• Defend hotties from a motley crew of nerds while making love connections. Hottie Hookups is a whole new kind of time management game for the iPhone & iPod touch created by the designer and programmer behind the #1 iPhone game Sally’s Spa. Draw lines to connect hotties dancing on a variety of trendy dance floors. Once you’ve hooked up the hotties, defend them from a variety of nerds by flicking, tilting, or shaking them off. After the hotties have had enough time to groove together, send them away in a taxi to continue the party!
• Small Wonders S.L. has made their fascinatingly odd and original, linear strategy game for the iPhone and iPod touch even better. With OpenFeint leaderboard and achievement integration, as well as an improved AI and harder difficulty levels, Small Wonders has added some of the most requested features to Battle of Puppets. Also, in celebration of the update, and as a thank you to all its dedicated fans, Battle of Puppets is now only $.99 for the next week in the iTunes App Store! Promo codes are available to press upon request.
• Penpower Inc. has launched their newest contact management tool for the iPhone and iPod touch called WorldCard Contacts. Worldcard Contacts is designed to replace the existing contacts manager in the devices, and adds new features specially designed for business users.
• Let Car Control enchant you with its 1950s charm. With its latest freemium title, HandyGames brings the Rock’n'Roll and lifestyle of the fifties to your iPhone and iPod touch. Traffic chaos will ensue all over the city unless you take action. Cars of different color have to reach their designated targets by using a complex street network. In order to guide them there, you have to switch road junctions to the correct position. It’s the only way to avoid crashes, to clear traffic jams and to make sure that everyone has a save trip. The faster you guide all cars to the exits—and the fewer errors you make—the more points you will receive at the end of the level.
• WaKi Apps—in collaboration with Travel Medicine Specialist Dr Deborah Mills—have released their new iPhone app Travel Health, the only comprehensive guide on the iTunes App Store specifically designed to help travelers look after their health whilst overseas. The app is available for free to download in the next 2 days before the price is set to $9.99.
• For over 120 years, Gela Skins’ newest collaborator has earned itself the honour of being one of the most recognized and highly regarded scientific and educational institutions on the planet. Their photography of the natural world is the industry standard and second to none. Really, when it comes to this universe of ours, they’ve got it covered. That’s why Gela Sins is excited to announce the National Geographic Society as their latest addition. Simply beautiful.
