Mercury Intermedia Launches Crossly for iPhone and iPod touch - Published on 07/25/14
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nashville based Mercury Intermedia today introduces Crossly 1.0, a free competitive crosswords game for iOS devices. Crossly combines the classic crossword format with head-to-head competition, as two players race to occupy the board with each correct answer. Crossly leverages Apple's Game Center to connect players with friends, and draws from tens of thousands of clues curated by respected crossword constructor Ben Tausig to randomly generate unique boards on the fly for optimized replay value.
Nashville, Tennessee - Mercury Intermedia, one of the world's leading mobile development and design agencies, today announced the launch of Crossly, a free competitive crosswords game for iPhone and iPod touch. Crossly marks the first direct-to-consumer release for Mercury Intermedia and combines the classic crossword format with head-to-head competition, as two players race to occupy the board with each correct answer.
"We're thrilled to release Crossly for iPhone and iPod touch," said Stephen Tallent, President and CTO, Mercury Intermedia. "Crosswords is already the most popular and well known word game in the world, and Crossly's easy gameplay and friendly competition will endear the game to a whole new audience."
Crossly leverages Apple's Game Center to connect players with friends, and draws from tens of thousands of clues curated by respected crossword constructor Ben Tausig to randomly generate unique boards on the fly for optimized replay value. Crossly's clean design and fluid animations, along with the following features, create an experience that word game enthusiasts will love:
Penciling: Penciling allows players to work on the board at any time, changing answers and adjusting their strategy as more words are completed. All penciled words are saved, even when the app is offline.
Peeks: For hard-to-guess clues, players may use one Peek per turn to reveal a letter of their choice. That letter is only visible to the player who initiates the Peek. Bonus Peeks are awarded for completing games and sharing Crossly via social media, or Peek Packs may be purchased in-app for Crossly's most avid fans.
Steal & Taunt: When a player misses a word, their opponent may choose to steal for an extra turn and the chance to send a personalized photo Taunt. In the interest of privacy, Taunts may only be sent between Game Center friends.
Passing: If a player gets stuck, they may choose to pass their turn. In order to advance gameplay, a single letter is randomly revealed on the board to both players when a turn is passed.
Accessibility: Apple's VoiceOver technology is fully integrated into every aspect of gameplay, making Crossly one of the most robust crossword experiences for people with visual disabilities.
About Ben Tausig:
Ben Tausig is the author of Penguin Classics Crossword Puzzles, Gonzo Crosswords, and Crosswords from the Underground: 72 Puzzles from Alternative Newspapers. He is a freelance puzzle constructor living in New York City. He creates a weekly feature called 'Ink Well' distributed in alternative weeklies across the continent in addition to editing the weekly American Values Club xword (avxwords.com).

Flux V - Available Immediately - Published on 07/25/14
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Melbourne based The Escapers today announce Flux V, the long awaited major update to its flagship web design application for Mac OS X. Flux can work with everything from a modern site using HTML5 and CSS3 to legacy sites built on older technologies. In development for nearly 2 years, version 5 comes with a totally redesigned user interface, fully 64-bit, ARC-compliant and multi-threaded, brand new Master Elements system, Crowd Sourced Code and so much more.
Melbourne, Australia - It's with enormous pleasure that The Escapers release the very long-awaited Flux V. Flux V follows on from the most successful version of Flux yet, Flux 4. Flux V has been in development for nearly 2 years, and faced many challenges along that path. During that development period The Escapers moved from London, UK to sunny Melbourne, Australia and while we tried to minimise the impact on development, delays were inevitable.
However, the time has come now to release Flux V to not only our loyal users but also to newcomers to Flux too.
Flux V comes with a totally redesigned user interface. It's more tuned for use as a full-screen application, more compact for ever more popular, smaller laptop screens. We've changed the appearance to fit perfectly with Mavericks and we're tuning for Yosemite right now.
But appearance is only one of many areas we've changed. Flux V has seen many technical, under the hood changes too:
Flux V is now fully 64-bit, fully ARC-compliant and multi-threaded. This means Flux is faster, more stable, and will make better use of the multiple cores in your modern Mac.
