7 Sevens v1.0: Number Matching Game for iOS7 Devices Out Now - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent mobile game developer, Grumble Games today announces 7 Sevens exclusively for iOS7 devices. The goal of 7 Sevens is to create groups of like-numbered tiles, causing them to explode, clear from the board and score. Non-numbered blocks impede progress and each new round drops 7 random tiles for players to navigate. Triggering combos and bonuses allow for high scores in the millions. The game ends when the board is full and no more moves can be made.

Baltimore, Maryland - Independent mobile game developer, Grumble Games today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of 7 Sevens 1.0, a new title developed exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices running iOS7 or higher. 7 Sevens is a tile-matching puzzle game based around the simple concept of grouping like-numbered tiles together to clear them from the board. Unlike traditional match puzzlers the number of tiles you need to clear a group isn't set, but is determined by the number on the tile. Line 2 twos up and they explode from the board, but to clear sevens it takes 7 adjacent seven tiles. Thoughtful planning, swapping out the right tile and a bit of luck allows players to achieve massive high scores. 7 sevens is intended for casual gamers looking for something to fill a few minutes but is complex enough for hard-core puzzle fans.

While simplicity is at the heart of 7 Sevens design, the complexity quickly becomes apparent as players progress into deeper rounds of the game. Every 7 explosions that a player triggers progresses them to the next round. At the start of each round the player is awarded bonus points and 7 random tiles are dropped on the game board. The tiles dropped can help a user, for example, dropping that last seven in the perfect place to trigger a big explosion, or they can be grey blocks which are impediments that need to be cleared. Grey blocks are able to be cleared by triggering explosions next to them, which offers the perfect use for the 1 tile, which explodes on contact. The last element of game play is the tile swap. The tile swap is empty until the player taps it to save a tile for later. At any point thereafter the player can swap the current tile for one that has been saved.

7 Sevens is all about getting the highest score possible (and then bragging to your friends about it), and there are three ways to receive bonus points to inflate a score. As mentioned above, every time a player reaches a new round they are awarded bonus points, which is the first way. Second, players can trigger combos by strategically placing numbered tiles and grey blocks. The other benefit to triggering a combo is that it does not eat up a round marker, which is crucial for getting high scores in later rounds. The last way to boost a score is to trigger 7 of a particular type of grouping. For instance, the 7th time in a game a player triggers 7 sevens they get the big 49,000 point bonus.

Although no tutorial is necessary for a player to pick up 7 Sevens and begin playing a set of "How to Play" instructions have been included. There is also a detailed Stats page that tracks everything a player does including their top 10 high scores of all time, with date and time to track how long ago it was that they got that ridiculously high score. At the end of every game players have the option of sharing their high score on Facebook, Twitter, by text or through email. They also have the option to challenge their Game Center friends.

As a game is being played there is a live score stream at the bottom of the screen which is updated with scores from other players around the world from that day. The scores shown are skewed to friends of the player, but the score could be from anyone that has completed a game that day. This feature is not available on iPhone4 due to screen size restrictions.

The flat, beautiful look of 7 Sevens is directly inspired from Apple's update to iOS7. "On iOS7 launch day we were talking about what an iOS7 game would be like, because there were no games offered in the iOS7 featured section of the App Store. We believe '7 Sevens' is that game." said Mike Spotten, Creative Director at Grumble Games.

Features:
* Simple mechanics
* Beautiful Design
* Live Score Stream
* Integrated Social Sharing
* Game Center Challenges
*Optimized for iOS7

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 5.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
7 Sevens 1.0 is $1.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the App
Store in the Games category.

GunSonics! - Hearing Protection iPhone App for Shooting Sports - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based Essency Limited releases GunSonics! Hearing Protector App for iPhone. This unique app allows shooters to hear and talk naturally on the range or in the field, without risking hearing damage. GunSonics! is so smooth that you can hear conversations and range commands over gunshots, clearly with no drop out or stuttering. GunSonics! harnesses the huge computing power of an iPhone, to deliver a groundbreaking app that sets a new standard for safety in electronic ear protection.

