Addictive Action-Arcade Game - Chin Up - Rises Up on iOS and Android

LaSalle, ON,  CA   May 23, 2012

[prMac.com] LaSalle (ON) Canada - Touch Village, mobile game and application publisher, announced today that their new action-arcade game, Chin Up, is now available for download on the App Store. Chin Up stars Mr. Chin, a nimble construction worker under siege by a torrential downpour of the most bizarre items to ever fall on a construction site. Various food products (sushi, dumplings, bowls of rice), living creatures (fish, dogs, cats, horses), parts of former living creatures (severed cat heads, brains). It's sort of like a politically incorrect version of the classic arcade game, Crazy Climber.

As Mr. Chin heads skyward on his bamboo scaffold, you can shift him from one side to the other, tilting the platform and dispatching dangerous debris. You can also swing the platform to position Mr. Chin for a needed power-up or dodge an incoming killer bird. But be careful with that platform or you'll dump Mr. Chin to the hard ground far below (and then, Mr. Chin will hate you forever). Mr. Chin will travel to construction sites around the world - from the great Wall of China to Vatican City for a battle with The Devil himself. Every level has its own unique droppings, as well as a special life meter that 'tastefully' reflects the atmosphere.

Device Requirements:

* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* 52.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:

Chin Up 1.0.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Astavoid 1.0.1 released for iOS and Android devices - Fun Action Game


London,  GB   Apr 22, 2012

[prMac.com] London, United Kingdom - Parachuting Frog today is proud to announce the release of Astavoid 1.0.1, an update to their first multi platform title available on iOS and Android devices. Astavoid is a survival arcade, action game. Your fate is sealed but how long can you survive? You are put into the position of the captain of a stricken ship, no weapons, limited controls and heading to an asteroid belt. Like all good captains you are prepared to go down but not without a fight. The game has a unique twist as a 2.5D action survival action game where you use your skills to dodge the asteroids and continue as long as you can.

This is the first of Parachuting Frogs' games that was orginally born out of the idea of applying the 10,000 hour principle to mobile game development. Talent has little to do with success according to research conducted by Dr. K. Anders Ericsson, a theory Parachuting Frog first came across through reading Outlier by Malcolm Gladwell. The theory being that elite performers engage in 'deliberate practice' - and focused activity designed to improve target performance. This principal is behind the 10,000 hour theory.

Parachuting Frog furthered their investigation into this area by looking into other practitioners of this theory and came across thedanplan, amongst others, who also wanted to prove the theory from novice golfer to PGA tour professional in this instance. Parachuting Frog decided to apply the principle to that of mobile game development focusing on cross platform games for mobile devices.

What's New in Version 1.0.1
* Pause game on lock
* Explosion working on impact
* Refine speed on asteroids on restart / new game
* Refine difficulty across all devices
* Ensure music doesn't restart when stopped on return to main menu
* Ensure smooth transition of asteroids from right hand screen and not suddenly appearing
* Sharpened asteroids on back two layers

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 7.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Astavoid 1.0.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Astavoid is also available for Android, Kindle Fire and Nook Color devices and is free to download. Any further questions should be directed to Sarah Parker.


Located in London, United Kingdom, Parachuting Frog is a small, privately held indie development studio established by Sarah Parker.

iOS Puzzle Game Arabian Tiles Inspired By Android lock screen Released


Brisbane,  AU   Apr 12, 2012

[prMac.com] Brisbane, Australia - Webback Services, an Australian-based technology company has announced that Version 2.0 of iOS puzzle game Arabian Tiles, inspired by the Android secret pattern-based lock screen has released on the app store.

"There is a clear fascination with the android lock screen among some iOS users, with fake android lock screen apps appearing on the top charts of many iOS stores. As a former Android user, one of the funnest parts of the OS was the lock-screen. So I thought, why not make it even funner and make it an actual game." a Webback Services developer described.

The purpose of the game is to link together colours, similar to how you would unlock an android phone by dragging across the screen to form your secret pattern. Of course, the developers have added other elements such as combos, chains, and power-ups. This combination has created a highly addictive game.

The company also is also going against the trend of in-app purchases. The game does have a store, however the items in the store can only be bought with in-game currency, which are golden coins earned while playing the game.

"The current trend of in-app purchases is getting out of hand. Consumers should not be supporting games that want you to spend $1.99 to get a single virtual weapon."

Version 2.0 of the App has the following updates:
* Added a new level with an 8-bit theme
* Added 4 more tracks to the soundtrack
* Added a new power: pixels!
* Chain System added rewarding speed play
* Levels added in Arcade Mode. Higher levels increase the drop rate of coins, but the difficulty increases
* Cleaned up gameplay interface
* Fixed bugs

Pricing and Availability:
Arabian Tiles 2.0 is available for $0.99 USD from the App Store in the Arcade and Puzzle Game categories. The game supports the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