Flux V has re-worked the core feature set. FreeCode is the only way Flux works now, this means non-standard HTML is fully editable. It means that Flux can work with everything from a modern site using HTML5 and CSS3 to legacy sites built on older technologies.
Flux V has a brand new Master Elements system. The new Master Elements system works in both CSS and HTML files, and lets you use elements of one page in another page and when the original page is changed, Flux can apply those changes to the rest of the pages that use those elements. Flux V has changed how all this works, we now use HTML comments to isolate the elements, so Master Elements now work with any server-side scripting language you use, any non-standard CSS or XHTML you use. Simply, Flux V gets out of your way and lets you work your way.
Flux V has Crowd Sourced Code. A brand new idea at The Escapers to let users submit their own code to other Flux V users, this let's us The Escapers more easily distribute code snippets and ideas, but also users in the Flux community help one another with their sites.
Flux V has changed how your site synchronizes from your Mac to your server, it's multi-threaded, fast, and based on solid UNIX underpinnings.

Documentary Explores the Evolution, Proliferation, and Art of Apps - Published on 07/25/14
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Filmmakers Jedidiah Hurt and Jake Schumacher have taken a step to uncovering different sides to the cultural awareness of apps with the launch of their documentary, "App: The Human Story." Although some apps seem trivial and inconsequential, the details of our software says a lot about who we are as humans. Apps have changed how we live our lives and they will undoubtedly shape our future. The filmmakers are currently raising money on Kickstarter to complete the film.
Long Beach, California - There is no doubt you're reading this press release on a software application. It's safe to say that apps are transforming the way we live. Filmmakers Jedidiah Hurt and Jake Schumacher have taken a step to uncovering different sides to the cultural awareness of apps with the launch of their documentary, "App: The Human Story".
"Since the first computer, humanity has been fashioning digital tools to extend our capabilities and augment our reality. Thanks to these digital applications, mankind has surged forward in understanding of ourselves, the world, and what lies beyond," said Jake Schumacher, filmmaker and co-director.
Apps have captured the attention of the globe. Although some apps seem trivial and inconsequential, the details of our software says a lot about who we are as humans. Apps have changed how we live our lives and they will undoubtedly shape our future.
Just as apps have made its way to the world stage, a small community of developers has emerged as modern day artisans. Their obsession over the details of every interaction and pixel has given these unlikely leaders a voice in shaping software in a way that respects what it means to be human. A few of the app industry supporters of the documentary include:
John Gruber - A prolific thinker and writer on all things Apple and design at daringfireball.net. John is also one third of the award winning software company Q-Branch.
Marco Arment - Known for building great products (Tumblr, Instapaper, The Magazine) and somewhat notorious for having them sell, Marco is a relentless indie developer at the top of his game.
Bjorn Jeffery - Co-founder and CEO of Toca Boca, a forward-thinking toy company that's found huge success by bypassing the cruft and simply delighting kids and parents with beautiful, fun apps.
"App creation has become the new art form for our generation. This is the story of the cultural phenomenon that touches all our lives," said Jedidiah Hurt, filmmaker and co-director. "We are hopeful the documentary will resonate with anyone, from those who use apps daily, to those actually creating them, with the goal of finishing the film in late 2015."
Hurt and Schumacher are currently raising $100,000 through Kickstarter to complete the film and have already raised almost 71 percent of the funds for production. They are currently looking for backers and sponsors.
"We aim to delight our sponsors for helping us make this film a reality. We will be actively promoting our Kickstarter sponsors for the next year-and-a-half on our website, Twitter, Facebook, Backer Updates and other App related outlets. Also, each sponsor will have a permanent home on our website," said Jedidiah Hurt, filmmaker and co-director.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stupid Pigeon has already conquered more than 15 million players worldwide and is now back on iOS with Raider of the Lost Egg 1.0.1. Still crazy, still casual, still social! Using a single finger, players will have to help Stupid Pigeon get his baby back. Players will travel through 4 different neighborhoods and will be challenged in over 75 levels available at launch. The game will benefit from regular additional level and new challenges.
