06/21/2012 - Flaregames Releases Huge Update for BraveSmartflaregames Releases Huge Update for Runaway Hit BraveSmart
KARLSRUHE,
Germany – June 21, 2012 - flaregames GmbH, a mobile games company, today announced the first major update for its
popular puzzle strategy game, BraveSmart, a match 3 game set in a comical Scottish world. The game was released in late May
and quickly saw more than 200,000 downloads as it rose in the charts around the world. The updated game is now available in
the App Store, and via Google Play and other Android markets and makes the game even more fun for players of all skill levels.
BraveSmart is about helping Scottish clans colonize the Highlands. To do this the player swipes the screen and combines
resources intuitively: Three stones make a smithy, three wood piles a hut, three building a warehouse and so on, up to castles.
The mechanic of the game is simple, clever and shows its depth as players progress in this addictive match 3 game.
"BraveSmart has hit the top of the charts in every market already and we’re making it even more fun for the players,”
said Andreas Suika, flaregames' Creative Director and Game Designer for BraveSmart. " We’ll continue to fine-tune
all of our titles to ensure we balance the fun with the challenge. The average consumer review score of “5 stars”
proves our commitment to quality.”

06/20/2012 - Konami Brings Puzzle Chasers to FacebookAll-New Puzzle Adventure Game Filled with Mystery and Romance Now Available
for Social Gamers
Puzzle Chasers follows players as they solve puzzles to unlock the next chapter in the story. Players will
follow Roxy, Blake and their faithful monkey Austin, as they travel to the world's most exotic locations. As the story moves
forward, the player will meet plenty of other engaging characters - the fun never ends.
In Puzzle Chasers, each
level of the game starts with an incomplete puzzle. The player selects an empty space on the puzzle board and is presented
with a set of pieces that they need to pick to fit in the space. If correct, the piece is placed to help complete the picture.
Each consecutive correct piece adds to a combo meter as well as the difficulty. There's a limited amount of time to complete
the puzzle and players can follow the story or repeat any puzzle they have completed by looking in their journal. To add to
replayability, puzzle pieces are randomized so the player will never play the same puzzle twice.
The title also
gets more difficult the further a player progresses, so various power-ups and unlockables will be available to help complete
the journey. Featuring innovative gameplay and stunning visuals, gamers can follow Story Mode with hundred different jigsaw
puzzles, or participate in the addicting, fast-paced Blitz Mode, with new puzzles introduced weekly!
Puzzle Chasers
is available now on Facebook. For more information, please visit http://www.facebook.com/ThePuzzleChasers.

06/19/2012 - Resonance Arrives on PC TodayFour Playable Characters, One Gripping Adventure: Resonance Releases Today
for PC
NEW YORK - June 19, 2012 - Wadjet Eye Games, an independent publisher of retro-styled adventure
games, is announcing that Resonance is now available for PC download from Resonance-Game.com. The first commercial release from indie developer Vince Twelve, Resonance
is a complex and lovingly-crafted interactive narrative that has been under development for more than five years.
Resonance merges classic point-and-click gameplay with innovative, contemporary storytelling thanks to its nostalgic
pixel-art graphics, suspenseful plotline, and creative puzzles. A brilliant particle physicist has just died under suspicious
circumstances, leaving the classified details of his powerful new technology locked away in a hidden vault. Now fate has thrown
together four strangers - the scientist's protégé, a doctor, a police officer, and an investigative reporter
- to find the vault before this potentially catastrophic weapon falls into the wrong hands. Controlling each of these protagonists,
Resonance players will decide when they should work together, which secrets to guard, and who to trust. But loyalties
will be tested as the clock ticks down to global disaster, and you may discover that you've been mistaken all along...
Wadjet Eye Games is selling Resonance as a $9.99 DRM-free download from the game's official website. Through
July 25, Wadjet Eye is also offering a packaged Collector's Edition for $24.99 (includes free worldwide shipping). A Steam
release will follow this summer; until then, anyone who supports the development team by purchasing Resonance through
the official website will get a free Steam voucher that can be redeemed immediately.
"After so much hard work,
it's unbelievable to finally reach the finish line and share Resonance with the world," says Vince Twelve. "I'm
grateful for the support of an amazing team of artists and musicians, not to mention the great folks at Wadjet Eye Games,
without whom Resonance would have never come this far. And I'd like to give a special 'thank you' to all of the fans
and backers who motivated me to work late into the night for five long years. I sincerely hope Resonance has been
worth the wait!"
To view the Resonance screenshots and trailer, download the free demo, or buy the
game, please visit the official website at http://www.resonance-game.com.
