St. Petersburg, Russia - Golconda Games today is pleased to introduce Mafia Lottery Online 1.0 free for iOS, where players can bet online in a simulation of the numbers games or numbers rackets, first popularized in the U.S. in the 1930's. Unlike those traditional daily lotteries, bettors playing Mafia Lottery Online select a combination of 2 digits, rather than the typical 3 digits. Players wager and win fun money, and a new instant win drawing is held every hour. The odds of winning are 1 in 100, and 90% of the Prize Fund is divided among the winners in proportion to their wagers.

Feature Highlights:
* Old Mafia Lottery Numbers Online
* New fast format - choose only two numbers
* Play instant win every hour
* Odds are 1:100
* Have fun!

According to Wikipedia, "The Italian lottery was operated, as a racket for the American Mafia... Numbers game, also known as a numbers racket, policy racket, or Italian lottery is an illegal lottery played mostly in poor neighborhoods in the United States, wherein a bettor attempts to pick three digits to match those that will be randomly drawn the following day. In recent years, the 'number' would be the last three digits of 'the handle' - the amount race track bettors placed on race day at a major racetrack - published in racing journals and major newspapers in New York. A gambler places a bet with a bookie at a tavern or other semi-private place that acts as a betting parlor. A runner carries the money and betting slips between the betting parlors and the headquarters, called a numbers bank or policy bank. The name 'policy' is from a similarity to cheap insurance, both seen as a gamble on the future."

Now, players worldwide can join in the fun and excitement of a big payout, daily lottery. Mafia Lottery Online lets players wager any amount they like by betting on a combination of 2 lucky digits, 0/0 to 9/9. Every hour, the Mafia Lottery server randomly selects a winning combination, and players are paid immediately. In cases where more than one player is a winner, the Prize Fund is divided among the winners in proportion to the amount of their bet.

The app keeps track of all the stats, including selected numbers, bet amounts, results, and winners. Also available is a complete table of all winning numbers, the Prize Fund for each number, and the total number of winners.

"Mafia Lottery Online gives you the chance to be a real player and make big bets every hour," commented Roman Smirnov of Golconda Games. "There's no need to contact your local bookie - just launch the app and place your bet."

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pulse Code today announces Modular 1.01 free for iOS, its studio-quality, virtual analog synthesizer, featuring 24 different modules, band-limited oscillators, and oversampled filters. Far more flexible than fixed synthesizer designs, the app lets users interconnect and independently control Source, Filter, Amplifier/Routing, Modulation, Envelope, Effect, and Special modules. Ideal for professional musicians or beginners, it provides all the advantages of modular synthesis in an expandable app.

Trabuco Canyon, California - Pulse Code today is pleased to announce Modular 1.01 free for iOS, its studio-quality, virtual analog synthesizer, featuring 24 different modules, band-limited oscillators, and oversampled filters. Far more flexible than fixed synthesizer designs, the app lets users interconnect and independently control Source, Filter, Amplifier/Routing, Modulation, Envelope, Effect, and Special modules. It looks, acts, and sounds like a hardware modular synthesizer, providing musicians with pulse width modulation, oscillator sync, 4-pole ladder filters, and 1V/oct filter tracking. Modular supports Audiobus, SoundCloud, and CoreMIDI, as well as AudioCopy, so that the user's music-making workflow is streamlined and integrated. Ideal for professional musicians or beginners, it provides all the advantages of modular synthesis in an expandable app.

Feature Highlights:
* High fidelity, virtual analog synthesis, using band-limited oscillators, and oversampled filters
* Audiobus and background audio modes
* CoreMIDI control with external devices or internal sequencers
* Beautifully rendered graphics
* Dynamic workspace with intuitive navigation
* Optional modules available individually or as a Module Bundle
* 10-octave keyboard with classically styled arpeggiator
* Extensive in-app help with detailed module descriptions and guides
* Record and export live performances to SoundCloud, AudioCopy, email, and iTunes file sharing

Modular creates sound primarily through subtractive synthesis. In subtractive synthesis, a harmonically rich sound source is modified by subtracting unwanted harmonics to make the desired sound. Source modules consist of oscillators and noise generators; Modifier modules include filters and effects; Amplifier modules change the loudness of the sound over time; envelope generators and low-frequency oscillators are used as Controller modules; and Routing modules allow users to split, combine, fade, or invert signals between modules.

