About You Gotta See This!
Recently named “App of the Day,” and “Top App” by MSN Tech & Gadget UK, You Gotta See This! has been topping charts and wowing users all over the world. “You Gotta See This! is an app you can have fun with at concerts, scenic landmarks, and other places that you wish to share with family and friends,” iPhone Life Magazine.

Designed originally for iPhone 4 technology, You Gotta See This! gives users the ability to choose between two built-in cameras, hit record, point, and capture their surroundings in an arbitrary, 3D fashion for eye-catching results. Two significant features are utilized; the option to use either of the two cameras, and the new gyroscope technology, now available in the iPod touch 4th Generation, which determines the camera orientation for recording and positioning each captured image on a flat surface to create dreamlike spatial collages. The images come together to create seemingly abstract and emotionally stimulating visual representations of everyday atmospheres. Choose between six amazing themes, including “Polaroid Stone,” “Light Table Collage,” “Vintage Fabric,” “Magic Light,” “Dark Table Collage,” and “Wall of Tiles,” to give your images an added artistic and personal flair. Once your images are displayed, “You Gotta See This!” allows users to share their collages with friends via Twitter, Facebook or e-mail, or simply save to your iPhone camera roll for later presentation.

Limburgerhof, Germany – smuttlewerk today is pleased to announce their new and upcoming game, Companions. “Companions” is a top-view “RPG/Dungeon Crawler” for Apple’s iPad, where you lead a team of four characters into real-time battles against the false god “Detexx” and the “Hordes of Nether”. The game is playable as a campaign with a full-fledged storyline or as a single-map experience, packed with achievements and leaderboards (Gamecenter & OpenFeint). Both modes are single player only.

The game contains elements of “Roguelike” and “Dungeon-Crawler” games, as well as RPG and action-tactics elements. Maps and characters are displayed in 2D top-view. The characters have skills. Like other RPG’s these skills utilize a cooldown mechanism, so timing is very important. These skills get better if the player chooses to level them up. The clever use of the skills is one of the core play elements.

Each race and class favours different weapons and combat techniques:
* The Minotaur is apt in close combat fighting
* The Dwarf builds traps and tower structures
* The Elf uses her deadly long-range weapons
* The Human is gifted with powerful magic spells

There are three classes available for each race and every class has unique skills and bonuses. Each class plays differently, so lots of replay value is guaranteed. The map sizes vary from huge to small. Different goals on each map lead to different experiences of how the game is played. Sometimes portals leading to the nether-plane must be closed, other times survival for a given time is the objective, to mention just two.

The game is played in real time, but through the use of the tactical pause you are able to issue orders to your characters while the enemies are paused. Enemy creatures vary in type and strength. Some are quick, some cumbersome, while others favour ranged combat instead of close in fighting. Bosses usually have special skills of their own, making them especially deadly.

Feature List
* Lots of enemy creatures
* Challenging Boss fights
* Fine artwork
* Rewarding battles
* Powerful items
* 4 player races
* Level up 34 unique skills
* Tactical pause option
* Different play styles
* High replay value
* Engaging story

3 classes for each race:
* Minotaur: Berserker, Gladiator, Bull
* Elf: Assassin, Archer, Ranger
* Dwarf: Engineer, Draftsman, Miner
* Human: Light, Matter, Void

Localization
The game will be published in English and German. Other languages will be integrated after the game has been released.

Release Date
The game will be released in May 2011. The release will feature the campaign mode with an engaging story line and a survival mode featuring achievements and leaderboards.

Charlottesville, Virginia – Mobile technology has changed education in one dramatic way – students now, literally, work anywhere at anytime. This has raised an interesting problem; that is, students often find themselves without a knowledgeable resource nearby to which they can ask questions. The problem is further exasperated by online education where there is virtually no person-to-person interaction.

“Niles Technology Group first started offering a live writing assistant in the Achievers Writing Center app series,” explains Michael Niles, President of Niles Technology Group. “The response was somewhat surprising in that we really did it as a service for existing customers, but found it attracted two new customer bases – the repeat student purchaser and schools that volume purchase educational apps. Clearly, there is a need for students to receive assistance the same way they work, which means anywhere at anytime.”

Teachers and schools are finding enormous value in the apps. They are volume buying apps such as Achievers Writing Center – Essential Essays with live writing assistant and editing. The apps continuously receive accolades and recognition. Most recently, they were chosen, by Apple, as both a top 10 English Language Arts and a top 10 Study-Aid app.

“Essay writing, really, writing in general, is one of the hardest disciplines to learn. And, as a student, it becomes frustrating very quickly if one is stuck and does not have a good instructional template to follow,” further explains Mr. Niles. “Achievers Writing Center apps alleviate that frustration by providing detailed step-by-step instructions on how to write over 40 types of essays. Plus, if a student ever gets stuck, he simply emails a live writing assistant for help. The net result is the student gets help, and a load is taken off a very busy teacher.”

Achievers Writing Center is the answer to students learning to write well in a mobile environment. For schools, the apps reduce the work load on teachers and expands the writing curriculum. Mobile Learning is part of today’s classroom, and Niles Technology Group is dedicated to providing students with top-of-the-line educational apps. Contact Michael Niles at the Niles Technology Group for more information.

Sunnyvale, California – Personal Applets Corporation today is pleased to announce the release of Tennis Flirt, the game which enhances the iPhone social networking experience by combining a game of tennis with socializing, just like in a real life tennis game. One can chat and socialize with their tennis partner, meet others who share an interest in a game of tennis and make new friends or even more.

Users can choose between two game types: bounce tennis and open tennis; play solo to practice skills or initiate a game with somebody from their friend list. Or they can be more adventurous and get connected to a random player, which can be optionally chosen to be male or female. Tennis Flirt features 32 motivating achievements and 3 leaderboards: for solo play, playing with friends and playing with a random person. Apart from that, while playing tennis, users can enjoy a voice chat with their opponent on English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Chinese or Japanese.

The game is very simple to learn and play. Players control the bat by means of a touch-based interface and the ball direction through an accelerometer based control. At higher difficulty levels users can use the entire field and come close to the net. There is also an option for spin-effects, which causes the ball to move in a curve, which players can successfully use to confuse their opponent.

“Game Center with internet based multi-player gaming and voice-chat really brings out the social atmosphere in Tennis Flirt. What strengthens this experience is a unique way of making the achievements: some of them have to be earned by receiving a smiley reward from your opponent. We are concerned about users’ privacy, that’s why Game Center user id remains anonymous for the opponent, until players decide to give a smiley reward.” – says Marco Heddes, president of Personal Applets Corporation.
