Moto Joe 2.0 - Updated Gameplay, Hot Bikes, Power-ups and more - Published on 03/13/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3 Magic Shots today announces Moto Joe 2.0, an update to its fun and quirky endless runner for iOS and Android devices. This free-to-play title offers quick one touch gameplay as Joe jumps around the retro retro world. In the game, you begin as Joe riding the bike, performing wheelies, backflips and all sorts of crazy stunts while dodging the fire and spike traps that are set along the way. Version 2.0 includes hot new bikes, cool power-ups and new gameplay dynamics for extended hours of fun.

Dallas, Texas - 3 Magic Shots today is proud to launch the latest update for Moto Joe which refines the game making it fun to play but hard to master. The update comes just after 3 weeks of the game launch and includes hot new bikes, cool power-ups and new gameplay dynamics for extended hours of fun. Moto Joe is a free-to-play title offering quick one touch gameplay as Joe jumps around the retro world.

The update introduces new content players can buy using coins they pick in-game. Players can now unlock new bikes including a hip little Scooter, a crazy Hog, a futuristic Bike and Badman's very own Badpod using coins or they can use the hot shield 1-up for an extra life. Using the 1-up also means the chance to score more coins per game. We have moved away from the traditional in-app model and players can remove in-game ads using coins they get in-game which makes the game 100% Free-to-Play.

The update also features "near perfect" gameplay, making the stunts more accurate and the game more refined.

"We got a ton of feedback from users and critics who absolutely loved the game but thought the gameplay was a bit unpredictable. We went back to the drawing board and got it working perfectly. We're surprised with how different the game feels now. You can play longer and it causes some serious addiction. Each jump is executed with laser sharp precision which rewards the players for focusing and getting the jumps right. We want players to have an awesome time every time they pick Moto Joe." - Harsh, Developer / Co-Founder of 3 Magic Shots.

Moto Joe was initially launched less than a month back as an endless runner, which starts with Joe riding the bike, performing wheelies, backflips and all sorts of crazy stunts while dodging fire and spike traps that are set along the way. The game environment has been designed in a retro 8-bit setting that compliments the game. The coins you gain along the ride can be used buy everything in-game.

"Moto Joe is a very special project. The idea started with a game we would love to play ourselves and it has just grown rapidly from there. This is the first update of many which we have planned for the game. After every update we plan to gather feedback and add content which will make it more fun and reward the players for playing unlike other games." - Zee, Designer / Co-Founder, 3 Magic Shots

"The entire team has hooked on to Moto Joe 2.0, it's satisfying and addicting. We have become crazy competitive with the game, trying hard to beat each others high scores. There is something different about the game, almost like an itch you just can't scratch enough." - Robin, Media / Co-Founder, 3 Magic Shots

Orderly 2.8 released for iOS - Visual To-Do App Undergoes Major Update - Published on 03/13/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tekton Technologies today announces Orderly - Reminders, Tasks and To-Do Lists 2.8, a major update to their popular productivity app developed for iOS devices. Exclusively designed based on how the human mind visualizes to-do lists, Orderly features nice simple gestures with item due dates, adding even more convenience and ease-of-use. Featuring awesome themes & location based reminders, the app makes sure that a task never goes unnoticed. Orderly is now updated for iPhone 6, 6 Plus & iPad Air.

San Jose, California - Tekton Technologies today is proud to announce the release of Orderly - Tasks and To-Do Lists 2.8, a major update to their productivity app exclusively designed for iOS8. Offering nice simple gestures, multiple font sizes, the ability to set due date for individual items as well as the entire list, Orderly adds even more convenience and ease-of-use for everyone. Featuring awesome themes and location based reminders, Orderly makes sure that a task never goes unnoticed.

Once a to-do is created, it is displayed on one of three shelves using Apple's bookshelf metaphor: High Priority, Medium, and Low. Users can instantly view all their To-Dos, expand and contract them with pinch gestures, edit items, change their priority, mark them as complete, or swipe them to delete. The app includes two full-screen bookshelves, Home and Work, allowing users to keep To-Dos posted according to priority and location.