Free Modules:
* VCO-01 - band-limited, voltage controlled oscillator
* VCF-01 - 2-pole, resonance, low pass filter with frequency modulation
* VCA-01 - amplifier with an initial level knob and control voltage/gate
* MIX-02 - combines three input signals into one output
* SPLIT-03 - splits one input signal into three output signals
* INV-04 - utility module that inverts the input signal
* LFO-01 - low frequency oscillator used as a control voltage source fed to other modules
* EG-01 - standard attack, decay, sustain envelope generator
* EG-02 - standard decay envelope generator
* DELAY-01 - standard delay effect module
* BOOL-01 - applies one of three Boolean functions to two input signals
* RING-02 - ring modulator that multiplies two signals together
* SH-03 - standard sample and hold module
* Keyboard - basic synthesizer controller with built-in arpeggiator

Optional Modules:
* VCO-11 - advanced, band-limited, voltage controlled oscillator
* NG-17 - noise generator that outputs both white and pink noise
* VCF-11 - advanced, 2-pole, resonance filter with individual low, band, and high-pass outputs
* VCF-12 - 4-pole, resonance, ladder filter with low-pass output
* VCA-11 - improved amplifier module over the VCA-01
* XFADE-12 - crossfades two signals and outputs the result
* LFO-11 - advanced low frequency oscillator
* EG-11 - standard attack, decay, sustain, release envelope generator
* SLEW-13 - slew generator that smoothes out the transitions of an incoming signal
* DELAY-11 - advanced, delay effect unit
* DIST-13 - distortion effect module

"What makes Modular special is the audio and visual experience you have with it," emphasized Louie Iturzaeta of Pulse Code, Inc. "The beautifully minimal menu systems and interface, and the ultra-realistic synthesizer graphics are just the beginning. The real beauty is not what you see, but what you hear. Pristine and punchy oscillators that sound great, even at the extreme ends of the frequency spectrum. It starts with band-limited oscillators. Not just traditional methods of band-limiting, but band-limiting that enables each note you play to have the maximum number of harmonics without distorting. Every detail of the audio has been analyzed to provide you the most amazing sound possible, with buttery-smooth filter sweeps and resonance so stable you can use the filter as an oscillator!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5S, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 37.7 MB

The firm confirms that the new game is free-to-play and will be made available next on the PC, Android, and Mac platforms in the following months.

Part fiction and part fact, as a detective, the players goal is to uncover various cases designed to take you around the world with mind-bending puzzles, beautiful hidden objects, all set in immaculately rendered scenes.

"We're exceptionally proud to bring the first free-to-play hidden object adventure game both developed and published by Hullabu to the market today." says Founder and Executive Producer, Robert Adams.

The firm believes their cross-platform engine, allowing them to very quickly develop games for one platform, then customize and launch across multiple platforms, provides a particular edge against the competition. Mr. Adams indicates that the firm has developed tools and scripts, which allows them to quickly integrate new content into their F2P engine and will introduce new franchises over the next 12 months.

Effing weather which was launched in January of 2013 makes fun of the weather. Instead of telling you it is warm or cold outside, this fun weather app comes out with funny remarks about the weather which includes:

* In App Purchases to buy more phrases with themes around Breaking Bad

The aim of the Effing Weather App is to make people laugh and to lighten the mood when the weather is bad.

Loyal Zoo launches UK cloud-based loyalty app for independent merchants - Published on 09/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Loyal Zoo Ltd today announces Loyalzoo 1.2 for iOS and Android, an update to their popular loyalty app for shops. Aimed at local independent merchants, the app will let them reward customer loyalty as well as giving them access to social media platforms. There are two types of scheme: points or stampcard. The stampcard will be used by shops with a simple range of goods. The points-based scheme works best for clothes shops, restaurants or pubs, outlets with a greater diversity of products.

