IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mobile application development company, Frenzy Cat today introduces Sort It, the company's most innovative new gaming app. Sort It is a fun and interactive 3D puzzle game that was designed to captivate users and test how quickly they can take on an organizational challenge. With colorful and detailed 3D graphics along with electrifying sound effects, Sort It allows users to organize different colored packages into their corresponding chutes simply with the dragging of a finger.

Seychelles, Victoria - Today, mobile application development company, Frenzy Cat announced the launch of Sort It, the company's most innovative new gaming app. Sort It is a fun and interactive 3D puzzle game that was designed to captivate users and test how quickly they can take on an organizational challenge. This app was created to offer millions of people worldwide the ability to combine an entertaining, fun and stimulating experience all in one, right in the palm of their hands.

This app may sound simple, but this fast-finger game is like none other created to date. Sort It allows users to organize different colored packages into their corresponding chutes simply with the dragging of a finger. The major challenge is that users have to avoid bombs that distract and get in the way. These bombs will self destruct after 5 seconds causing all of the packages to be dropped into the wrong colored chutes. If the bomb explodes, and a colored package slides into the wrong colored chute, a life will quickly be lost. Users only get three lives to live and the game will be over - the key is to be super quick in order to stay alive in this mind-blowing game.

Additionally, a few highlights of the app include in-app purchases for two game upgrades: revive and clean sweep. Playing time can be increased by using a 'revive' upgrade while the 'sweep' upgrade allows users to build up a screen full of packages and sort them using a single tap for maximum points. Sort It's colorful and detailed 3D graphics along with electrifying sound effects make the app fun for all ages!

The "World's Most Annoying Alarm Clock" Reaches Top 5 on App Store - Published on 12/03/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alarmy is not an ordinary alarm app. And with it, there is no danger of oversleeping & being late for work or for an important appointment. Once the alarm sounds, there is only one way to turn it off. Rather than a simple off switch that can be pressed and then ignored as users fall gently back to sleep, Alarmy can only be shut off if the user gets up & takes a photo of a predetermined location. Alarmy is known as "the world's most annoying alarm."

Seoul, South Korea - Alarmy, the simple application for forcing people out of bed was recently earned a spot as one of the top five downloads in the iTunes App Store. Known as "the world's most annoying alarm," the app requires users to either shake their phone a certain amount of times or take a specific photo in order for the alarm to shut off.

"Users have found that the peace of mind Alarmy offers actually helps them to achieve a deeper and more restful sleep," said Delightroom Inc. CEO Jaemyung Shin. "For example, some people may have difficulty sleeping because they are worried about sleeping through their alarm. But because the app has a reputation for extreme wake up calls, people know that there is no chance of over sleeping."

The increasingly popular alarm application is easy to set up and ideal for anything from important occasions to waking the night owl who is particularly sluggish in the morning. To set the alarm, users select time, day and music or tone just like a normal clock. Then they must choose whether they would like to shake the phone or take a photo to turn the alarm off. For the photo function, only a quick register of the room they intend on snapping a picture of is required. But users be warned: the alarm will not shut off until the tasks are done!

Alarmy is easy to understand and intuitive to set up. Users can avoid the common pitfalls associated with mixing up the AM and PM signals as they are placed where they will always be seen. The application ensures that users will never miss an important engagement as a result of accidentally sleeping in.

"Arguably the hardest part about waking up in the morning is getting out of bed and getting moving," said Shin. "People often hit the snooze or turn their alarm off in their morning haze without even remembering it. The success of this application is largely based on the fact that it removes the most challenging aspect of waking up by giving people a task to complete."

Users also have the ability to easily manage their preset alarms. Not only does this option keep things more simplistic, it also virtually eliminates the chances of selecting the wrong time by mistake.

Features:
* Reliable
* Intuitive, sleek interface
* Easy to use
* Optimized for all the latest mobile devices
* Updates for continued improvements in efficiency

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Apple: Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Android: Requires Android 2.3 and up
* 8.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Alarmy (Sleep If U Can) 2.65 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Lifestyle category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Defense 39 for iOS Takes Intensive Warfare to New Levels - Published on 12/03/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Developer Sirocco Mobile recently released Defense 39, a war game featuring a fast-paced and highly addictive approach to tower defense games. Players must test their defense skills in the heat of battle, facing an onslaught of military forces ranging from infantry to heavy-duty tanks. Defense 39 keeps players engaged with multiple environments for intense battle grounds that feature exciting graphical display.