The extraordinary simplicity, practicality, and design of Orderly sets it apart from the many To-Do apps available. Having concluded that pinches and swipes are ergonomically more efficient than taps (which require hitting a target button), Tekton Technologies has employed the fundamental principles of human factors to design a To-Do list app that is highly efficient, instantly informative, and accommodates to the daily needs of real people. With its intuitive gesture based commands, the learning curve for the app and all its features is about one minute.

Feature Highlights:
* Gesture driven interface
* Visually move tasks on the board view
* Never miss a task, with powerful Location based reminders
* Cloud sync now enhanced with Box platform
* DropBox sync tasks across multiple devices
* Automatically re-prioritises your To-Do tasks based on the day
* Pinch to zoom in/out, to have a quick glimpse of the To-Do
* Automatic reminders and management of your daily to-do lists

"Orderly - Tasks and To-Do Lists is the most natural way to create your To-Do lists using simple iPhone gestures," states Tekton Technologies. "All your tasks and to-dos are presented as simple visual list notes, so that you can create to-dos and post them on your board. This App allows you to prioritize your to-do tasks, without the hassle of misplacing a note or forgetting an item, just because there are too many to-dos to manage. The best part of the app is that Orderly automatically prioritizes your to-dos by moving around those list notes."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 16.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Orderly 2.8 is now available at a price of $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. Review copies are available on request.

Griffin & Sabine by Nick Bantock Re-Imagined as Interactive Apps - Published on 03/13/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Griffin & Sabine: The Interactive Trilogy is the latest work by author Nick Bantock in collaboration with software development and creative content studio, Bound Press in Santa Monica. Bantock, along with Bound Press, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise production and marketing funds for the project due to ship to consumers in Summer 2015. The campaign has already garnered Kickstarter's coveted 'Staff Pick' status.

Santa Monica, California - Griffin & Sabine: The Interactive Trilogy is the latest work by author Nick Bantock in collaboration with software development and creative content studio, Bound Press in Santa Monica. Bantock, along with Bound Press, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise production and marketing funds for the project due to ship to consumers in Summer 2015. The campaign has already garnered Kickstarter's coveted 'Staff Pick' status.

Griffin & Sabine: The Interactive Trilogy is a story that includes whimsical artwork, a custom soundtrack and handwritten correspondence in a digital form. This story details the life of Griffin Moss, a postcard designer living in London, and his correspondence with Sabine Strohem, a stamp illustrator living in the South Pacific. The new app versions will include a 3D space and some additional interactive and new creative content not developed for any version of these stories.

Nick Bantock:
Nick began writing at age 40 and has since published 26 books. Eleven of his works have appeared on best-seller lists, including three on the New York Times Top Ten list at once. The Griffin and Sabine story stayed on that list for more than two years and was later followed by a second trilogy. His works have been translated into 14 languages with more than 5 million sales worldwide.

Bound Press, a new publication firm, was started by Dave Nichols and Scott Wolfe, both with more than 20 years of experience in creative advertising and software development. According to them, "When we decided to embark on this voyage with Nick, we were extremely excited. Not only do we get to continue to do what we love in developing these types of experiences, but we get to work with a creative mind that we truly admire. Beyond that was the opportunity to engage on an aspect of life that has been a part of the human experience for thousands of years. The art of writing - and not just writing, but the art of writing by hand. In this age we live in, with all of the wonderful technology, we gain so much, but we also lose a little along the way."

The book will be an interactive experience that begins when readers arrive at Griffin Moss's studio to find it empty. They must examine clues by exploring Griffin's letters to determine what has happened to him. Three separate apps will be created for each volume, featuring whimsical animation, an original score and bonus content.

ABC MAGIC PHONICS 5-Connecting Sounds, Letters and Pictures for iOS - Published on 03/13/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minneapolis based Preschool University today announce an upgrade for ABC MAGIC PHONICS 5-Connecting Sounds, Letters and Pictures 2.02 for iOS. Featuring three levels of sequential learning for English learners to master, in ABC MAGIC PHONICS children drag and draw lines to connect sounds, letters and images. Children build a strong phonics foundation and gives them the skills and the practice they need to be able to identify by ear which sounds, letters and pictures go together.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Preschool University today is proud to announce an upgrade of ABC MAGIC PHONICS 5-Connecting Sounds, Letters and Pictures 2.02 for iOS. This is the first app in the ABC MAGIC series to have a huge update that includes more levels, more sounds and more images. This app helps children build a strong phonics foundation and gives them the skills and the practice they need to be able to identify by ear which sounds, letters and pictures go together.