Cupertino, California - Based in Chiswick, West London, Loyal Zoo Ltd is the first UK company to develop a loyalty app which works without paper, plastic or QR codes. Everything is done with just a couple of taps. The Loyalzoo app was developed specifically for small and independent merchants. This is an important event in the retail trade. Until now, it is the big brands which have benefitted from the digital revolution. Now, the independent sector has a loyalty app tailored to suit its needs.

Many shops are adopting the system, in Chiswick as well as in other parts of London and the UK. These range from coffee shops, bakeries, beauty salons, pubs, and even dental clinics. Here are some of the unique features of the Loyalzoo app:

* Simple one-tap use. The loyalzoo app is a purely cloud-based system. So there is no plastic, cardboard or QR codes. Anyone with an iPhone or any Android phone can get started straightaway. It will soon be available for Blackberry and Windows phone users.

* Local shops in one place. Many independent shops may have their own loyalty scheme. But customers are tired of carrying around pieces of cardboard. Now, they can just launch the app and see all their rewards in one place.

* Suitable for any retail outlet. There are two types of scheme: points or stampcard. The stampcard will be used by shops with a simple range of goods - coffee shops or drycleaners for example. The points-based scheme works best for clothes shops, restaurants or pubs, outlets with a greater diversity of products. Both schemes allow for up to three different types of reward.

* Simple sign-up. Customer sign-up could not be more simple. Many people using independent shops do not want to fill out long forms giving all sorts of unnecessary information. They can sign-up and get started with name only, or even a nickname.

* Facebook integration. Customers also have the option to sign-in via Facebook, allowing them post their checks-in to their Facebook wall automatically.

"A loyalty app for independents is an innovation whose time has come," says director and co-founder Mark Ryan. "The number of shops offering their own loyalty scheme is now unmanageable for the consumer. People can't keep track of them, yet merchants know that rewarding loyalty is a must."

The launch also coincides with growing concern for the future of the high street. The closure of so many local shops as well as the rise of online shopping has left Britain's high streets in a parlous state. After years of decline, there are signs of a return to supporting local merchants. Neighbourhood shops are appreciated now, not just for the uniqueness of their offering, but also for their contribution to the life of an area.

The Loyalzoo idea is a blend of tradition and high-tech. "We're out to support local shops with the very latest technology," said Ryan. "In the past, when it came to innovation, independents have come last. Now they will leapfrog the big brands because the Loyalzoo app is so much more advanced than what the chains use, yet much simpler to use for both customers and merchants. We've made it super-smooth and simple. A busy shop, pub or restaurant can't have it any other way. And it looks great. Here's a way of supporting the High Street which benefits both merchant and consumer."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 20.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Loyalzoo 1.2, the innovative app designed to connect local, independent merchants to their customers, and to offer them rewards for repeat business, is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. It also available on Google Play.

This makes a total of eight Parents Choice awards received by Wanderful, an award for every Wanderful App that has been submitted to Parents' Choice for review and includes Parents' Choice Gold Awards for Arthur and Berenstain Bears Apps. All the Wanderful Apps are based upon classic storybooks by renowned authors.

San Francisco, California - Parents' Choice Foundation has awarded six of its coveted Parent's Choice Awards to Wanderful for their highly acclaimed interactive storybooks Apps. This makes a total of eight Parents Choice awards received by Wanderful - an award for every Wanderful App that has been submitted to Parents' Choice for review.

The awards are Parents' Choice Gold Honor Awards for Arthur's Birthday, Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight, Berenstain Bears In The Dark, and The Tortoise and the Hare. In addition to previously announced Parents' Choice Silver Honor Awards for Arthur's Teacher Trouble and Harry and the Haunted House, Ruff's Bone was Recommended by Parent's Choice and the Wanderful Storybooks Sampler was Approved by Parents' Choice.

"We are incredibly excited and grateful to receive these coveted Parents' Choice Awards," said Wanderful Founder and CEO Mickey W. Mantle. "The Parents' Choice Foundation is meticulous in their handling of reviews and extremely selective in their awards. We are honored to be among the limited number of developers who have received Parents' Choice Gold, Silver, Recommendations and Approvals."

