Addictive and Fun Egg-Shoot is Poised to be Chart Topper in 2015 - Published on 01/31/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Heartmade Entertainments' new release Egg-Shoot challenges users to keep their mobile device's screen spotless by tapping eggs that are being launched at them by a horde of some of the most hysterical-looking hens in the history of graphic design. The catch, however, is that users have no way of knowing which of the various pipes the eggs will launch from, or the speed at which they'll be hurled. This unique, addictive and fun app is available now from the App Store and Google Play.

Cupertino, California - Each year, a new game arrives from seemingly out of nowhere and ends up taking the mobile world by storm. In recent years, omnipresent apps like Angry Birds and Candy Crush earned this coveted distinction. And while 2015 is just underway, an early contender for what could ultimately wind up being hailed as the year's most addictive and fun game is Heartmade Entertainments' new release Egg-Shoot.

Like all celebrated games, Egg-Shoot is simple to understand, yet challenging to master. The gameplay works like this: users must keep their mobile device's screen spotless by tapping eggs that are being launched at them by a horde of some of the most hysterical-looking hens in the history of graphic design.

The catch, however, is that users have no way of knowing which of the various pipes the eggs will launch from (there are five; one for each wacky hen), or the speed at which they'll be hurled. As such, there's no way for users to prepare or anticipate what's ahead, and therefore they must rely on deft hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes.

Users who successfully tap five eggs are rewarded by another, more challenging level. However, users who allow their screen to be (virtually) splattered with egg yolk are forced to start over. Along the way, users can also pick up handy tools - like a squeegee - to help them succeed. There's also a pause button for those who need a break in the action.

"While the app is fun and ridiculously addictive, what really helps make Egg-Shoot a joy to play are impressive sound effects and especially graphics; both of which are at a much higher standard than most arcade-style apps that tend to cut corners on both," commented Davoud Safdarian of Heartmade Entertainments. "And the sheer craziness of our illustrated hens has to be seen to be fully appreciated. It's virtually impossible to look at them without laughing!"

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

Pricing and Availability:
Egg-Shoot 1.0.0, the unique, addictive and fun game that is poised to be a chart topper in 2015, is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is an Android version available on Google Play.

Update of Award-Winning App Make-A-Meal Now Features 1000+ Recipes - Published on 01/31/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The newly updated Make A Meal 1.2 by Paul Saxby helps users reduce the amount of money they spend on food, cut down on the amount of food-related waste they produce, and transform their kitchen into a stockroom for numerous cooking ideas. Users simply access the app's built-in search engine to find recipes based on food they already have tucked away in their refrigerator and cupboard. The latest version 1.2 now features over 1000+ recipes to suit every preference and skill level.

Cupertino, California - People who want to significantly reduce the amount of money they spend on food, cut down on the amount of food-related waste they produce, and transform their kitchen into a veritable stockroom for hundreds or even thousands of cooking ideas, can now head to the App Store and download the new version 1.2 of Paul Saxby's remarkable no-cost app Make-A-Meal.

Aside from being simple and fun to use, what uniquely sets Make-a-Meal apart from other food and drink apps - and what surely helped it win a "Gold Award" from the 2014 US Mobile & App Design Awards, and earn it the distinction of "Best Cooking App" from the UK App Design Awards - is that users don't have to head out to the grocery store and bring home costly bags of ingredients in order to prepare delicious creations.

That's because the latest version of Make-a-Meal now features over 1000 recipes from chefs worldwide. Users simply access the app's built-in search engine to find recipes based on food they already have tucked away in their refrigerator and cupboard. Search results reveal recipes that are organized by the number of missing ingredients (e.g. "up to 3 missing ingredients", "more than 3 missing ingredients" and so on), and summarized with a picture, cooking time, and degree of difficulty.

Of course, users who feel adventurous can also browse through all of the app's recipes to find ideas on everything from simple traditional favorites to sophisticated modern cuisine. There's more than enough to choose from for both novice cooks and experienced chefs alike. Other Make-a-Meal special features include the option to:

* Customize recipe lists for specific dietary preferences or restrictions
* Rate recipes and add them to a favorites list
* Print or email recipes
* Send photos via Facebook and Twitter

"When it comes to how much money we spend on wasted food each year, the numbers are surprising - even shocking," commented developer Paul Saxby. "For instance, each year the average family throws away 30% of the food and drink they purchase, which equates to nearly $600. Make-A-Meal puts that money back into users' bank accounts. Plus, users feel great knowing that they're reducing waste that would otherwise end up in the garbage - and eventually in a landfill. And of course, Make-a-Meal isn't just about saving money and reducing waste - it's also about great food! With so many recipes to explore, users will never run out of ideas, whether they're looking to make a quick meal or put on a stylish, gourmet spread."

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

Pricing and Availability:
Make A Meal 1.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Food & Drink category.
