nVeil - New image remix tool for Mac: joins photos/video with vector art - Published on 06/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Storek Studio today introduces nVeil for Mac OS X, its innovative new graphic remix tool for Mac OS X. nVeil generates works of digital abstract cubism by filtering photos or video through vector-drawn veils. Colors and motion come from the source imagery, and can then be further modified with nVeil's controls. nVeil plays with the hidden image, always displaying a harmonic palette of colors, and syncs most music with nVeiled video, through the proximal incidence algorithm.

Mill Valley, California - Storek Studio today is delighted to announce the release of nVeil for Mac OS X. nVeil invents a new art form: nVeil is is a graphic remix tool for Mac that plays with the hidden image, always displaying a harmonic palette of colors, and most music syncs with nVeiled video through a proximal incidence algorithm.

nVeil generates works of digital abstract cubism, after the pioneers, Picasso, Matisse, Klee and others, by filtering photos or video through vector-drawn veils (100 are included in the nVeil Library, and are easily custom user-drawn). Colors and motion come from the source imagery, and can then be further modified with nVeil's controls.

nVeil began as an optical television display filter, inspired by the blurred glow from a tv seen at long distance, displaying unintended abstract color and motion, a new creative visual resource discovered. nVeil is designed for anyone with a Mac wanting to explore the remixing of images with veils (simple vector line drawings) and music, including photographers, graphic artists, typographers, music/video makers and all the rest of us. It is now two Mac apps that can be seen in action on nVeil's website, nVplay and nVmake.

Things you can do with nVeil:
* Create stained-glass-like abstractions that morph into the source image, and reverse
* Create a harmonic palette of colors drawn from the source imagery
* Allow portions of the source image to remain unveiled, nVeiling the rest
* nVeil a live video camera feed
* Add selected colors or reverse colors in portions (cells) of the veil
* Create active overlay logo bugs that vary by the image colors behind
* Discover almost any music syncs with nVeiled video
* Create a bunch of new things we have yet to discover

System Requirements:
* OSX 10.7 (Lion) and above

Pricing and Availability:
It is comprised of two Mac apps, nVplay and nVmake. nVplay is $29 (USD) and includes 100 predesigned veils. nVmake, the veil-making app, goes for $39. Both apps bundled are $49 (USD). Subscribers will be sent how-to videos, tips, the nVeil User Guide and new uses.

Unforgettable Cast of Egg-Themed Characters Feature in Eggward's Lab - Published on 06/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Matata Corporation UK Limited today introduces Eggward's Lab 1.7, their new no-cost game title for iOS and Android devices. Eggward's Lab stars a cast of unforgettable egg-themed characters who guide gamers through a series of puzzles, where they must horizontally, vertically match up 3, 4 or 5 similarly-depicted dessert icons that include: cookies, pastries, ice cream cones, cakes, and more. Each level has a maximum number of moves allowed, any unused moves earn players bonuses and coins.

Cupertino, California - Fans of matching games apps who want to take their Candy Crush Saga and Bejeweled addictions to a whole new level, can now head over to the App Store or Google Play and download the wonderful new no-cost offering Eggward's Lab from Matata Corporation UK Limited.

The creative app - which has no in-app advertising of any kind - stars a cast of unforgettable egg-themed characters who guide gamers through a series of puzzles, where they must horizontally or vertically match up 3, 4 or 5 similarly-depicted dessert icons that include: cookies, pastries, ice cream cones, cakes, and more.

Each level has a maximum number of moves allowed, any unused moves earn players bonuses and coins - which means that gamers need to think strategically as well as tactically. Of course, a little help never hurts, and Eggward's Lab features some cool power-ups to change the order of tiles, get a bonus move, and so on. And since there are over 60 levels - and more added bi-weekly - gamers don't have to worry about getting bored.

However, while the inventive game play, colorful graphics, and delightful music and sound are all good reasons to give Eggward's Lab a try, what is going to make the biggest impression on most gamers is the app's truly unique cast of egg-themed characters, who include:

* "Eggward Smith", who dreams of opening up his laboratory so that he can share his love of desserts with people all over the world
* "Madeleine Stucchi", a former opera singer who once during a particularly strenuous aria hit such a clear, high note that her audience of eggs freaked out lest they end up being scrambled
* "Pia MacDonald", a cooking protege who Eggward discovered after accidentally TiVo'ing her show Little Miss Egg instead of Masterchef
* "Donato", who was born in Eggward's Lab shortly after Eggward's brief foray into the world of genetic engineering
* "Greggory Filatov", who applies his engineering talents to efficiently produce some of the world's best desserts
* "Reggie Guttmann", who loves a good dessert almost as much as he loves himself, and when not baking can be found posting a ridiculous number of selfies to Instagram

"We created Eggward's Lab to give gamers an exciting and fun way to celebrate their love of matching games and, especially, their fondness for delectable desserts," commented Matata Enrico Pitono. "And best of all, gamers don't have to worry about gaining weight, even if they play for hundreds of hours. However, it's entirely possible that when they take a break from the action, they might find themselves with a craving for some ice cream, cakes, puddings and so on. So perhaps it would be better not to play in the kitchen!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 68.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Eggward's Lab 1.7, the new no-cost matching game that features an unforgettable cast of egg-themed characters, is available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

Ultra Addictive New No-Cost Game - CubX is a Tetris Lovers' Dream - Published on 06/03/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

T&T announces CubX 1.2, an update to their no-cost ultra addictive game title for iOS and Android devices. Featuring a detachable platform, falling and rising blocks, multiple game modes & cool boosters, players must skillfully catch falling blocks, which are called "tetrominos," in order to create lines, which then disappear. If you don't do this quickly or often enough, the game will end and you'll have to start over. Version 1.2 adds translations for Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese.

Cupertino, California - Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, millions of people around the world spent an enormous amount of time happily moving blocks around to feed their never-ending Tetris obsession. Fast forward a few decades, and developers T&T have taken things to a whole new level with their ultra addictive new no-cost game CubX.

Available for both iOS and Android devices, CubX echoes Tetris in the sense that users must skillfully catch falling blocks (which the app calls "tetrominos") in order to create lines, which then disappear. Failing to do this often or quickly enough ends the game. However, CubX is by no means a Tetris knock-off, because there are four innovative aspects that are sure to create a whole new generation of addicted fans: the platform, the orientation, multiple games, and boosters.

* The platform is a bar that users move around their screen, in order to carefully and cleverly catch blocks, and therefore clear more lines.

* Orientation refers to the fact that the blocks don't just drop from the top-down. They also "float" from the bottom-up. This is made possible by the above-noted movable platform.

* Users can also switch between six challenging and fun game modes, including: Classic, CubX, Arcade (start with some blocks), Time Trial (beat the clock), Contract (do whatever the game demands), and Missions (complete over 120 missions or levels).

* Users can also unlock four boosters in order to: clear the entire screen, clear the upper part of the screen, clear the lower part of the screen, or remove residues from the screen.

Other CubX special features include:
* Sharp high-resolution graphics
* A tutorial to help new users get familiar with the gameplay
* Leaderboard integration to earn bragging rights
* Excellent music and sound effects

"The idea behind CubX is very simple to understand: users don't control the pieces anymore. Instead they control the platform that catches the pieces," commented Jean-Baptiste Truong of T&T. "But mastering CubX is a totally different story! Some of the higher levels are totally mind-bending, and users will need all of their skill to clear lines, score points, and keep the tetrominos from winning the day!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 17.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
CubX 1.2X, the ultra-addictive new no-cost game that is a Tetris lovers' dream, is available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.
