IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Barking Mouse Studio today releases Lost Toys for iOS, a groundbreaking new 3D puzzler that has already garnered numerous awards including Best Game Design at the Tokyo Game Show Sense of Wonder Night. The mentally engaging gameplay comes alive in three dimensions, revealing a haunting world of hope and profound beauty, depth, and challenge. Only a precise sequence of skillful rotations will allow puzzle fans to progress through the 4 chapters and 32 levels of this gothic masterpiece.

San Francisco, California - Barking Mouse Studio today releases Lost Toys, a groundbreaking new 3D puzzler that has already garnered numerous awards including Best Game Design at the Tokyo Game Show Sense of Wonder Night. The mentally engaging Rubik's-cube style gameplay comes alive in three dimensions, revealing a haunting world of hope and profound beauty, depth, and challenge. Lost Toys is available exclusively for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch on the App Store.

Players progress through a surreal room populated by discarded, mixed-up toys beckoning to be reassembled. With the flick of a finger, players manipulate, examine, and reconstruct the toys in order to reveal their original forms. Only a precise sequence of skillful rotations will allow puzzle fans to progress through the 4 chapters and 32 levels of this gothic masterpiece.

"The way you interact with the puzzles is completely natural," says game designer Danielle Swank. "Instead of buttons or gestures to rotate the pieces, Lost Toys allows you to touch and manipulate them as if your fingers were right there inside the screen."

The result is a truly engaging and interactive puzzle game unlike anything on iOS. A chilling soundtrack by Peter Rudenko adds to the game's distinctive appeal. In addition to winning Best Game Design, Lost Toys has received accolades for Most Artistic at the Codame Developer Showcase and the Indie Prize for Most Promising Game at Casual Connect San Francisco.

While critics laud the unique gameplay and breathtakingly beautiful design, gamers will notice that Lost Toys eschews many annoyances that often distract from other puzzle games.

"There are no scores, no ads, no competition - not even a timer," explains Jim Fleming, the other half of the Barking Mouse design duo. "Levels are challenging, but solvable, and a clever hint system reveals only as much of the answer as you need to move forward if you reach your wit's end."

Language Support:
Lost Toys supports English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish and Turkish languages.

Device Requirements:
* iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (5th gen) or later
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 94.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Lost Toys 1.0 is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Barking Mouse Studio is Danielle Swank and Jim Fleming. Lost Toys - the first game the pair has spent more than a weekend working on - is the result of months of intense discussions and hand gestures. (Danielle acted out the opening scene by pretending she was an airplane and zooming around.) Programming and design duties are shared by both, as Danielle is an artist that took math classes for fun, and Jim is an engineer that creates art.

Middle School Writing iPad App Builds Strong Writing and Thinking Skills - Published on 01/09/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A proven app that methodically teaches critical thinking and writing, it improves the teaching of essay writing. Students learn the best writing begins with solid idea development and argument construction. The app makes the organizational process of writing a logical, fluid process to learn. For iPad and iPod, volume purchase the app for your students and school today!

Charlottesville, Virginia - Middle School Writing 2.0 by Niles Technology Group is entering its third year of continuous sales in the App Store. A proven app that methodically teaches critical thinking and writing, it improves the teaching of essay writing. Students learn the best writing begins with solid idea development and argument construction. The app makes the organizational process of writing a logical, fluid process to learn.

Bring up the subject of writing essays and students automatically let out a groan. Why? Because just the thought of struggling to put the correct sentences together is not a fun idea. Middle School Writing 2.0 takes the pressure off of teachers and students by providing a detailed, easy-to-follow road-map starting with how to dissect a paper topic all the way to editing and proofreading techniques. Designed to work with any writing curriculum, schools can now focus on training the "writing mind" instead of answering elementary questions such as "What do I do next?" Save time and improve students' composition with Niles Technology writing apps.

"The issue with many writing products is the lack of follow-through products that employ the same pedagogy," explains Michael A. Niles, president of Niles Technology Group. "Students may get help from one product, but the next product they use is usually completely different. Therefore, many skills and protocols learned in one product are often left behind, and the student does not build very well on the previous exercises. Niles apps have a scaffolding system that increases the instructional detail as the essay types become more intricate. Consistency in methodology reinforces lessons learned and automatically builds on prior exercises. All-in-all, students retain and bring forward more skills because of our pedagogically-consistent product design."

Parents, teachers and schools are discovering the efficacy of Niles Technology apps. Each month, school volume purchases of the apps increase, which indicates that the use of mobile technology in schools is becoming more commonplace. Parents are also catching on because Essay Workstation 3.0 is the No. 1 gifted app in the Niles inventory. Middle School Writing 2.0 and High School Writing 4.0 are virtually tied as solid No. 2 bestsellers, with both parents and schools purchasing the apps.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Middle School Writing 2.0 is $18.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

What was missing badly, however, was a mobile companion app. With the release of Taskdeck for iOS, I can now manage my tasks on all my devices and Macs, all smoothly kept in sync by the wonderful new Cloud sync feature."

Taskdeck employs a very simple structural model of lists and tasks, where related tasks are grouped into lists. Each list carries a badge that shows the number of open, due, or overdue tasks. The total number of due or overdue tasks is also reflected by an application icon badge number, to focus attention on items that require immediate action.

For prioritization of tasks, Taskdeck employs the simple principle 'Order = Priority'. To facilitate this in an efficient manner, tasks can be dragged up or down a list at any time. Besides essential task list app features such as notes, due dates, or searching and filtering, Taskdeck also offers a tagging system for categorization of tasks, image or file attachment (a feature not commonly found in task list apps), Dropbox integration for attachment synchronization, and zero-interaction Cloud sync.

Karl Traunmueller adds: "Very few task list apps get sync right, at least at the granularity I expect from a proper sync implementation. I wanted flawless, near-realtime sync that requires no user attention whatsoever. To put it more blatantly: sync that doesn't suck. And I'm extremely pleased with the result, Taskdeck's sync is pretty amazing."

Changes to tasks or lists are replicated almost instantly, typically in less than three seconds. Subtle animations hint the user at where changes occur: if, for example, a task gets moved within a list on a Mac, the task will animate to that same slot on a connected iPhone or iPad just seconds later.

The infrastructure that makes this all possible is called Taskdeck Cloud. User who want to use Cloud sync need to sign up by providing an email and a password. A free 15-day Cloud sync trial is activated for all newly created accounts. After that trial period, Taskdeck Cloud requires a paid subscription that costs $2.99 (USD) per 30 days, available as an in-app purchase.

Features:
* Drill-down user interface for efficient task management
* Simple organization principle: related tasks are grouped into lists
* Simple prioritization principle: order (of tasks) equals priority
* Badges on each list indicate the number of open, due, or overdue tasks
* Due or overdue tasks are signaled by an application icon badge number
* Effortless drag & drop prioritization of tasks
* Tags for quick categorization of tasks
* Image, file, or URL attachments
* Dropbox integration for file and image attachment sync
* QuickLook preview of attachments

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Supports iPhone 3.5", iPhone 4", iPad, and iPad Retina
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 4.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Taskdeck 1.0.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