Cupertino, California - French social and mobile gaming studio Adictiz unveils Stupid Pigeon 2: Raider of The Lost Egg on iOS, 4 years after the stunning launch of the first episode of Stupid Pigeon on Facebook.
It's All About The - Crazy - Pitch:
It is on a bright sunny morning that Stupid Pigeon discovers his paternity. Then, the most predictable happens: Stupid Pigeon loses his newborn baby egg, being too busy setting a trap for his favorite victim Gary! Things later turn from bad to worse when Stupid Pigeon blows up the entire plastic egg factory where Gary is employed. Thenceforth, confrontation is inevitable between the both to be the first one to find the Lost Egg.
A Casual and Addictive Gameplay:
Using a single finger, players will have to help Stupid Pigeon get his baby back. The game requires a bit of skill and some acute observation to find the best path to the anguished father. It is one thing to throw the egg from A to B, it is another to avoid the different obstacles using ricochet without making scrambled eggs. Players will travel through 4 different neighborhoods and will be challenged in over 75 levels available at launch. The game will benefit from regular additional level and new challenges. The business model is freemium.
Features:
* Explore more than 75 levels

Stupid Pigeon was launched as a spin off of Space Dog game in 2010 and reached sky high results with over 15 million players. The brand has more than 3.3 million fans from all around the globe on Facebook.
"Our team is proud to unveil another Stupid Pigeon episode. We tried to push the enveloppe on the emotions conveyed by the Stupid Pigeon throughout the game while challenging the players to compensate for his stupidity. We put a special emphasis too on players interactivity by adding the latest Facebook functionalities." claims Charles Christory, CEO et founder of Adictiz.

Mr. Painter Takes Users on a Unique Journey of Mystery and Fun - Published on 07/25/14
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mr. Painter 1.0 from Those Pixels invites users to help Jepegu Painter travel through give spectacular game worlds, unlock 1500 patterns, and explore a mysterious diary that reveals one astonishing secret after another. There are plenty of secrets to uncover, including some that are totally unpredictable and thoroughly unforgettable. This fun, original and addictive new app is available now in the App Store at no-cost.
Cupertino, California - After much anticipation, the inventive and creative developers at Those Pixels have released Mr. Painter in the App Store, and unleashed a unique new world of curiosity, discovery, mystery and fun. Unlike anything that the app world has ever seen before, Mr. Painter is partly game, partly puzzle, and 100% addictive. Users must help Jepegu Painter (a.k.a. Mr. Painter) travel through five spectacular game worlds, each with its own unique quirks and patterns. In total, there are a whopping 1500 patterns to unlock, including some that the folks at Those Pixels promise are the most insane and craziest ever imagined.
However, the goal isn't exclusively to stay awake all night solving patterns (although this is certainly part of the app's delightful appeal). It's really about unlocking the pages of Jepegu's diary - page by page - to help him discover who is truly is. There are plenty of secrets to uncover, including some that are totally unpredictable and thoroughly unforgettable, such as how Jepegu can adopt some features and styles of famous painters like Velazquez or Van Gogh.
Other Mr. Painter special features include:
* Power-ups to help make difficult patterns easier to solve, and catch a glimpse of the next puzzle on the horizon
* The ability to unlock the app's "Endless Mode" in each of its five worlds in order to achieve higher and higher scores
* Integrated social networking to connect with friends and share scores via Facebook and Twitter
* Outstanding graphics and sound effects that bring the iPad/iPhone screen to life
* A steady stream of no-cost updates which offer new gameplay features, worlds, secrets, patterns, Power Ups and more
"Our vision with Mr. Painter was to create something completely new that iOS users have never experienced before," commented the Those Pixels team. "And with 1500 patterns ranging from very easy to ultra-hard, numerous astonishing secrets, and the chance to compete with friends and be the best, we couldn't be more excited. However, this is just the beginning. We'll be constantly sending out updates so that both existing and new users have even more reasons to love the weird and wonderful world of Mr. Painter!"
Device Requirements:
