Cozy City 1.0 released for iOS - A Spatial Reasoning Puzzle Game - Published on 03/04/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dallas based Snow Covered Games, LLC today introduces Cozy City 1.0, its new game title developed for iOS devices. Cozy City is a different kind of puzzle game that requires a good combination of spatial reasoning and logical problem solving to complete. Players solve city blueprints by placing roads and houses on a fixed grid. Blueprints start out easy but get increasingly complicated. You'll need to use logic and spatial reasoning to plan ahead and arrange your city in an efficient layout.

Dallas, Texas - Snow Covered Games, LLC today is proud to announce the release of Cozy City 1.0, its new game title developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Cozy City is a different kind of puzzle game that requires a good combination of spatial reasoning and logical problem solving to complete. Players solve city blueprints by placing roads and houses on a fixed grid. Blueprints start out easy but get increasingly complicated. You'll need to use logic and spatial reasoning to plan ahead and arrange your city in an efficient layout.

Each puzzle contains two parts, a blueprint which shows you the roads and houses you need to place, and a grid of land tiles that you can build on. Each road and house is connected to another road or house which you need to place on an adjacent tile in the city grid. Puzzles start easy with only a few roads and houses that can be arranged in many ways. As you unlock more puzzles they get harder and harder leading up to dozens of houses and roads in large city grids - where one wrong placement at the beginning could be the reason for failure toward the end.

Features:
* Unique puzzle mechanics
* 50 challenging levels
* Hours of gameplay
* Increasing difficulty levels

This is a unique puzzle mechanic that encourages you to try and find a play style that works for you. Most players either try and plan out moves ahead of time, or place tiles randomly and try and backtrack from potential problem areas as they arise. If you enjoy logic puzzles or brain teasers, this game will surely scratch an itch.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 19.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Cozy City 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

App Camp For Girls Launches New Locations; Deadline To Apply is March 17 - Published on 03/04/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

App Camp For Girls is launching two new locations in Summer 2015. Camp sessions will take place in Vancouver, BC, and Martinsville, NJ, along with established locations Portland, OR, and Seattle, WA. Campers receive a broad introduction to the process of iOS app development, from brainstorming and designing ideas to building and pitching their apps. The girls use Mac computers and Xcode to build their apps and run them on iPod touch devices. Deadline to apply is March 17, 2015.

Portland, Oregon - App Camp For Girls, a non-profit organization aimed at tipping the scales of gender imbalance in software by providing girls with engaging, accessible educational programs in iOS development, is launching two new camp locations in Summer 2015. Inaugural camp sessions will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Martinsville, New Jersey. Camp sessions will again take place in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.

"We learned a lot about what it takes to work with a remote team when we launched our first expansion location in Seattle last summer," said Jean MacDonald, AC4G founder. "This summer, we are putting all the documentation together into a resource we call App Camp Kit, which will help us support even more new camp locations in 2016."

The application for all four locations is now available on the App Camp For Girls website. The deadline for submitting is March 17, 2015 at midnight PDT. If applications outnumber the available spaces at any location, a random selection will be made and a waitlist will be opened. If a location is not filled by the deadline, applications will continue to be accepted until it is filled. Applications will be accepted from local area girls who will be entering 8th or 9th grade in Fall 2015. No previous programming experience is required.

Camp tuition is $375 (USD) for the week at the U.S. locations and $375 (CAD) in Vancouver. Camp session dates are as follows:
* Vancouver, BC: July 6-10, 2015
* Seattle, WA: July 13-17, 2015
* Martinsville, NJ: July 20-24, 2015
* Portland, OR (2 sessions): July 27-31 and August 17-21, 2015

At App Camp For Girls, campers receive a broad introduction to the process of iOS app development, from brainstorming and designing ideas to building and pitching their apps. The girls use Mac(R) computers and Xcode(R), Apple's suite of developer tools, to build their apps and run them on iPod touch(R) devices. By building an app in one week, campers get a sense of accomplishment that can spark their enthusiasm to pursue further tech education.

