drop under the influence of gravity, filling empty spaces in the grid. With no game clock, the 1-player game emphasizes strategy to achieve the highest score. Game rules dictate that a required number of bubbles be removed to level up (increasing at each level), and there are three difficulty settings: 4, 5, or 6 colors of bubbles. The greater the number of bubbles popped at one time, the higher the value, e.g., 3=3 points; 10=90 points; 20=380 points. Bubbles Popper tracks the player's best scores, and offers optional participation in Game Center Leaderboards and Challenges.

Feature Highlights:
* Fast, fun, match-3 style game
* No game clock for relaxed play
* Develop the best strategies for leveling up and popping multiple bubbles
* Scoring system rewards popping the most bubbles simultaneously
* Game Center support

With eye-catching graphics and smooth operation, Bubbles Popper incorporates several important features not found in most similar games. First, players can choose the difficulty by selecting to play on a gameboard with bubbles of 4, 5, or 6 different colors. Running up big scores and moving through the levels get more difficult with more colors. Currently, the global 4-color high score is 576,128; the global 5-color high score is 496,163; and the global 6-color high score is 450,280.

The second feature that distinguishes Bubbles Popper is that there is no game clock or timer. Free of any time pressure, players can relax and make more intelligent moves based on strategic planning. Third, the game offers unlimited take backs without any penalty. This helps players refine their skills, and the cluster of bubbles unpopped remains highlighted to help the player better visualize their previous move.

Fourth, each level of play requires that an additional 15 bubbles be popped to advance to the next level. On a gameboard of 300 bubbles, Level 1 requires a minimum of 210 bubbles popped to go to Level 2 (225 min.) and Level 3 (240 min.), etc. Players who have met the minimum requirement do not move to the next level until no further matches remain, allowing them to score additional points before advancing.

Fifth, Bubbles Popper rewards players for popping large numbers of bubbles simultaneously, rather than over several moves. For example, popping two clusters of four bubbles each scores 24 points (2x12=24), while popping one cluster of eightandrey bubbles scores 56 points. The scoring system is based on an arithmetic progression that heavily rewards the largest clusters of bubbles popped at once. The scoring system is constructed as follows: 2 bubbles simultaneously=2 points; 3/3 pts; 4/12pts; 5/20 pts; 10/90 pts; 15/210 pts; 20/380 pts; 25/600 pts., etc.

"SoftAKGames now has 11 different puzzle games for iOS and Android featuring grids of colored squares, cubes, circles, and spheres," commented Andrey Krutikov. "Bubbles Popper allows players to solve always new puzzles using strategic planning."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 14.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Bubbles Popper 1.0 is free (ad-supported) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Hypnosis by Nevosoft Now Available on the App Store - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nevosoft introduces Hypnosis 1.1 for iOS. The game is played from the perspective of hypnotherapist, Maya Anderson, who investigates the mysterious disappearance of the chief physician of a psychiatric clinic. To find answers, players enter the subconscious minds of the clinic's patients and experience their inner worlds. To find the truth in this mind-blowing epic adventure full of surprises, mini-games, and puzzles, players delve into the psyches of patients, battling attacks by their phobias.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation - Nevosoft is excited to introduce a new mind blowing game for iPhone and iPad called Hypnosis 1.1. Hypnosis is a great example of an indie style game - one of those rare games that appears on the market, develops a cult following and becomes a timeless classic.

The game is played from the perspective of hypnotherapist Maya Anderson, a smart, just, and statuesque woman. When Mark Blanche, the chief physician at a psychiatric clinic, mysteriously disappears the police suspect murder and call Maya in to help with their investigation and Dr. Blanche's patients. She arrives and discovers that the patients are behaving stranger than usual. As a skilled hypnotist, she enters the subconscious of the patients and experiences their inner worlds.

In the psyches of the patients, players will be attacked by their phobias, which they battle in mini-games that serve as pleasant distractions from the main adventure. All of the characters are exceptionally brilliant: a painter, a musician, a scientist, a businessman, and others, each with their own bright mind, full of surprises and puzzles. Besides, every subconscious world has its own style: the programmer's universe is portrayed as pixel art; the professor's mind is inhabited solely by formulas; the 'real' world is inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

In the course of the game the doctor realizes that this case isn't merely about the disappearance of one man, but a catastrophe of epic proportions, and that she won't be able to deal with without first facing her own subconscious.

Feature Highlights:
* A consciousness expanding plot

UAW App compiles many unique and new exercises, alongside proven older style moves to give a user a set of exercises performed in a particular fashion to make sure they train the right way - thus encouraging real results and tangible progress. UAW App is also built around 100% video tutorials that a user can view and workout alongside. This allows understanding of correct form and technique.

And as well as a proven set of incredible workouts based around Metabolic Intensity Protocols, Ultimate Ab Workout App is also built to allow the user to choose any of their music to play and listen to as they train. This is a first for video fitness apps. 3 different workout durations and programs offer varying degrees of intensity to allow anyone from beginner level to advanced level to enjoy UAW and train their body the right way.

UWA is built and designed for the iPhone and iPad / iPad mini with clean beautiful UI and graphics and easy to understand functionality. This is the future of Abdominal Training on a mobile device and UAW offers everything needed to give an outstanding workout for users to either 'plug-in' to their current training regime or use as stand alone intense workout focused on complete abs and core fitness results.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

Grammar Guru Answers the Most Common Questions of English Usage - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today's world demands ever-increasing levels of clear written communication. Job descriptions, operating instructions for computers or machinery, business contracts, reports, almost every job one can think of demands clear if not elegant writing - all this at a time when writing skills seem to be disappearing. Grammar Guru was created by Redwood Publishing Group to help answer some of the most common questions about the proper use of American English grammar.

