Flirty Birdys Pro - Unique Tower Defense Game - Published on 04/30/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Virtual Jungle LLC is proud to announce the release of Flirty Birdys Pro 1.0 for iOS, a unique Tower Defense game that is a bit different than most. Play as girl Flirty Birdys trying to shoot the handsome male birdys with love hearts before they can make it to the tunnel and escape. Flirty Birdys Pro features 30 large levels of gameplay, each with multiple waves of boy birdy attacks. Each Flirty Birdy tower can be upgraded several times and/or sold if you want to realign your defenses.

Belleville, New Jersey - Virtual Jungle LLC is proud to announce the release of Flirty Birdys Pro 1.0 for iOS, a unique Tower Defense game that is a bit different than most. That's because it's hunting season in the land of love. You play as girl "Flirty Birdys" trying to shoot the handsome male birdys (enemies) with love hearts before they can make it to the tunnel and escape - leaving you, well ... brokenhearted.

The girl birdys have to protect their "Love Tunnel" which has 100 hearts of strength. Each boy birdy that makes it to the love tunnel takes 10 hearts away. If all hearts are taken away on any level, it's game over and your Flirty Birdys will be left with broken hearts.

Flirty Birdys Pro features 30 challenging levels of increasingly difficult tower defense gameplay. There are 5 different girl "Flirty Birdy" turrets to "love attack" the boy birdys with as they try to make their way through each game map to the Love Tunnel. Each Flirty Birdy tower can be upgraded several times and/or sold if you want to realign your defenses. Each game starts you 300 star coins to spend on the various Flirty Birdys (30, 50, 60, 80, or 100 coins each). Your goal for each level is to flirt with each boy birdy by throwing love hearts at each boy birdy to eliminate them before they can escape through the love tunnel.

Although it might not sound that hard, this can be a bit of a difficult task because the boy birdys move at different speeds. Some boy birdys are fast, others slow, and some even faster. These factors combined with limited locations to place your Flirty Birdy turrets can make this family friendly game rather challenging. Flirty Birdys Pro features 30 large levels of gameplay, each with multiple waves of boy birdy attacks. And if you find yourself struggling to pass a level, you can purchase coin stars through in app purchase.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Flirty Birdys Pro 1.0 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Flirty Birdy Pro is a fun, family-friendly iOS Universal Tower Defense game that is sure to put a smile on your face. If you want to try your luck in this game of love, you can download it now. This game is also available for the Android in Google Play, and there are paid and free versions of this app in iTunes as well as Google Play.

Kickstarter: Elder Towers - Indie Deck-building RTS/RPG for iOS/Android - Published on 04/30/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Akashan Games announces the launch of its new Kickstarter project for Elder Towers for iOS and Android, a genre-blending deck-building third-person RTS game inspired by the old classics Magic: the Gathering - Shandalar and Sacrifice. Elder Towers offers the strategical complexity of a deck-building collectible card game, and translates the deep game mechanism into intuitive fast-paced gameplay with exciting visuals. The Kickstarter project was launched to gather funds and feedback for the game.

Hong Kong - Akashan Games is thrilled to announce the launch of its new Kickstarter project for Elder Towers, an indie game that is a hybrid between TCG, RTS, and RPG. It is primarily a real-time 3D interpretation of deck-building card game, with a free-roaming RPG campaign in which the players can adventure to gradually collect more spells, more power.

Features:
* Free-roaming single-player campaign
* Multiplayer duel
* 160 mind-boggling spells
* 104 summoned units, fully animated 3D characters
* 3 character classes with powerful class-specific feats
* Fast-paced gameplay designed for 5~10 minute matches
* No In-App Purchase lottery * All spells and items are earned through normal gameplay

Overview:
Elder Towers offers the strategical complexity of a deck-building collectible card game, and translates the deep game mechanism into intuitive fast-paced gameplay with exciting visuals. The focus of the game is about building a good deck of spells and choosing a good team of summons beforehand, and using the right tools at the right moment.

