Elder Towers - A Deck-building RTS/RPG - launched on iOS and Android - Published on 09/10/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Akashan Games today introduces Elder Towers, its first game title for iOS and Android devices. Elder Towers is a deck-building RTS/RPG game heavily inspired by the old titles Magic: the Gathering - Shandalar and Sacrifice. The game is aimed at hardcore gamers who would like a serious strategy game on mobile. 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.

Hong Kong - Indie developer, Akashan Games today is proud to announce the release of Elder Towers, its first game title for iOS and Android devices. Elder Towers is a deck-building RTS/RPG game heavily inspired by the old titles Magic: the Gathering - Shandalar and Sacrifice. Defying the common trend of casual simple gameplay on mobile, the game is instead aimed at hardcore gamers who would enjoy a serious strategy game. 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.

Features:
* TCG game mechanisms realized in real-time 3D environment
* 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

Like Sacrifice, the game is a third-person view RTS where you summon creatures to fight for you, and cast a variety of spells to support them. However unit micro-management is taken out in order to allow the players to focus on other aspects of the game. The players get to choose their summons from a large pool of attacker units, defender units, bodyguards units, etc, of varying costs, strength, and special abilities. All those units fight autonomously according to their AI types.

Like Magic: the Gathering - Shandalar, the players do not have to pay for booster packs to get new spells - they are given a limited set of spells at the beginning of the game, and shall gradually collect more and better spells, summons, artifacts and special feats, as they brave through the free-roaming game world. They shall test their decks against many different opponents, while they keep on hunting for new spells and improving their decks.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 362 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Elder Towers 1.01 is available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Tickl Launches As The World's First App For Rating Love Making - Published on 09/11/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Whether starting a new relationship, keeping a long term relationship alive, or even trying for a baby, Tickl tracks and stores all of the statistics associated with intimate moments. Created by a small dedicated team in London, Tickl offers a simple beautiful interface to document all the intimate times that any couple spend together. Users simply need to pop the app under their pillow and then take a look after the session to see total time spent, how many calories were used and more.

Cupertino, California - Whether starting a new relationship, keeping a long term relationship alive, or even trying for a baby, Tickl tracks and stores all of the statistics associated with intimate moments. For a bit of fun it can also rate performance based on the users ages, worldwide statistics and an incredibly complex algorithm, that took years of arduous testing.

Created by a small dedicated team in London, Tickl offers a simple beautiful interface to document all the intimate times that any couple spend together. Aimed at anyone over the age of 18, Tickl is truly revolutionary. With a 'one click' start, users simply need to pop the app under their pillow and then take a look after the session to see total time spent, how many calories were used and also compare statistics against previous sessions. Using the built in 'tickl rating' system (patent pending) users can also see a standardized rating for each entry and even use this to attempt to improve their score each time.

Key Features:
* Simple to use, beautiful interface and intricate Tickl rating system
* Tracks calories used
* Documents all the intimate times couples spend together
* World table shows which countries are 'tickl'ing the most
* Post ratings to Facebook or Twitter

Security is of the utmost importance within Tickl; information is never shared with third parties and the app can also be easily password protected to secure information from prying eyes.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Tickl 1.0 is released as a Free app with an upper limit of 5 sessions for software trials, and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category. Upgrading for $1.99 gives an unlimited use allowance, as well as a 99c fee to remove the ads.

Tickl was dreamed up by photographer, Hywel Jones and Programmer Nadeeke Illeperuma. Working from their office on the Portobello Road in London, the app took nearly a year to bring to market, due to the incredibly hard algorithm needed to run the App. After hours of arduous testing though, they believe that they have created something truly original and never been seen before in the App market.
