Super Boise, chock full of grit and hell-bent on crafting the best slice of gaming your starved mind has ever tasted. Based out of the Island City of Manhattan we’re constantly trying to find ways to inject more pure unadulterated awesomeness into every aspect of our games. Copyright (C) 2011 Super Boise.

Zagreb, Croatia – Curious Bit, an innovative mobile game developer focused on creating imaginative and original titles, has today announced the release of an update to Perfect Slice for the iPhone and iPod touch, as well as for Perfect Slice HD for the iPad and iPad 2. To celebrate the launch of Perfect Slice HD version 1.1 the developer has also announced a very limited time sale on the application that will see it’s price slashed to only $0.99 (USD). This addicting, zen-inspired game, tasks players with the deceptively challenging goal of slicing variously shaped objects in half as quickly and accurately as they can. As part of its update, Perfect Slice HD version 1.1 has been outfitted with full OpenFeint and Game Center integration, something fans of the game have been eagerly awaiting for some time now. Perfect Slice HD is now available on the Apple App Store for the promotional price of $0.99 (USD) in the Games category.

The unique mobile game perfectly illustrates why the axiom “the simpler the better” rings as true as it does. Instead of complex and convoluted gaming mechanisms and narratives, Perfect Slice HD simply gives users a single seemingly simple task – slicing a variety of objects as close to perfectly in half as they can – and allows them to freely play away in pursuit of achieving just that. The game includes two unique modes of play, Line Slice and Freestyle, which challenge players to cut objects on their iPad’s screen either using only a straight line or any shaped line they choose respectively. These two modes create completely different gameplay dynamics and in essence offer players the value of two games in one.

Perfect Slice HD version 1.1 is an expansive game in every sense of the word. With over a hundred sliceable objects – ranging from pumpkins to snowmen – split up into ten vastly diverse level packs, there’s no shortage of uniquely entertaining gameplay to be had. For more socially inclined or outright competitive iPad gamers, the game’s update has been especially fruitful. Now players are free to compete for bragging rights with other users the world over via the app’s newly included interactive online leaderboards courtesy of OpenFeint, as well as through its full integration with Apple’s own Game Center as well. With dozens of awards and achievements to unlock, slicing the time away one vibrant illustration at a time has never been so much fun with Perfect Slice HD!

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later
* 14.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Perfect Slice HD 1.1 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Stockholm, Sweden – Brainglass, an educational mobile application developer, today announces the release of the Learn English Reading Obama 1.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch. The app allows users, with a basic understanding of the English language, a fun and easy way to improve their English by providing an audio-visual experience for learning the English language that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. The reader takes President Obama’s historic inaugural speech – made after he was sworn into office as the President of the U.S. – as its main resource.

Learn English Reading Obama offers users a more efficient way to learn English by using an audio-visual approach to learning. Using the app consists of a combination of listening via Audiobook while reading the app’s highlighted on-screen text at the same time. Unknown words can directly be looked up in the app’s multi-language dictionary by simply tapping on the word. Once users do this their chosen words can be saved to the app’s personalized language exercises for later reference. After users have saved enough words, they can go ahead and learn them by simply opening these exercises and going for it! Users can now also review and learn saved words using flashcards and spelling exercises to fully understand Obama’s speech to the fullest.

Besides an app focusing on Obama’s oath of office speech, Brainglass has more titles available in iTunes to diversify user’s English language education, featuring a diverse array of interesting English texts. Based on Karaoke4English’s effective flashcard learning methodology users can improve their spelling and vocabulary using self-selected exercises with any one of these unique apps. Brainglass’ learning algorithm remembers words users have saved and how often they do exercises, together with tracking scores they get on individual exercises. Based on this, the app guides users intelligently and easily through the maze that is English language learning.

In order to ensure that the app remains flexible enough to be utilized by as many non-English speakers as possible, Karaoke4English’s interactive dictionary includes automatic translation from English to Spanish, German, Russian, French, and Italian, with more languages scheduled to become available in the near future.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1.3 or later
* 11.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Learn English Reading Obama 1.0 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.