You play as a powerful mage who can turn the tide of battle with just one or two spells. You can do far more than just spamming fireballs and blizzards on your enemies. You can call forth a tornado to remove enemy creatures from the battlefield. You can conjure a dense mist to blind all creatures. You can feast on the soul of your opponent's summons to refill your mana. You can turn your summons into undying frenzied berserkers, or transform them into giants with massive strength. You can cut up your enemies with storm of blades, impale them with wall of spears.

Your opponents would not just be waves of mindless mobs. You will have wizard fights with powerful spellcasters, erecting magical shields and walls, countering spells, reflecting magic missiles, and so on.

To allow you to focus on the magical warfare, you will not be fettered with micromanagement of your summons. They will all act on their own: defender units will automatically engage enemies who get close to your base, bodyguard units will follow and protect you, attacker units will invade enemy base and attack any enemies on their path. Most creatures possess some unique powers, and may produce interesting combos with the spells.

You will gradually build up your arsenal of spells and summons by following the main campaign, or by just roaming around the four magical kingdoms and completing the procedurally-generated side quests, discovering powerful artifacts and learning special spellcasting feats. Gather the power, build your best deck, and test your mettle in online duels.

Kickstarter:
A Kickstarter project has been launched to gather funds and feedbacks for the game. Players are invited to make suggestions for interesting spells, and 8 spells will be created and included in the game, and be given to Kickstarter backers as exclusive rewards.

CityHour Takes Aim at Tinder and LinkedIn With New Round of Funding - Published on 04/30/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TrueBear Corporation's successful launch of its CityHour app promises early advantage over anticipated competitors such as Tinder and also does what the LinkedIn apps do not: arrange in-person meetings. CityHour ensures you connect to people with similar business interests and goals. On the heels of being honored at the MacWorld Innovation Showcase and seeing its user base grow by more than 600% over the past two months, the company announced its seed round of financing seeking a total of $1.5M.

San Jose, California - Following the successful launch of CityHour, its innovative business networking app that has experienced a 600% surge in users over the last two months, TrueBear Corporation today announced that it has opened its seed round of financing and is seeking a total of $1.5M. Initially backed with an Angel investment of $500K, CityHour has raised the standard of what business networking apps should do. In fact, a panel of experts at the recent Macworld/iWorld selected CityHour for their Innovation Showcase which featured only the best new products at the show.

Said Alex Lubinsky, Founder and CEO of TrueBear: "We believe the LinkedIn apps are a basic expansion of collecting contacts without the ability to truly connect via face-to-face meetings and as such, have missed a significant opportunity. Other social discovery companies like Tinder who have expressed interest in expanding into business networking may find it extremely challenging to go from the purported promiscuous to the professional."

Developed exclusively for arranging face-to-face business meetings - a critical inability found in competitive apps - CityHour fills a tremendous need as business professionals and job-seekers look for effective networking tools in a slow-moving economy. CityHour quickly syncs with your LinkedIn or Facebook account, and a customizable set of search criteria ensures you connect to people with similar business interests and goals. It can even find a nearby venue in which to meet.

Adds Lubinsky: "Our biggest growth has come from users located in the major U.S. business hubs, but we're also excited by the promising results coming from Europe and Asia. With this round of financing, we hope to quickly accelerate user acquisition and firmly establish CityHour as the premier business networking app on the market."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 12.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Free to download and free to use, CityHour 1.2 is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category. Versions for iPad and Android scheduled for later this year.

Pocket Mariner's SeaNav app sets sail on Mac - Published on 04/30/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pocket Mariner has launched the Mac OS version of its popular SeaNav charting and navigation app. With SeaNav, Mac-using boaters can explore, plan and navigate their trips in real-time. SeaNav shows ship positions via Pocket Mariner's real-time worldwide internet AIS feed. Sailors using SeaNav on their Macs will enjoy plotting their courses using full color high-resolution graphics of the latest NOAA ENC Digital Vector Marine charts covering the USA, including the Great Lakes.

