Fun, Simple and Ultra Addictive New No-Cost App: Radar Wings launches - Published on 09/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Easy & Tricky Games Company introduces Radar Wings 1.0, its new game title for iOS and Android devices. Radar Wings challenges users to control the altitude of an airborne plane, helicopter or rocket by tapping their screen and navigating their respective flying machine through a unending series of circular "radars." This new no-cost app is refreshingly fun, simple and ultra addictive, and features outstanding, realistic sound effects that make the experience more intense and interesting.

Cupertino, California - iOS and Android users of all ages in search of the next fun, simple and ultra addictive new app that they'll want to keep playing over and over again, can now head to the App Store or Google Play and download Radar Wings from Easy & Tricky Games Company. Innovation should make life simple and that is the ethos behind making Radar Wings an entertaining game that anyone can easily pick-up and play.

Crafted in a similar style to Flappy Bird, Radar Wings challenges users to control the altitude of an airborne plane, helicopter or rocket by tapping their screen and navigating their respective flying machine through a unending series of "radars", which are essentially circles in the sky placed at various positions: some low, some high, some in the middle, and so on.

Each time they successfully make it through a radar, users earn a point. However, if they fail to make it through a radar they crash and fall into the ocean - and must start again. They must also deftly avoid birds to avoid succumbing to the same fate and can score bonus points by flying through the "Bermuda Triangles" that appear after every 10 radars, while skilfully adjust to the fact that their plane, helicopter or rocket accelerates after every 10 radars, too. Other special Radar Wings features include:

* Players can choose to pilot a place, helicopter or rocket.
* Outstanding, realistic sound effects that make the experience more intense and interesting
* Beautiful scrolling backgrounds
* Two types of music that users can toggle between (or shut off entirely if they wish)
* Social sharing to connect with friends via Facebook
* Leaderboard integration with updated scores

"A really big problem with so many game apps is that they're boring, or repetitive, or full of violence and not suitable for users of all ages," commented Subhash Ladda of Easy & Tricky Games Company. "And that's what makes Radar Wings so unique and different. It's refreshingly enjoyable, and because it progressively gets more challenging, users never have to worry about getting bored - there's always a new test ahead! Plus, with the fun, sweet and charming visuals and sound, Radar Wings is perfect for users of all ages. It's something the whole family can enjoy - anytime, anywhere!"

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

Pricing and Availability:
Radar Wings 1.0s, the fun, simple and ultra-addictive new app, is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Party Boss App Pokes Fun At Big Money Politics - Published on 09/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Francisco based Lot 49 Labs LLC announces their new political game, Party Boss for iOS and Android devices. In Party Boss, players can run for office. Players pick a condidate and move among political platforms while dodging nosey reporters, explosive issues and more. Party Boss reflects the way political candidates duck the obligations of public service by evading questions from journalists and by refusing to discuss issues in a substantive way.

San Francisco, California - Politics is show business for the wealthy. It takes a fortune to get elected. Winning Senate candidates spent an average of $10.3 million on their campaigns in 2012, according to a report from Brookings and the American Enterprise Institute. Victorious candidates in the House of Representatives spent an average of $1.6 million the same year.

That's why Party Boss from Lot 49 Labs LLC is a game about money and votes. Available for iOS and Android, it's a lighthearted look at the U.S. political process and its focus on funds.

In Party Boss, players can run for office. But they'll have to run fast. Assuming the persona of one of three candidates - Alice, Bob, or Carl - players move among political platforms while dodging nosey reporters, explosive issues, and shoes from the crowd. A player who lands on a popular platform will gain temporary immunity from the mudslinging.

Party Boss is a platform game that presents political platforms as objects. Pandering and fear-mongering have never been easier. The game design reflects the way political candidates duck the obligations of public service by evading questions from journalists and by refusing to discuss issues in a substantive way.

"Party Boss is meant to be fun, but I hope it will also encourage people question the role of money in elections," said Lot 49 Labs founder Thomas Claburn. "Public servants become beholden to private benefactors when they accept their cash. It doesn't have to be that way."

Party Boss provides a way to run a political campaign that's less expensive and more fun than the real thing. And at the end of it all, players can walk away with their integrity intact.

Device Requirements for iOS and Android:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Reqiures iOS 6 or higher
* Android 2.3.3 or higher, with an ARMv7 processor
* 41 MB free space

Pricing and Availability:
* Party Boss 1.0 is available as a free download in the Apple App Store in the Game category and in Google Play. The game includes in-app purchasing options ranging from $0.99 to $3.99.

Swedish startup SocialMaps to make U.S. debut at #TechcrunchDisrupt - Published on 09/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Emerging mobile social discovery platform, Socialmaps 3.0.6 is now set to make its U.S. debut at this week's Techcrunch Disrupt, September 8th-10th. Socialmaps can be found in the Nordic Pavilion. Want to know what your friends and colleagues are up to nearby? Developed in Sweden, Socialmaps leverages the power of location-based services and social media. Available for iOS and Android devices, this free app recently surpassed more than 1 million posts from users across the world.

Stockholm, Sweden - Emerging mobile social discovery platform Socialmaps is the first app to fully leverage the power of location-based services and social media. Developed in Sweden, Socialmaps recently surpassed more than 1 million posts from users across the world. Available for iOS and Android, this free app is now set to make its U.S. debut at this week's Techcrunch Disrupt (September 8th -10th ). Socialmaps can be found in the Nordic Pavilion.

Want to know what your friends and colleagues are up to nearby? Socialmaps integrates feeds from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, G+ and Foursquare, and posts real-time status updates directly to the user's map, delivering instant push notifications whenever friends are nearby.

CEO and co-founder Martin Adonis formerly worked at a number of social media companies including Google. He challenged the Socialmaps team to help him to find a more efficient way to stay connected with the global business community as they traveled from city-to-city, for short visits and on tight schedules. Adonis said: "I got tired of constantly checking different apps to stay connected - while of course relying on maps to find my way around. Socialmaps elegantly unites social and location, and delivers a real-time, integrated view of the information users really want. Foremost, Socialmaps sends alerts when the friends who matter most are nearby, making it easy to arrange impromptu meetups. Even better, Socialmaps highly-engaged users get to enjoy their real-world interactions with friends and new places - without forever checking their phones."

Socialmaps displays the locations and proximity of friends within a 500 meter radius, and also "pins" friends' status updates from the five leading social networks directly on the map. Users also have the option to make brand new connections with other Socialmaps users nearby, subject to their personal privacy settings. All participants have complete control over whom they choose to make their location visible, and privacy is the highest priority for the Socialmaps team. Options include the choice to share with selected friends only, or with user-curated groups such as family or classmates.