Comments from the Parents' Choice Reviews illustrate the quality and value of the Wanderful Apps:

"Every word on every page is interactive, and the books come with multiple languages, parent tips, and an extensive teacher resource guide to use the app/storybook in the classroom setting. These features combined with top-notch storytelling make this app worth its $4.99 price tag. Download it, and enjoy hours of fun with your little one."

"The thought and creativity that was put into the interactivity in Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight is largely unmatched in any other interactive book. When you combine that with a classic Berenstain Bears children's book you have a complete winner. This is one of the best eBook apps available for young children, and there are few people of any age that would not enjoy it. "

"Arthur's Birthday is an interactive storybook from Wanderful, adapted for iOS from the original Living Books software series. It is priced at $4.99 and is one of the best ways you can spend 5 bucks for your child."

"Wanderful includes a customizable settings page so that parents/teachers can program for individual learning and play styles.

Diamonds Paradise 2.2 Free for iOS: Diamond Chaining for 1 or 2 Players - Published on 09/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Star Arcade today announces Diamonds Paradise 2.2 free for iOS, an update to its diamond chaining game for one player, or two players anywhere in the world. With more than one million gamers in 180+ countries, Star Arcade is the undisputed leader in cross-platform, real-time multiplayer gaming. The goal is to create chains of adjacent hexagonal cells that contain the same kind of gem, turning them to the player's color. The longer the chain, the higher the score, and capturing 35 cells wins.

Jyvaskyla, Finland - Star Arcade today is pleased to announce Diamonds Paradise 2.2 free for iOS, an update to its diamond chaining game for one player, or two players anywhere in the world. With more than one million people in 180+ countries playing their games, Star Arcade is the undisputed global leader in cross-platform, real-time multiplayer gaming. The goal is to create chains by dragging between adjacent hexagonal cells that contain the same kind of gem, turning them to the player's color. The longer the chain, the higher the score, and capturing 35 cells wins. Diamonds Paradise features strategic special cells (power-ups) and online tournaments with real prizes.

Feature Highlights:
* Diamonds Paradise 2 is the shiny successor to the original Diamonds Paradise
* Turn-based gameplay for one or two players
* Play with friends or be matched with an opponent via Star Arcade's game server
* 35-second limit per move
* Capture 35 cells to win
* Exciting tournament play with real prizes

"A swarm of bees was looking for a perfect place to build their hive. Accidentally, they fly over a tropical island, which looked just perfect. The island was filled with shiny diamonds, which were extremely handy in hive building. The only problem was that another swarm of bees arrived and needed the diamonds also. This is where you come in. Will you help the hardworking bees to capture the diamonds and build their hive?" So begins Diamonds Paradise 2.

The gameboard consists of a 9 x 7 grid of six-sided, hexagonal cells. The color of each cell is beige, but the cell turns red or blue depending upon the player who captures it. In the center of each cell is a diamond, which come in various shapes and colors. In their turn, players capture a cell by sliding their finger across three or more adjacent cells of the same diamond. Unlike a square cell with four adjacent cells, a hexagonal cell has six adjacent cells, which makes finding matches and forming chains easier. As players drag from cell to cell, arrows indicate the direction of the path, which lights up. Players can retrace their steps if they find a better route.

Long chains give players bonus points and special items like dynamite, which appears in a captured cell. Players can include the dynamite in a chain, which requires a payment in coins, and when the dynamite explodes during scoring, all the adjacent cells are captured. A bee can appear on a cell, and including that cell in a chain causes the bee to fly off, capturing additional cells. These power-ups create challenging strategic considerations that add to playability. Another strategic aspect of the game is choosing whether to create chains of the maximum length, versus chains that take cells away from the opponent.

"Nothing beats the fun and excitement of playing with friends and family playing Diamonds Paradise in one-on-one mode," commented Harri Myllyl� of Star Arcade. "You can also hang out in the chat room before or after every game to interact with whomever it is you're rooting to play against or anyone within the global platform who seeks to meet new friends and gaming companions. You can also gain different power-ups that will help you get through every rough patch in the way."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 39.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Diamonds Paradise 2.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Additional diamonds and coins are available as in-app purchases.