Wales, United Kingdom - Pocket Mariner has launched the Mac OS version of its popular SeaNav charting and navigation app. With SeaNav, Mac-using boaters can explore, plan and navigate their trips in real-time. Sailors using SeaNav on their Macs will enjoy plotting their courses using full color high-resolution graphics of the latest NOAA ENC Digital Vector Marine charts covering the USA, including the Great Lakes.

SeaNav brings 21st century marine navigation to the Mac, enabling sailors to plot courses easily and smartly and helping make quicker and better informed decisions. The app uses the latest Digital Vector charts, which provide a wealth of benefits and advantages over raster charts. Details, distance and bearings of buoys, lights, bridges, depth contours, depth soundings, rocks, anchorage areas, NOAA weather buoys and other boats are just a mouse click away. Other useful information easily accessible in SeaNav includes tides, moon and sun times and weather.

Users can also connect a GPS unit to their Macs and watch as their boats move along in real-time on the chart and check SeaNav's Sailing HUD for their current position, Course Over Ground (COG), Speed Over Ground (SOG), Vector Made Good (VMG), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), Distance and bearing to next Waypoint. The app produces an alert when the vessel reaches each waypoint, plus provides auto-routing to the next waypoint. SeaNav supports external GPS via USB, Bluetooth and Wifi. SeaNav shows ship positions via Pocket Mariner's real-time worldwide internet AIS feed. SeaNav can also display AIS data from an onboard VHF AIS device via serial or WiFi.

A GPS is not required to work with SeaNav's charts. Once a course is plotted on the Mac, it can also be taken out to sea by sharing it with the mobile version of SeaNav on iPhone or iPad. Using SeaNav for Mac in conjunction with the iOS version creates the perfect marriage of large-screen route planning and 'on-the-go' usage on a mobile device.

Device Requirements:
* OS X 10.9 or later
* 9.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
SeaNav 1.0.1 for Mac is available from the Mac App Store in the Travel category for $19.99 (USD). The US version for iPhone and iPad is available for $9.99. A free version for iOS is also available, with charts for the USA and Europe available via In-app Purchase.

Users can download a story (without registering) from the latest or popular listings or by searching story titles and content. Users can view from these results, various characteristics about the story, e.g. the number of contributors, date of the last content addition, ratings and the number of views/downloads of the story. Once the story has been downloaded to the user's personal library it can be viewed in a book-style format. The user can query who has contributed which content visually.

A story can be rated so that other members can decide on whether it is worth reading or contributing. A user who registers can reserve the story provided they have the necessary permissions or editing has been set to public. A reservation is for a limited time as to ensure no one member blocks the progress of a story. A reminder is sent out once the halfway mark in the reservation has been reached. Corpus will automatically cancel the reservation if the reservation period has been exceeded and the member has not published their addition.

The new member area in Corpus provides a number of sections of useful information such as the stories created, the stories contributed to and stories that they have been given personal editing access by the creating author. Additionally they can view with which members they have collaborated on the same story. A profile page is provided for the members to record their preferences and so as to allow better retrieval of suitable collaborators when creating a story.

Creating a story is as simple as selecting the title, adding reading and writing permissions and choosing with whom to collaborate or to not collaborate at all. This allows customization for the following permissions:

* One member can write, and everyone can read
* One member can write and only one member can read (effectively like a diary)
* Everyone can read and everyone can write

The member has unlimited time to publish the first content of the story. Corpus does not interfere with the actual content in a story and it is up to the members to flag a story as having inappropriate content. Once a threshold has been reached the content is automatically removed from the story. Various administrative tools are provided as to provide a one-point access to the Corpus platform through the mobile application.

Corpus provides a friendly and useful environment for story collaboration. Marios Moutzouris from Hadokoa summarizes, "Story writing should not only be in the realm of a single author because the limit to a story can be the world's imagination.

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

Pricing and Availability:
