Launch of Endless Floater Arcade Game MICROGEE - Published on 10/09/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent game studio Moe Bull Corporation is proud to launch the dreamy, space-themed, arcade game MICROGEE on the App Store. Created by Darren Murtha, he was inspired by games that have the sensation of flight and popular minimalistic, retro, arcade games that feature simple, geometric obstacles and clever level design. MICROGEE is a dream in micro-gravity. The player changes gravity by tapping on either side of the screen.

London, Ontario, Canada - Independent game studio Moe Bull Corporation is proud to launch the dreamy, space-themed, arcade game MICROGEE on the App Store. Created by Darren Murtha, he was inspired by games that have the sensation of flight and popular minimalistic, retro, arcade games that feature simple, geometric obstacles and clever level design.

The main menu MICROGEE suggests a small backstory to this casual game. Standing next to his bed and arcade cabinet, this serious gamer has fallen asleep and dreams he is inside the arcade game, floating endlessly until he wakes up abruptly hitting something painful like a wall of spikes, or being eaten head first by a one-eyed-all-mouth alien, or spinning uncontrollably into glowing green goo, trapped in a security field, disintegrated by a laser beam, or pinched by some autonomous, robotic claws. The variety of obstacles, character death animations, and dynamically generated levels, keeps gameplay fun and challenging.

MICROGEE is a dream in micro-gravity. The player changes gravity by tapping on either side of the screen. The left side to decrease gravity and the right side to increase gravity. Often, a player will speed up gravity quickly by tapping repeatedly and then counter the pull of gravity by tapping the other side of the screen at just the right moment to float between obstacles.

A unique and challenging game design element in MICROGEE is the character's shape is tall and narrow and floating in space, spinning head over heals, requires impeccable timing to avoid obstacles.

To create the sensation of floating, players enjoy a relaxing twenty-two minute, space-themed soundtrack. In the first week of use, MICROGEE has already garnered a Nomination for "Touch Arcade Forum Game of the Week." Existing Touch Arcade Forum members who enjoy MICROGEE can show their support of the game by voting for it.

Touch Arcade Silver-Supporter Qwertz555 had this to say about the game at launch, "Just download it for the sake of this brilliant chilled space soundtrack! Oh, and I'm in love with the game itself as well. To control the gravity's momentum (and counter-steer with one or a few quick taps) took me some time, as well as the great ragdoll physics so position yourself, whenever possible, to overcome all those mean aliens and traps...Mesmerizing combination."

Senior Forum Member paulkane says "A perfect compliment after watching 'The Martian' last night. I dig the floaty mechanic. It works really well."

App discovery can be an hard for finding games since new games can be buried at the bottom of search results. Moe Bull Corporation has set up an easy to remember website URL for telling friends and family about MICROGEE while they are anywhere by sharing 'Endless Floater dot com.'

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 29.2 MB

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

picQuote 1.0 for iOS - Transform Words into Beautifully Designed Artwork - Published on 10/09/15

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

G-Power Team today announces the release of picQuote 1.0 for iOS devices. picQuote transforms sayings, quotes, or any other text into beautifully rendered artwork, perfect for sharing on popular social networks, or via text messages or email with friends and family. picQuote offers beautifully designed templates that allow users to tap into their own thoughts and moods, and then with just a few swipes, taps, and adjustments, create a beautiful designed finished image that is ready for sharing.

Xi'An, China - G-Power Team is today proud to announce the release and immediate availability of picQuote 1.0 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. picQuote will transform any saying, quote, or other text into beautifully designed artwork, perfect for posting on social networks - such as Facebook or Instagram - or for sharing via text messages or emails, offering the opportunity for anyone to express themselves anytime, and anywhere.

Professional designers have created beautiful templates in various styles for picQuote, in order to match any type of quote or other entered text. Users will find that they need only to tap into their own thoughts, moods or feelings, and then make use of the convenient backgrounds, color themes, or even their own photos, to create endless combinations of beautiful picQuotes.

"Everyone enjoys the beautifully designed quote graphics they see everywhere on the Internet," says Eric Ge, of the G-Power Team. "However, not everyone possesses the artistic talent, or graphics knowledge to create them. That's why we created picQuote. Using our new app, anyone can craft beautifully designed graphics by merely supplying their own thoughts or a favorite quote, and then with just a few taps on their iPhone, they have an attractive, professionally crafted picQuote, perfect for sharing on their favorite social network, or via email or text."

Features:
* Highlighted words: Powerful highlighted word effects to better convey the true meaning of the words
* picQuote templates: 23+ well-designed picQuote templates to match any words
* Color combinations: Multiple color combinations for each template
* Customize with photos: Anyone can use their own favorite photo as a background
* Designed backgrounds: Use backgrounds by professional designers as hand-crafted backgrounds
* Picture edit tools: Filters and blur effects to aid in creating the best picQuotes

Creating a picQuote is a simple, five-step process. First, enter the text to be displayed in the picQuote. This can be a famous quote, or something the user comes up with from their own thoughts. Even if a user comes up blank for their own quote or saying, they can simply press the cycle icon on the screen, and picQuote will randomly select a quote to use.

Next comes the text selection process. Using their finger, anyone can select the text they wish to show as highlighted text. This helps certain words to stand out in the finished graphic, helping to better get the meaning of the picQuote across to the reader.

Step three involves deciding on the theme of the picQuote. A number of ready-made themes are supplied with picQuote, and by simply scrolling through the themes, a user can select the perfect one for their picQuote by simply tapping on the theme that appeals to them. Additional theme templates are available via a convenient in-app purchase.

Now the user is ready to select the color theme for their picQuote. Users can select from several handy color schemes to enhance the look of their picQuote. While on this screen, it is also easy to add any of the built-in background textures, or any photos from the user's Photo Album to the quote. Image effects, including blur and various filters, can be applied to the photos. If desired, background images can also be turned off completely, if a simple look is what the user is looking for.

The fifth, and final step involves sharing the completed picQuote. Users can share their creation via Instagram, Facebook, text messages, and email. Creations can also be saved to the device's Photo Album for later use. While the free version places an unobtrusive picQuote notice on the final shared creation, a handy in-app purchase allows sharing without the watermark.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7 or higher
* 42.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
picQuote 1.0 is free, and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo and Video category. In-app purchases are available to access additional picQuote template and background design bundles, and the ability to share picQuotes without a watermark.