San Anselmo, California - Redwood Publishing Group is pleased to announce the launch of Grammar Guru 1.2.8, the app that answers the most common questions of American English usage. The app also contains a fast search function so users can find what they need instantly.

Knowing the mechanics of writing offers access to the new culture of power, and helps everyone become more engaged, thoughtful writers; it makes people comfortable and competent with language. The business world relies increasingly on email and other instant forms of communication. And, especially with the decrease of traditional bricks-and-mortar, a shelf full of reference books - or even reliable internet access - isn't always available.

Sections include:
* Grammar & Usage
* Punctuation
* Spelling
* Foreign Phrases
* Numbers
* Abbreviations & Acronyms

No internet access is required once the app is downloaded, and Grammar Guru uses minimal memory, so it's always accessible, reliable, and fast.

An administrator and professor from City College of San Francisco says of Grammar Guru: "This is an excellent reference tool! No bells and whistles, just straightforward, frequently surprising and often entertaining content. Search is fast and comprehensive. Very valuable for writers in business or school."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 3.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Grammar Guru 1.2.8 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

IPV Solutions Launches Children's App Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD - Published on 04/11/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Letters and numbers come to life to create amazing high-definition dinosaurs in Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD, an entertaining and educational app for preschoolers. New from IPV Solutions, the award-winning developers of Connect the Dots Ultimate, the app is now available for free download on Apple, Android and Windows. As children connect the dots, they reveal stunning images of dinosaurs, optimized for the high-definition Retina displays on the iPhone and iPad.

Sydney, Australia - Letters and numbers come to life to create amazing high-definition dinosaurs in Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD, an entertaining and educational app for preschoolers. New from IPV Solutions, the award-winning developers of Connect the Dots Ultimate, the app is now available for free download on Apple, Android and Windows.

"Dinosaurs fascinate boys and girls and dot-to-dot games have traditionally been fun learning tools," said Leanne of IPV Solutions. "With Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD, the two unite to entertain children while helping them learn letters, numbers and how to pronounce the names of their favorite dinosaurs."

The journey to prehistoric ages begins with exciting images and sounds. Each puzzle features an eye-popping natural setting, optimized for high-definition and Retina displays on tablets as well as smart phones, with a hidden image of a dinosaur. As children connect the dots, they reveal stunning images of dinosaurs such as Kentrosaurus, Anhanguera and Apatosaurus.

A real voice announces either a letter or number as the child connects each dot while a hints feature helps the preschooler who is not sure about the next letter or number in the sequence. The Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD puzzles are simple to accommodate different ability levels, but become increasingly difficult to challenge children as they progress. Upon completion of a puzzle, a child's voice announces the name of the dinosaur pictured and the dinosaur comes to life with sound. Children will delight in listening to the thrilling dinosaur sound effects as they replay them again and again.

Eager to discover the dinosaurs, preschoolers as well as older children don't even realize that they are learning. With sight and visual cues, playing Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD assists in the development of number and letter recognition as well as sequencing. Older children learn to pronounce the complex names of dinosaurs. Plus, with big dots to tap and drag, children improve their fine motor skills.

Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD has received the highly-regarded Famigo APProved Badge. The award recognizes Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD as an app that delivers on its promises and serves families well. Unlike other children's game apps, Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD is free of advertising and includes a child-lock in the free game to prevent an unintentional upgrade to the full-priced version.

"Busy families need children's mobile apps that are amusing as well as educational," said Leanne. "Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD delivers on both."

With long waits in the doctor's office or at an older sibling's soccer practice, parents turn to smart phones and tablets to entertain their preschool children. Adult-centered games aren't appropriate and a lot of children's games are just visual candy. Concerned parents want fun games with an instructional component to entertain as well as educate their children. IPV Solutions understands these concerns and created Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD to address them.

Device requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 19.2 MB

Also available for:
* Android phones and tablets on Android 2.2 or later
* Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8

Pricing and availability:
Connect the Dots Dinosaurs HD 1.1 is available for download through the iTunes App Store. The app is currently available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category for free. Additional features are available with an in-app purchase for $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies).

The Making of Tower Zoo:
Tower Zoo was conceived by Rick Skinner, a high school mathematics teacher, at Sir Tim Berners-Lee's former school. "Pupils were finding how many times they could connect 3 or more cubes on a given grid size. When each link was replaced with a taller tower, it became evident that the tallest possible stack was 5 high.

The idea developed into a two player turn-based game. I then discovered that changing the shape of the boards created a different game experience while maintaining the core concept. I created dozens of different boards and enhanced them further with 3 special 'power' squares (Bonus, Pitfall and Perimeter).

As a long line started to form at the teacher�s desk, it became apparent a fun and original strategy game had been discovered. At this point I arranged a meeting with Jan Heuff from MiniWorldGames. He recognized its potential for touch-screen devices and shared my vision of bringing it to the App Store. Since then we are in almost daily communication and have a healthy collaborative relationship focused on delivering the best game possible.

Back at school, the kids love the game and have followed its progress every step of the way. They have witnessed it grow from a simple block game into a full-scale iOS release. They are never short of opinions and have contributed a number of great ideas. The school also has a special Internet-history, boasting Sir Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the Internet) as a former pupil. Students have tested the tutorial, played beta versions, generated art work, made video reviews, and critiqued the music. Schools are an excellent place for honest opinion and intelligent feedback. There's no better way to test a game than by giving it to tech-savvy teenage gamers."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5 and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 45.4 MB