Gliwice, Poland - Developer Sirocco Mobile recently released Defense 39, a war game featuring a fast-paced and highly addictive approach to tower defense games. Players must test their defense skills in the heat of battle, facing an onslaught of military forces ranging from infantry to heavy-duty tanks.

Gamers take control of a single tower or other defensive position where they must then take down thousands of enemies approaching from all directions. While the premise sounds extremely challenging, players will gain confidence when they see the wide selection of explosive artillery options available. Machine guns, grenade launchers and bazookas are all up for grabs to help conquer evil. As players advance, more powerful weaponry becomes available for maximum firepower.

Defense 39 keeps players engaged with multiple environments for intense battle grounds that feature exciting graphical display. The game also features an intuitive design, allowing players can easily pick up, upgrade weapons and adjust settings.

"There are countless war games that revolve around the first person shooter formula," said Games Department Director Bartosz Garus. "Those types of games are popular, though they generally require a significant investment of time in order to understand the controls and objectives. We focused on developing a game that offers immediate action and the excitement of warfare."

Gameplay takes place in missions, affording users the opportunity to choose the appropriate weaponry for each situation, analyzing the vague intelligence reports. Strategy is the only way to move forward and defend the position once and for all! Players receive medals after each completed mission allowing them to progress and unlock new features. Defense '39 is available now for free on the App Store, offering additional shortcuts for purchase within the app: including medal packs, weapons packs and the ability to unlock all locations.

Features:
* Fast-paced war action
* 10 locations with over 70 missions
* Expansive weapon selection
* Challenging "survival mode" for advanced players
* Medal-based upgrades

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* Optimized for iPhone 5
* 39.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Defense 39 v.1.0.1 is currently available for Free and available worldwide through the iTunes app store in the Games category.

Web building: Sit back, relax, and Make it Easy - Published on 11/30/99

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MacMate, the ever-popular cloud service for Mac users, have announced three major updates and releases to their packages. Web Builder Live, Wordpress M3, as well as increasing features across all the packages. Along with the launch of Web Builder Live and Wordpress M3, MacMate have enhanced all three packages with extra features, and more cloud space. Web Builder Live is included free on all MacMate packages. Now everyone can create a free website.

London, United Kingdom - MacMate, the ever-popular cloud service for Mac users, have announced three major updates and releases to their packages. Web Builder Live, Wordpress M3, as well as increasing features across all the packages. Now everyone can create a free website.

Web Builder Live is included free on all MacMate packages. MacMate Lite now features: Web Builder Live, Galleries, Cloud disk, Email and Filesharing.

"Building websites used to be complicated from the design, to the code, to getting it published on the net. Not any more, now building a website is simple, and comes with pre-security-screened, tried and tested themes and plugins." James Brown, one of MacMate' senior developers.

Fully managed Wordpress:
MacMate haven't stopped there, they have also added Wordpress M3 to their premium MacMate Pro. WordPress M3 combines the power of WordPress with ease of maintenance. It is a fully managed Wordpress solution where users don't have to worry about the complicated stuff like finding themes, installing plugins, keeping things up to date - not to mention sleepless nights about security implications. It comes with over 90 plug ins and over 300 premium themes to choose from - at no extra charge and with more being added constantly.

More cloud - bigger MacMate, increased features:

As well as opening up virtually all previously paid-for features into their free Lite package, adding everything together so the user can save, build, and host email, galleries and their site in one place.

"It's the biggest release we have done since launch. We have always dreamed of a web builder integrated within MacMate that was super-easy to use. Wordpress is amazing, and one of the best ways to create a website but we still thought Wordpress hosting needed one thing extra - to simplify the amazing. Our new packages allow anyone, any size, business or home user to be able to design, build and host with one provider, with no need for third party apps or software. " Peter Mellett, MacMate senior developer.

MacMate is designed to be simple to use, like Macs - with familiar drag-and-drop for uploading and downloading files. Because MacMate works like a real disk there is no software to install - it works natively on Mac, Windows and Linux.