Apple approves email encryption app Secutor - Published on 09/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Tony Yustein today is proud to introduce Secutor 1.0 for iOS. Secutor enables users to email each other using the S/MIME encryption method, which is the only native email encryption option on iOS. At this time, there is no other app on the App StoreSM that can generate the required certificates that carry the public/private keys allowing email messages to be securely encrypted. Users can also search their address books using the app to see if friends are already using the app.

Seattle, Washington - Indie developer Tony Yustein today is proud to introduce Secutor 1.0 for iOS. Secutor, an app that generates S/MIME email encryption certificates on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, was approved by Apple.

Secutor enables users to email each other using the S/MIME encryption method, which is the only native email encryption option on iOS. At this time, there is no other app on the App StoreSM that can generate the required certificates that carry the public/private keys allowing email messages to be securely encrypted. Using the certificates generated by Secutor, user's email messages are encrypted using RSA Asymmetrical 2048-bit Encryption, which is not expected to be deciphered until 2030, even by the NSA.

Since iOS 5 S/MIME encryption was available in the Mail App but there was no app in the App Store which provided the needed public/private key pair certificates. Secutor is the first and currently the only app which provides this functionality. Users of the app can also search their address books using the app to see if their friends are already using the app or not. Exchanging S/MIME encrypted messages requires users' public keys to be installed on both devices. Secutor provides an easy to access directory for users to install their friends' public key certificates.

We are happy that now anyone can use encrypted emails on their devices. Mr Yustein said: "We are proud to be the first app which provides S/MIME encryption for the public."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 5.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Secutor 1.0 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

Run, jump & dodge your way through the jungle w/ Spirit Runner for iOS - Published on 09/13/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Runner for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Spirit Runner is new, dynamic running game that highlights lightning fast gameplay, beautifully rendered 3D animation, and endless replay value. This exotic endless running adventure puts players hand eye coordination and reaction skills to the test, as they race at breakneck speed across a lush jungle landscape, jumping and dodging obstacles for as long as they can!

Based in Florida - Pixel Palm Studios is excited today to announce the launch of Spirit Runner onto the App Store. Compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, this exotic endless running adventure puts players' hand eye coordination and reaction skills to the test, as they race at breakneck speed across a lush jungle landscape, jumping and dodging obstacles for as long as they can! Featuring rich 3D graphics, intuitive controls, and refreshingly challenging yet varying gameplay, Spirit Runner brings the best aspects of the running survival genre to the forefront, while accommodating both casual gamers and hardcore mobile gaming enthusiasts alike. Spirit Runner is currently available for download on the App Store for $0.99 in the Games category.

As accessible as it is addicting, Spirit Runner throws players into the shoes of Island Boy, and saying he loves to run - is an understatement. That said, the essence of the game is simple enough, help Island Boy to get as far as he can. The further players get - the higher their score climbs. The road ahead is anything but easy, and players will need to navigate Island Boy around roots and boulders, help him leap over rivers, and slide under rocks, all in the nick of time. Crash into any obstacle or fall into a river and the game is over! Another central dynamic of the game is the Spirit based health system. As players run, they collect positive spirit flames that boost their spirit power, keeping their health up and offering a special bonus every time players fill up their spirit gauge.

That's not the whole story though, as negative spirit flames are peppered throughout the jungle as well. Pick up one too many and Island Boy will stop in his tracks! Special power-ups are also available, pick one up and Island Boy becomes invincible, if only for a short time. Spirit Runner also boasts responsive gesture based controls, an in-depth scoring system, as well as full integration with Facebook and Twitter to enable players to share their achievements with friends instantly. Meanwhile, competitive runners can race for ultimate Spirit Runner domination via interactive Game Center leaderboards. Spirit Runner is primed to race into the hearts of mobile arcade aficionados and anyone else looking for a distraction from anything that is not fun.