This app has three levels of sequential learning for English learners to master. The sequence is designed to take the learner from the concrete to the abstract; from not knowing anything about letters to having good phonemic awareness. The app uses sounds, images and letters. The free version has three lessons that each focus on a particular step of the Alphabetic Principle.

* Matching Sounds to Images
* Matching Sounds to Lowercase Letters
* Matching Letters to Images

This app features four phonetic images for each letter. Each word in each of the groupings uses only the most common sound for each letter. For instance, 'igloo' and 'inchworm' would be used for the letter i, but not 'ice' nor 'ivy' as those begin with long i (the second most used sound for the letter i). "This is an important concept for teaching beginning readers - to start by teaching only the most commonly used sound of each letter," says Preschool University President, Richard Colombini.

ABC MAGIC PHONICS 5-Connecting Sounds, Letters and Pictures operates in portrait orientation. From the Home Page, users can select one of the three choices for games.

On the home page, three rectangles can be seen that each have an arrow in the middle of them. By tapping the top rectangle, the app user is brought to the first game. Four twirling stars spin to a stop on the left side of the app screen and 4 twirling images spin to a stop on the right side of the app screen. Each star and each image, when tapped, will sound off. Each sound star will say the sound of a letter when touched. Each picture will say its name when touched. By tapping the squares on the left, the user can hear, "/r/, /a/, /v/, /w/." By tapping the squares on the right, the user can hear, "rice, wagon, astronaut, volcano."

The object is to connect a sound on the left with the image that begins with that sound on the right. A success is revealed by the pictures staying connected with the colored yarn. An incorrect guess will have the yarn disappear. Using the previous examples, the app user would tap on the sound star that says "/r/" and drag the colored yarn from there across to the rice image. The app user would then tap on the sound star that says "/a/" and drag the colored yarn from there across to the astronaut image. Play continues until all of the pictures are connected. Once all four connections have been made; then a new screen will appear, just like before with sound stars on the left and images on the right. There is a counter at the bottom of the screen that keeps track of how many screens have been cleared.

The second game is accessed from the middle rectangle on the home page. This game involves connecting sound stars to letters. Sound stars appear on the left side of the app screen and letters appear on the right side of the app screen. This game is played in the same exact way as the first game, except, that now, the sound stars are matched to letters. The app user picks a sound from the left and drags the colored yarn line across the screen to the matching letter on the right. Once each screen is cleared, the counter at the bottom will increase by one. At 100, after 100 screens have been cleared, there will be a spinning sun that displays with music.

The third game is played like the first two games. The third game is different in that it has letters on the left side of the app screen and images on the right side of the app screen. The object is to match the letters on the left with their matching images on the right

These games are designed so that children can do them independently after being given the basic instructions of how to play the games. The app has built-in feedback mechanisms to help children work independently. These mechanisms allow children to learn at their own pace and in their own way.

Seven additional levels can be unlocked for an in-App purchase of $1.99.
* Matching Sounds to Sounds
* Matching Images to Images
* Matching Lowercase Letters to Lowercase Letters
* Matching Uppercase Letters to Uppercase Letters
* Matching Sounds to Uppercase Letters
* Matching Uppercase Letters to Images
* Matching Lowercase Letters to Uppercase Letters

This in-app purchase also includes eight more images per letter, two additional voice choices and the ability to change the number of items being matched from 3-6 items per side.

Feature Highlights:
* Choose from one of three lessons
* Every image, letter and sound star will always sound out when touched
* App has built in feedback mechanisms to encourage child learning
* Learn The Alphabetic Principle
* Develop Phonemic Awareness
* Learn How Sounds Relate to Words
* Learn Letter-Sound Correspondence
* Gain proficiency in the use of the sounds of the letters
* Gain Proficiency with Auditory Discrimination

"A team of educators using accelerated learning techniques and Montessori principles developed this fun app, which your child will enjoy using as they learn," stated Richard Colombini of Preschool University. "It has been tested and successfully used with preschoolers."

Device Requirements:
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* This app is optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
