Zen Sand for iOS - Guide Slowly Falling Sand in a Calming, Zen-Like Game - Published on 07/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Polygon Play today introduces Zen Sand 1.0 for iOS, its relaxing, physics-based game, where players drag to create angled bamboo stalks that guide slowly falling sand into porcelain vases. Pushing its game-physics engine to the limit, each one of hundreds of grains of sand responds individually to the effects of gravity, wind, and collisions. Its landscapes, soundscapes, and atmospherics display exquisite attention to detail, and its 64 puzzles offer a sublime, slow-motion gaming experience.

Mantsala, Finland - Polygon Play today is pleased to introduce Zen Sand 1.0 for iOS, its relaxing, physics-based game, where players drag to create angled bamboo stalks, which guide slowly falling sand into Japanese porcelain vases. Pushing its built-in, game-physics engine to the limit, each one of hundreds of grains of sand responds individually to the effects of gravity, wind, and collisions. Zen Sand is crafted with exquisite detail to landscaping, atmospherics, and hand-painted vases, and its 64 puzzle levels offer a sublime, slow motion, gaming experience.

Feature Highlights:
* Place bamboo stalks strategically to guide the sand into the vases
* Relaxing Zen-like atmosphere
* Realistic particle physics
* 64 challenging levels
* Earn pearls to buy puzzle solutions, if needed
* Game Center leaderboard and achievements
* Universal (iPhone 3GS or better required)
* Support for all retina displays
* Adjustable particle count based on your device - make your device really work

Many mobile games produce entertainment value through vivid graphics & animation, frenetic pacing, adrenaline pumping situations, explosions, combat, and destruction. Zen Sand takes the opposite approach, artistically combining slow-motion animation of tiny grains of sand with a powerful game-physics engine capable of controlling the behavior of each grain as it falls.

In portrait orientation, one or more Japanese vases appear onscreen. The lip of each vase is not wide, and a number and color appears on each vase. The first indicates the number of grains of sand required to make it "full," and the second determines the color of sand required. Before touching the Start button, players try to imagine how to solve the puzzle, given the number and placement of vases. When gameplay begins, single grains of white sand begin to fall in slow motion from a point at the top of the screen, flowing continuously at about 10 grains per second. If only one vase appears on the screen's lower right, the player can easily drag to create a single, long bamboo stalk angled to feed the stream of sand into the vase.

At higher playing levels, the puzzles are more difficult. There may be two vases on opposite sides of the screen. Since bamboo cannot be moved once it is placed, this puzzle requires that the player use a stalk to fill one vase first, then drag another stalk, diverting sand from a point closer to its source, to fill the second vase. Soon, players are challenged to fill three vases positioned above each other, and fill vases with colored sand after it has been directed through a colored Japanese lantern. Over four seasons, players unlock 16 levels in sequence, discovering increasingly subtle puzzles.

Each level ends when the sand runs out. Zen Sand automatically controls the number of grains of sand used, depending on the computational power of the player's iDevice. For example, the game generates 500 grains per level on a new iPad, a pile of sand no bigger than a thumbprint. In this case, vases require 10 - 40 grains to signal they are "full."

Too small to be seen is the 12-sided, dodecahedron shape of each particle of sand, which shape helps add considerable realism in how sand flows, gets caught in bottlenecks, and bounces. At higher levels, players direct sand flow through bladeless, circular fans to send grains flying upwards into upside down vases.

"Zen Sand is a beautiful puzzle game that will ease your mind and soothe your senses," commented Antti Lehtinen of Polygon Play. "Enjoy each tiny grain of sand as it falls, slides, bounces, and blows - resisting nothing."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 43 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Zen Sand 1.0 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Review copies are available on request.

The Story Home Movie Touches The Heart And Inspires Kids To Listen - Published on 07/25/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Story Home's first short movie is an inspiring story told in a unique way, mixing brilliant images, gorgeous music and rich narration. The movie champions the power of parents and educators to unlock the potential in each child by encouraging them to listen to their own creative voice. The movie is being offered for free on The Story Home YouTube channel.