The expansion to Vancouver marks App Camp For Girls's first international endeavor. "It is very exciting to bring the program to Canada," said MacDonald. "We couldn't do it without the support from local organizations and companies, including McMillan, the BC Technology Industry Association, and Radical I/O Technology."

Summer 2015 Application: http://appcamp4girls.com/apply

App Camp For Girls seeks to address the gender imbalance in technology professions by inspiring middle-school age girls with a broad introduction to the process of app development, from brainstorming and designing ideas to building and pitching their apps. We believe that the experience of creating an app that runs on a device in one week can spark the enthusiasm that will propel girls to pursue further tech education. In addition, App Camp For Girls is a place for women in the tech community to come together, network, and provide mutual support in their endeavors to advance in the field of software development. We encourage and support our volunteers to continue their own education in programming and design. All Material (C) Copyright 2015 App Camp For Girls. All Rights Reserved.

WaterField Introduces Minimalist Spike Wallet as Apple Pay Gains Ground - Published on 03/04/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WaterField Designs introduces the Spike Wallet, an ultra-minimalist, all-leather case ideal for carrying a driver's license, transit card and a few bills. A perfect companion for Apple Pay users, the super-thin Spike fits easily into a front pocket and its grizzly distressed leather develops a beautiful patina with use. The Spike is available in two sizes; one for essential cards, and one for cards plus cash and even a house key. Each is laser cut and solidly stitched for durability.

San Francisco, California - As Apple Pay and Android Pay (May 2015) gain popularity, and loyalty cards and receipts can be accessed from smartphones, it may be time to downsize the typical wallet. San Francisco's WaterField Designs introduces the leather Spike Wallet - an ultra-minimalist, all-leather case ideal for carrying the remaining bare essentials: driver's license, transit card and a few bills. The super-thin Spike fits easily into a front pocket in a "barely there" fashion, and its grizzly distressed leather develops a beautiful patina with use.

"Our wallets have always been minimal, even those that carry iPhones, smartphones, and passports," shared Gary Waterfield, company owner. "Now with Apple Pay gaining ground, we've designed this new Spike, our most minimal yet. Its straightforward design highlights two of our core competencies - quality materials and workmanship. The Spike's carefully-chosen leather withstands rugged use and just keeps getting better looking over time."

The Spike is available in two sizes - one for essential cards and one for cards plus cash (and even a house key). Each is laser cut and solidly stitched for durability. The Spike's grizzly, distressed, full-grain leather is culled from the most durable top layer of the hide, where the grain is tightest and most water-resistant. Shaped like a mini envelope, the Spike's cover closes by inserting its tip into a cut out slot on the front of the case.

In addition to the new Spike Wallet, WaterField Designs makes custom laptop sleeves, bags and cases for all types of digital gear. The company's commitment to manufacturing in San Francisco, its dedication to quality, and its unusual devotion to kind and thorough customer service, has resulted in a loyal customer following for the past fifteen years.

Pricing and Availability
The Spike is priced at $25.00 (USD) and available in two sizes: Business card (4.3 x 2.5 inches) and Wallet (4.3 x 3 inches). Colors: Grizzly brown, naturally-tanned, distressed, full-grain leather. Shipping now from the WaterField Designs online store.

Brattoo Propaganda Software Introduces Duplicate Annihilator for Photos - Published on 03/04/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brattoo Propaganda Software Introduces Duplicate Annihilator for Photos, a new edition of their popular duplicates annihilation software with support for Apples new application Photos. Duplicate Annihilator takes on the time consuming task comparing the images in your Photos library, using effective algorithms to make sure that no duplicates escape. Duplicate Annihilator for Photos is the only software on the market that takes care of and annihilates duplicate photos in the new Photos app.