London, United Kingdom - British Mobile App developer Essency Limited, makers of Awareness!(R) The Headphone App, is proud to announce GunSonics!(R) Hearing Protector App for iPhone, a unique app that allows shooters to hear and talk naturally on the range or in the field, without risking hearing damage.

iPhone App GunSonics!(R) blows away Expensive Electronic Ear Defenders:
* Listen, talk, and shoot with GunSonics!
* Unique hearing protection app delivers safe communication for gun users
* Sets new safety standards for electronic hearing protection

People shooting for fun or sport have a choice of being able to talk to each other, or risking serious hearing damage. Most choose to wear ear protectors, but these make conversation impossible and instruction difficult.

The solution to-date, has been expensive active electronic headsets with built-in microphones and amplification, but their safety is questioned as audio app pioneers Essency launch GunSonics! - see GunSonics! vs Commercial Active Ear Defenders on their website.

* Protects hearing while allowing conversation and environmental awareness
* Reduces the loudest gunfire to a 'pop' (10 second action video - here)
* Outperforms expensive electronic ear-defenders
* Save GBP100s / $100s against the cost of expensive electronic ear-defenders
* On the iTunes App Store now GBP6.99 UK / $9.99 USA

App Powered by iPhone
GunSonics! harnesses the huge computing power of an iPhone, to deliver a groundbreaking app that sets a new standard for safety in electronic ear protection.

Essency co-founder, Alex Georgiou commented: "The safety comparison chart on www.gunsonics.com shows that the immense processing power of the iPhone simply blows away the tech used in electronic ear protectors."

How GunSonics! works:
1. The user wears passive ear protectors over the top of standard Apple iPhone earphones, providing the protection against gunshot blasts.

2. GunSonics! uses the headset microphone to listen to the outside world and feeds sounds and conversation to the user in real-time.

3. When there is a shot, GunSonics! sucks the harmful energy out of the gun blast.

4. Conversation is never interrupted by gunfire, users hear what is going on around them and are not exposed to damaging sound levels.

Alliance Surveys Enterprise IT Admins about Managing Mobile Devices - Published on 11/07/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Enterprise Device Alliance today opened its 3rd annual survey to learn from IT administrators about the deployment and management of smartphones and tablets in their organizations. The survey asks about the projected growth in the number of devices, the impact on IT of managing mobile devices, the barriers to broad acceptance, and the challenges of managing these devices. IT administrators are encouraged to contribute to the survey. The survey will be online until November 30, 2013.

Sunnyvale, California - The Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA) today opened its 3rd annual survey to learn from IT administrators about the deployment and management of smartphones and tablets in their organizations. The survey asks about the projected growth in the number of devices, the impact on IT of managing mobile devices, the barriers to broad acceptance, and the challenges of managing these devices.

The results of the survey will provide a view of the issues that IT departments confront as they accommodate the increased use of mobile devices in their enterprise. IT administrators are encouraged to contribute to the survey. The survey will be online until November 30, 2013.

"The rapid adoption of smartphones and tablets is challenging enterprises to deliver secure, mobile access to information while protecting customer data and ensuring the organizations' integrity and productivity," said T. Reid Lewis, president of the Enterprise Device Alliance. "With this annual survey, we want to hear the most urgent priorities and concerns from those dealing directly with the issue to allow us to analyze how the environment has changed over the last few years."

In a survey conducted last year by the EDA related to this topic, IT administrators asserted that the number one reason that limits organizations' willingness to support employees using a mobile device was "devices don't meet our security standards" (65%). Complete results of the surveys from 2011 and 2012 and other surveys are available in the Enterprise Device Alliance Resource Center.

The Alliance will present and discuss the survey results in a webinar scheduled for December 12 at 2 pm ET/11 am PT. Sign up for the webcast online.

The Enterprise Device Alliance (EDA) was founded as the Enterprise Desktop Alliance in 2008 initially focusing on the integration of Macintosh into enterprise IT infrastructure. In September 2011, the members renamed the organization the Enterprise Device Alliance to reflect their added support for the newly popular iPhones, iPads and Android devices in addition to the Mac. The Alliance provides information to IT managers and administrators about the ways they can leverage their Windows infrastructure, management tools and expertise to easily integrate Macs, iPhones, iPads and Android devices into their organizations. Member companies include Absolute Software, Acronis, Centrify, and Parallels. For more information, visit the EDA online. Copyright (C) 2012 The Enterprise Device Alliance. All Rights Reserved.