Richmond, California - The Story Home's first short movie is an inspiring story told in a unique way, mixing brilliant images, gorgeous music and rich narration. The movie champions the power of parents and educators to unlock the potential in each child by encouraging them to listen to their own creative voice. The movie is being offered for free on The Story Home YouTube channel.

"The Boy Who Finally Listened" tells the story of a young boy who is racing through his busy world, cut off from his own wonder and imagination. When he comes upon an old storyteller telling stories to children in the park, he begins to listen and something inside him changes. His ears open to a new world of wonder and creativity, touching the gifts he had buried deep within.

"This story moved me. I took a night to clear, after spending days editing and when I watched it, I cried and felt emotionally full. It was then that I knew this movie was going to be a something special and the responses are confirming it", said Sharon Rogan Scofield, producer and co-owner of The Story Home. "The validation that "you nailed it" is so uplifting; it makes us want to create more".

Alan Scofield, writer, illustrator, narrator of the movie, and co-owner of The Story Home says "I was lucky when I was young. I had people around who inspired me, to find my "box of wonder", and use my imagination. I wonder about the kids who do not have people to believe in them, to encourage their gifts. That's why we created The Story Home, because we wanted to let all children know that they had a home for their imagination in our stories".

The Story Home began creating an authentic place for children's imaginations five years ago, offering children's audio stories regularly on their many platforms including their top iTunes podcast, website, albums, iPhone and iPad apps, to an eager family and educational audience hungry for quality content for listeners.

Response all over the world grew and millions of downloads later, The Story Home had become a top podcast on iTunes, and was awarded the coveted "great website for kids" designation by the American Library Association.

Now The Story Home is poised to enter a new level of influence to delight, inspire and educate. Its first offering, "The Boy Who Finally Listened", written by Alan Scofield, produced and edited by Sharon Rogan Scofield, with music by Yuri Sazonoff, will open the way for many more journeys of discovery, each of which will advocate for children the improvement of their education and the enriching of their minds.

App Pricing and Availability:
The Story Home - Children's Audio Stories iPhone app 1.4.2 is $1.99 USD and The Story Home - Children's Audio Stories iPad app is $2.99 USD(or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Books category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TripleSpot, LLC today introduces TripleSpot 1.1 for iOS. The unique social guidebook app encourages users to capture, organize and discover the world around them. features user-generated content that encourages people to pursue their passion points by discovering cool activities, planning upcoming trips, and in turn, helping others follow in their path.

San Francisco, California - TripleSpot, a new storytelling mobile app for travelers, launched on the Apple App Store today. The free app features user-generated content that encourages people to pursue their passion points by discovering cool activities, planning upcoming trips, and in turn, helping others follow in their path.

More and more, people are turning to mobile devices as a sort of guidebook - whether attempting to discover a new local treasure or planning an epic adventure in a different place. With the new TripleSpot app, users, or TripleSpotters, tell their stories through three elements: a physical location, an image and a description of the experience.

"We were inspired to create TripleSpot to create a tool that would enhance the experience of getting out and doing new and interesting things. The app takes users beyond just reviewing businesses or sitting back to look at photos," said David Hu, Marketing Manager for TripleSpot. "With TripleSpot, users can capture stories in the moment that can then be saved, returned to and shared with friends."

TripleSpot's members can create "Spots" or "Lists" that are organized into twelve different categories, such as "Get Outside," "Do Good" and "Hear Music" making it easy for others to find great activities based on interests.

There are three primary actions that TripleSpotters can use:
* Capture Spots by uploading a photo, tagging it to a specific location, and sharing a personal story
* Create Lists by grouping Spots based on themes, locations, dates of travel, or categories that can be shared and saved
* Search for Spots nearby, in a specific location, or within categories of interest

As new TripleSpotters participate, the app will continue to evolve based on the community's activity and preferences. As the community grows and more spots are created, the app will become more customized to each user's personality and interests.

TripleSpot is available for free on the Apple App Store. The Android version will be available in Fall 2013.