Kalmar, Sweden - Brattoo Propaganda Software today is proud to announce the release of Duplicate Annihilator for Photos, a new edition of their popular duplicates annihilation software with support for Apple's new Photos app. Apple announced last year that it would end development on its consumer photo library, iPhoto, and its professional photo editing suite, Aperture and replace them with the new Photos app.

Duplicate Annihilator takes on the time consuming task comparing the images in your Photos library, using effective algorithms to make sure that no duplicates escape. Duplicate Annihilator for Photos is the only software on the market that takes care of and annihilates duplicate photos in the new Photos app. Duplicate Annihilator for Photos is available today.

Duplicate Annihilator is an elegant, easy-to-learn, and highly appreciated application.

Syncing photos, iCoud, Photo stream and various photo editing tools can easily result in unwanted duplicates in your Photos library. Those duplicate photos consumes lots of precious storage and also makes managing your photos difficult. Until now the only solution have been manual and tiresome work but with todays release of Duplicate Annihilator for Photos those days are gone.

Anders Bjarby, CEO of Brattoo Propaganda Software said "We have the oldest, and with customers in over 170 countries and more than 3,000,000 downloads and billions and billions of processed photos, probably the most well tested software for iPhoto duplicates on the market so when Apple released Photos it was natural for us to take care of duplicates there as well. We are thrilled to finally release it and to further improve our customers photo experience."

Key features
* Detects, displays and deletes duplicate photos, thumbnails, thumbnails of faces, corrupt jpegs and missing image files
* Compatible with Photos and Mac OSX 10.10
* Only software on the market that handles duplicate photos in Photos

Duplicate Annihilator is used by and recommended by Apple Distinguished Educators, Apple Lead Creatives, Apple Creatives, Mac Specialists and Apple Geniuses in many Apple Stores, Apple Care and Apple Support worldwide.

"It just works! I'm so glad that there is a solution for Photos as well.", said Jane Kessler, one early adopter of Photos. "I decided to clean up my photo mess after migrating to Photos and with Brattoo Propaganda Software's tool it was a breeze to annihilate all those junk and unwanted duplicate photos."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.10
* Photos 1.0

Pricing and Availability:
Duplicate Annihilator or Photos sells for $7.95 (USD) and is available worldwide from Brattoo Propaganda Software online.

Beach Jellyfish Invasion Inspires Aussie Developers with new iOS Game - Published on 03/04/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A failed trip to the beach inspired Aussie indie game developer duo BubblePug to make their first game called Penguin Splat. Penguin Splat is a game where the player takes control of a rather rotund penguin and tries to jump onto the heads of the jellyfish that are invading the beach, splatting them into harmless goo. Available exclusively for iOS from the 22nd of February, the game represents 4 months of intense effort to develop an old school-style arcade game.

Sydney, Australia - A failed trip to the beach inspired Aussie indie game developer duo BubblePug to make their first game called Penguin Splat. Available exclusively for iOS from the 22nd of February, the game represents 4 months of intense effort to develop an old school style arcade game to appeal to gamers of all ages.

"I took my family to a beach one day, but no one was able to swim there because it had been invaded by jellyfish. A kid had dragged one of these things up onto the footpath and was trying to stomp on its head, and I just thought I must be able to make a game out of that." said BubblePug co-founder Louis Berghold.

In Penguin Splat, the player takes control of a rather rotund penguin and tries to jump onto the heads of the jellyfish that are invading the beach, splatting them into harmless goo, while avoiding touching the jellyfish tentacles. The player can grab power-ups with amusing effects, like gummi fish that make the penguin fatter until eventually he pops and sprays vomit all over the screen, killing more jellyfish. Another power-up clones the penguin so that the player is then controlling multiple penguins all bouncing around the screen.

"We think the gameplay is fairly unique, even though it has an old-school flavour to it. While the player only needs to tap the left or right of the screen to make the penguins jump in that direction, they have to get the timing right and work with gravity in order to master the game. There are other techniques they have to discover in order to maximise their score, which gives it that extra challenge. And it's pretty satisfying slamming down on the jellyfish and hearing the gooey splat sounds."

