Ant Smash Up - Free Multiplayer game for iPad iPhone & iPod touch - Published on 12/02/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ah, those long hot summer days when all you have to do is relax in the park and chow down on your favourite sandwich...but wait! An army of insects has already devoured your ham, mustard, cheese and pickle on rye bloomer! I guess you should have practiced your squishing skills on Bluemoon Studio's Ant Smash Up, huh? Bluemoon Studios today is proud to introduce Ant Smash Up 1.1 for iOS. The object of this game is to prevent the hordes of insects from sinking their fangs into your snack.

Coomera, Australia - As you may have guessed from the title, this game is not for insect lovers but more for the foodies out there who don't like to see a crumb go to waste. The object of this fun and addictive little game is to prevent the hordes of insects that run at your sandwich from sinking their fangs into your lovingly prepared snack. You do this by simply squashing the little buggers with your thumbs, fingers or any other implement that you have to hand (yes, including your hand).

The soundtrack is set to tense, electro stylings and it is over these pounding beats that you'll hear the squelching noise as you crush each insidious wave of ants. I particularly like the sound effects that you hear when crushing a bee, a resigned, "Ouuww..." as it's flattened into your blanket. The game progresses as you stop more and more different types of insects and you accumulate points depending on which zone you squash them in.

I really enjoy the Multiplayer mode in which you can create a profile and play against other online gamers in live tournaments; you can also challenge your Facebook friends to contend in a real time tournament. Ant Smash Up is also suitable for the little ones, so you can upgrade to the Kids Zone feature that removes all of the ads in the free game and allow your children to play in an unlimited setting without losing any lives.

All in all, it's a fabulously fun game and considering that it's free, there's not a lot to stop you downloading it; just think of all of the sandwiches that you'll save next summer...

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5
* 40.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Ant Smash Up 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Long Island, New York - AlphaDigits has named the top rated mobile apps for the month of November 2013.

AlphaDigits releases the list of top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. Now, it has listed five top rated mobile apps for the month of November. Here is the list

pCloud (5/5): This app will enable users to safely store their data in a single location with no limits when it comes to file sizes. With it they can get 10 GB of storage space at their disposal for free immediately after signing up with the option of purchasing extra space by enrolling for annual subscription plans that will boost their storage to a maximum of 1 TB.

Holistic Yoga (4.8/5): It helps users understand various elements of Yoga and enable a holistic progress on the path of physical fitness, agility and healing. Holistic Yoga is a handy app for all those who wish to practice, understand and begin the journey of practicing Yoga as a Holistic Lifestyle. All you need to do is download the app and then sign up for free!

Looped Out! (4.7/5): Looped Out is a challenging and addictive brain puzzle game that lets users create infinite loops and collect as many Gluups as possible. They have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. It can keep players glued up to their devices for hours. You can post your score online on Facebook or on Game Center to see who scores the highest.

Celeb Tweet TV (4.5/5): Celeb Tweet TV lets users keep up on all the latest from their favorite celebs. It is powered by Stevie, which basically scours for all of the social media content related to celebrities, and puts it together into its own TV channel. Once in the channel, they are reminded of any other news channel they would see on TV, only dedicated to the person that they have chosen.

Thesaurus Word Map (4.2/5): Thesaurus Word Map offers something that a conventional thesaurus doesn't: visual appeal. Instead of the usual format of simply matching a certain word with synonyms, the presentation is in a word map format, making the word hunt more engaging. Even without internet connection, this word map can function fully, extracting synonym after synonym from an extensive English database.

Joe Ellen, an editor at AlphaDigits said, "After adding a few more last month, now we offer Featured Review, Review Campaign, Explainer Video and Forum promotion (for mobile apps) services." App developers can contact AlphaDigits through the onsite form to get their apps reviewed. They can contact by mail or the contact form to avail other marketing services.
