Subotica, Serbia - Rapid Turtle Games today announced that their newly released game World of Khaos has made into the Mac App Store�s prestigious Best New Games on spot #1, which list the game on more than 150 countries. This adrenaline-pumping tower defense game casts you in the role of the leader of resistance in a post-apocalyptic world. After an asteroid impact on Earth, the civilization is destroyed, and a new world order has arisen. A fanatic rules the world with an unstoppable army of robots, mutants and cyborgs.

The Story:
On September 29, 2028 an unexpected asteroid with high iridium content hit the Earth with catastrophic consequences. With extreme amount of dust, moisture and radiation it destroyed the civilization, as we know it. The survivors concentrated around the remaining water resources and formed heavily guarded districts. Local wars between districts were common. Soon after the impact, iridium became the world currency.

The location of the asteroid impact was the area with the highest iridium content. District 1, the closest to the impact soon started to exploit the good properties of this rare metal to create the most advanced army of robots, mutants and cyborgs. War was always about resources and control. This time is no different. With superior technology, plenty of iridium and a fanatic leader obsessed with domination, District 1 quickly crushed the districts that didn�t obey to the new world order.

District 13 is the only remaining place on Earth where the people are still free. They founded the Resistance, the sole fighting force for freedom and the mankind�s last hope, led by a man called Punk. The brutal army of war machines is at the doorstep of District 13. As it turns out soon, a much greater challenge is awaiting them here. Let the battle begin�

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Livelynight 1.0 is a new social network where users provide live ratings of the atmosphere at pubs, bars and clubs. Users can provide an easy-to-fill-out rating for a particular club. The community can then make more informed decisions on which bars to go to, or whether to move to a different one. Developed by Livelynight LTD, the app serves to transform your nightlife by offering ratings for crowd size, the entertainment, male to female ration, noise level and even the average age.

London, United Kingdom - Today, the app that seeks to enhance your nightlife is available on the App Store. Livelynight is a social network where users provide live ratings of the atmosphere at pubs, bars and clubs.

This can then be seen by the entire community. The ratings contain information on:

* Crowd Size
* Entertainment
* Male to Female Ratio
* Noise Level
* Average Age

This gives a more complete idea of what the atmosphere is like at a place. "Picking the right location can be a hit or miss situation", said Erich Schudt, co-founder of Livelynight. "If the community forms a network where each person is aware of every other place in the network, everyone could choose their ideal bar. This is the idea behind Livelynight."

* Requires iOS 8.1 or later
* 7.7 MB

Version 2.0 brings enhanced accessibility for users with motor-challenges and includes an optimized scanning order for Switch Control users. It also adds compatibility with Acapela Group's my-own-voice service as well as language support for Arabic, Greek and Russian.

Amsterdam, Netherlands - AssistiveWare today is proud to announce the release of Proloquo4Text 2.0, an important update to its text-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) iOS app designed for literate children and adults who have difficulty speaking or have lost their voice completely.

It means being seen as an equal, but most of all it means sharing conversations, jokes, and stories with my son." Lisa Lehmann, Proloquo4Text User, Australia

"The quote by Lisa exemplifies the vision we had when we first started to design Proloquo4Text. We want users to be able to communicate with minimal effort and actively participate in society," says David Niemeijer, CEO and Founder of AssistiveWare. "The 2.0 update is especially important to us because it makes Proloquo4Text even more accessible and helps users with motor challenges to communicate easier and faster than before. By adding support for Arabic, Russian and Greek we are also expanding our geographical reach to offer individuals with communication impairments from those regions the opportunity to communicate in their mother tongue."