The game has been designed to be universally appealing, without pandering to any gender or age stereotypes.

"We wanted to make a game that was fun for kids, boys and girls, but also appealing to older gamers like ourselves. We think it has the right mix of simple controls, easy to learn, while being challenging to master and addictive. My daughters and I are always hitting play again to try and get a better score. The other kids we've play tested it with are the same."

Device Requirements:
* Optimised for iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6 Plus
* iPad 2, 3, Air, Air 2, Mini, Mini 2, Mini 3
* iPod touch 5th and 6th generations
* iOS 7.1 or later
* 24.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Penguin Splat 1.0 is free to download worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. It has one in-app purchase to remove ads.

BubblePug consists of Aussie brothers Jared and Louis Berghold who have shared a passion for playing and making computer games from childhood.

Dubai Racing Zooms to #1 Overall iPad App Spot in Multiple Countries - Published on 03/04/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dubai Racing from Zerofour Games is loaded with enhanced features including an elite collection of high performance cars, multiple exotic locations, individual and team battle modes, trophies and leagues, ultra-realistic 3D HD graphics, immersive soundtrack, lifelike sound effects, and more. Compete in over 15 locations across Dubai, and experience some of the world's most iconic and picturesque vistas. The new no-cost app is available for iPhone and iPad.

Cupertino, California - When their groundbreaking app Dubai Drift was named an App Store "Best of 2014" and featured on the App Store's Home Page, fans around the world wondered if it was possible for Zerofour Games to create something even more exciting, realistic and fun. Well, those doubts have been completely put to rest, because their latest release Dubai Racing is possibly the most thrilling and engaging car battle app in history.

Available at no-cost for both iPad and iPhone, within 24 hours of its release Dubai Racing is already the #1 overall iPad app in multiple countries, including UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, Oman, Russia, Croatia, Lebanon, and more.

And it's easy to see what all of the excitement is about, because Dubai Racing is loaded with enhanced features that make most other bar battle and racing simulation apps look rather amateur by comparison. For example, users can:

* Choose from an elite collection of exotic, custom made ultra high-performance cars - including the famous Dubai Police supercars
* Compete in over 15 locations across Dubai, and experience some of the world's most iconic and picturesque vistas
* Battle against opponents from six different 'hoods in order to conquer their territory, and experience more than 300 adrenaline-filled events
* Turn cars into their dream machines with variations, upgrades and multiple tuning options
* Race against Facebook friends or other Dubai Racing users from around the world to see who has what it takes to be the best
* Earn trophies and climb through various leagues, all the way up to the ultimate "Legends"
* Create a "Battle Log" to track matches and discover if they were attacked while offline - and if so, by whom
* Secure their garage with a shield - which comes in really handy to avoid being attacked and raided while offline

Plus, users can forge and refine a team that goes to battle against other teams. They can also create a "Car Clan" (or join a friend's) to share strategies and combine forces against enemies. And if they want to stay in the background, users can even build a crew from the ground up and analyze their performance.

Throughout it all, users enjoy vividly detailed 3D HD graphics, lifelike day and night scenes, energizing soundtrack music, meticulously designed racetracks, and realistic sound effects such as engine noise, air brakes, and more.

"Dubai Drift was a global success and set a new standard for car battle apps," commented a spokesperson from Zerofour Games. "We knew that we had to come up with some even bigger and better this year, and that's exactly what we've done with Dubai Racing. It's loaded with action, thrills, speed and surprises, and we feel that it's the most unique and exciting car battle app of all time!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 520 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Dubai Racing 1.0, the phenomenal new app that in less than 24 hours of its release has zoomed to the #1 overall iPad app in multiple countries, is available at no-cost for iPhone and iPad from the App Store in the Games category.
