Alpharetta, Georgia - Norcon is proud to announce the release of Minion Runner 1.2, its new iOS game. Minion Runner is a endless runner cum shooter game and it has support for playing with friends. Players take control of a greenish yellow minion that looks a bit like the characters from "Despicable Me." Players control the minion and get him to run, jump and even fly through each course of the game. Players can collect coins as they make their way through the game. These coins may then be spent on various power ups. The game also has a micro-transaction system which allows players to buy more coins if they want the power ups but don't currently have enough coins.

The "endless runner" style means that you can play for as long as you want in order to continually challenge your friends. The style also means that you'll be constantly running forward no matter what. Tapping the screen makes the minion jump, and holding the screen for longer makes the minion jump higher. Pushing the green "S" button in the bottom right corner of the screen makes the minion shoot. This is the sum total of the controls in the game, so it's easy to learn but hard to master.

In the top left corner of the game screen you have a list of your shells, as well as how long you've been going for. The point of the game is to jump, shoot and stay clear of obstacles and enemies. You can collect gems and just straight up power ups as you go along as well. You have three lives for each round, and if you run into an enemy such as an insect you lose a life. If you lose all of your lives the "endless runner" game ends. Often people mostly just try to get further than their last furthest point. Examples of powerups you can get include magnets that help pull coins closer to you, or a jetpack that lets you fly. You can also use bumpers to jump higher or even a magic hat for getting through obstacles. Various laser guns are available for shooting down your enemies as well. Each one costs you about 250 coins, or you can purchase the powerups through micro-transactions in the Minion store.

Key Features:
* Many Unique and individual enemies to shoot down with your complement of laser guns
* Fly over your enemies with a jet pack, or move through obstacles with a magic hat
* Complete Minion Shop is full of powerups like coin attracting magnets for 250 coins each
* Collect coins and find jewels
* Beautiful graphics and sounds
* Fast and fun gameplay - Non-stop action
* Records High Score
* Many Unique and individual enemies to shoot down with your complement of laser guns

Device Requirements:

Pricing and Availability:

Yeti and Pigs 1.0 released for iPhone - Defend Helpless Piglets - Published on 04/26/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer, Andrey Ledovskoy today introduces Yeti and Pigs 1.0, a new exciting and dynamic game developed for iOS. In Yeti and Pigs, players have to defend helpless piglets against the invasion of yetis. This action game takes place in a snowy forest, whose territory is divided into two parts: a village with pigs occupies one half, and a camp of yetis is on the other side. Your goal will be to defend against swift raids of savages by throwing snowballs fast and accurately.

Taganrog, Russian Federation - Independent developer, Andrey Ledovskoy today is proud to announce the release of Yeti and Pigs 1.0, a new exciting and dynamic game developed for iOS. There is a small village on the snow-capped peaks high in the mountains. The inhabitants of the village grow world-famous high breed pigs. And thanks to that, since ancient times they have been known as really hardworking people. Everything would be fine if only right next to them there was no tribe of terribly hungry inventive yetis that are looking into capturing a pig or two.

In this game you are given the opportunity to serve as one of the villagers who is ready to repel the annoying monsters at any time of the day or night. You will also have nothing but ordinary snow to serve you as a weapon. Who would've thought that ordinary snowballs would be enough to repel such savages!

If you think that confronting the tribe of yetis will be quite simple, you are wrong. As we all know the progress never stops. This phrase is quite applicable to the yetis. Every day they do their best to not only improve tactics of capturing pigs, but also work hard on making their gear more advanced, by using only what they have in their disposal.

Do not forget that sooner or later the day ends and the night dawns. And the night is a favorite time for the tribe of yetis. Right when the darkness comes, the yetis throw all their might into getting even with you for the day of failure. At nightfall, they become more agile and you can only rely on your good reflexes and high accuracy.

Features:
* Addictive Gameplay
* Alternation Day and Night
* Variety of Enemies
* Changing Weather

The climate of mountain peaks is known for its severity and unpredictability. Windy weather is no surprise. When you aim at your next bigfoot, do not forget to take the wind into account, or your snowballs will simply not reach the intended target. The result would be obvious: a happy monster would just get away with its bootyas if nothing had happened. In the meantime you can do nothing but to accept the loss and move on.

As the game progresses, you will encounter a variety of items, which can increase the chances that your pigs will not become the next extraordinary dinner for the yetis. But do not forget that your accuracy is the decisive factor in this game. Be careful and good luck in your difficult endeavor.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 38.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Yeti and Pigs 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
