Kiev, Ukraine - RunServer today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Mind Games 2.0.1, an update to their top-ranked puzzle game for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices. With intriguing music and sound effects setting the tone, Mind Games challenges players to conquer more than 255 levels of more than 20 different, extremely difficult games. These games are a collection of brain teasers, riddles, and puzzles, and include new variants on well-known childhood favorites such as Fifteen and Reversi.

Feature Highlights:
* Completely updated and well-designed User Interface
* 20 different types of challenging puzzles
* More than 255 levels of varying difficulty
* Mysterious and evocative music and sound effects
* Complex and visually-pleasing graphics
* Includes inspirational quotes
* Retina display supported

Version 2.0.1 features a completely redesigned game of brain-twisting levels. In addition to a brand new user interface, Mind Games includes 3 new games and 75 additional levels added to the app. There is also support for iOS 7, retina display, and iPhone 5. Additionally, Mind Games has reduced the number of ads to ensure a more rewarding gaming experience.

Mind Games challenges players from the start by requiring them to solve the title page puzzle before proceeding forward to the first game. According to the developer's statistics, 9 out of 10 players are unable to solve the title page's puzzle. Each puzzle includes directions on how to play each game and an inspiration quotation. Sound/vibration controls and the ability to replay levels are available from the Settings menu.

In the event that a player is unable to solve the puzzle, Mind Games offers several options to bypass the level. In-app purchases from the Settings menu allow players to easily skip the current puzzle or disable in-game ads. The player can also Google for hints to the solution. Finally, they can press the top-left Reset button 100 times in a row to skip a level.

"Mind Games is a set of very hard puzzles and riddles designed to confound the smartest of brains," warns RunServer founder, Alexei Garbuzenko. "Mind Games is perfect for kids, adults, and anyone seeking a new and exciting puzzle challenge. Mind Games' collection of brain teasers, riddles, and puzzles are well thought-out and include stunning graphics. The overall air of mystery is also cultivated by the music and script as players attempt to solve each riddle. We believe players will need to seriously rack their brains to work their way through each level of Mind Games and quickly agree that it's a game for Smart People Only.

"Mind Games was previously released by a well-known publisher as iMind Games 1.3," Garbuzenko continues. "However, we had to abandon it due to issues with the publisher. Now that we are on our own with 2.0.1, we have incorporated new features as well as name change to match other platforms and stores. In addition to iOS, Mind Games is also available on Google, Amazon, Samsung, Blackberry, Windows 8 and Windows Phone."

Wine Discovery App Wine4.Me Takes Guesswork Out of Buying Great Wine - Published on 06/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VineSleuth today introduces Wine4.Me 1.1 for iOS, a mobile wine discovery app that makes selecting and buying a delicious bottle of wine a breeze. Wine4.Me does this by analyzing characteristics of the user's current favorite wines to create a unique taste profile, which is then used to provide a personalized ranking of all of the wines in the app's database. Wine4.Me's wine selections are widely available at many grocery stores and wine outlets.

Houston, Texas - VineSleuth today introduced Wine4.Me, a mobile wine discovery app that makes selecting and buying a delicious bottle of wine a breeze ... every time. Wine4.Me does this by analyzing characteristics of the user's current favorite wines to create a unique taste profile, which is then used to provide a personalized ranking of all of the wines in the app's database. Users can then filter their results by grape type, color, food pairing, and more. As the user rates wines they try, the app learns from these ratings to be more precise with their taste profile and in turn with rankings.

"It can be a huge challenge for casual wine drinkers to find a wine they are sure to like-- they don't know whose palates and opinions to trust," said Amy Gross, Founder of VineSleuth. "With Wine4.Me, we've removed the uncertainty by offering truly personalized wine rankings based on the individual's taste profile. We know they'll love these wines because they're based on what they already like."

Each wine in Wine4.Me's extensive database is objectively analyzed by expert wine evaluators based on dozens of unique characteristics (not perceived quality) and each evaluator is able to repeat these results with an industry leading 90 percent or higher.

Lexulous Spells Its Way To 6 Million Users And A Super New Version - Published on 06/04/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Popular crossword game Lexulous unveils new version Super Lexulous that reimagines game play and adds major bonuses. In the game update players will receive more tiles and a larger board. Additionally, Lexulous is enhancing the social features of the platform by adding photo sharing, in order to cater to its community of users that have already shared 500 million messages. The new update in Super Lexulous also includes push notifications.

Cupertino, California - Lexulous, the popular crossword game, announces reaching the 6 million user milestone and the launch of a new version called Super Lexulous. This new version will help users improve their skills by analyzing player's game play after the match is over. Users are now able to view all the moves they played and see the best moves they missed, helping players become Lexulous experts.

Lexulous is an extremely popular game, with more than five million games played in April 2014 alone. Additionally it's a very social app, with over 500 million messages shared between players. Now Lexulous is taking social to the next level by allowing users to share pictures as well.

Lexulous, is an online crossword game and mobile app. The game allows users to play with their Facebook friends, random players, or against the computer. "The Lexulous community is a happy one with new users joining everyday, the game is very challenging and fun for people of all ages," said Lexulous co-founder, Rajat Agarwalla. "Our game allows people to connect with each other and especially unites families and friends."

In the new Super Lexulous update players will receive a total of 178 tiles instead of 89 tiles they get in Lexulous. The game board will be 21x21 grid instead of 15x15 as in Lexulous. The bigger board has more premium squares, for example, quadruple word and letter score spaces. This enables players to score a higher total. Strategy wise, it will make more sense for players to focus on premium squares rather than bingos (using all given letters to create one word), as the importance of a 50 point bonus is slightly reduced.

One important feature of Lexulous is the push notifications. The game allows users to play their turn and close the app. Then, after their opponents play their turn, Lexulous sends a notification to inform users they can pick up game play. Users can pick up the game across multiple devices and even finish their game play via email. This makes it easy to play multiple games at the same time. Some extreme Lexulous fans play over 100 games at once.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 11.9 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Lexulous Word Game 5.11 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
