From July 1st the new addictive arcade game BoxBattle by MaxNick company  is available on the AppStore!
It’s absolutely Free! Go to get it now!

This  is steampunk, cannon battle game for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. A relation of cyberpunk, steampunk is science fiction set in a civilization where machines are steam and spring powered. BoxBattle captures the spirit and substance of this motif with animated mechanical graphics, simple gameplay involving a collection of many small parts, 130+ levels of play, and a detailed narrative of war between alien races.

A large part of this game is in the steampunk mood that is so skillfully realized in every detail. There are no futuristic gleaming or streamlined metal surfaces. Burnished, handcrafted brass and steel predominate. Wooden crates are meticulously constructed of painted planks of wood with brass strapping. Copper piping, lead and nickel castings, meshed rotating gears, and plumes of white steam and black smoke set the stage. The attention to graphic detail has been matched by the developer’s exploitation of the iOS physics engine, responsible for movement. Cannonball size and weight are user selectable as are velocities and trajectories, there is acceleration and deceleration, solids have believable mass and collide according to natural, Newtonian principles.

Gameplay is straightforward: use the cannon to destroy as many green boxes/crates as possible, and as few red boxes as possible (although strategy plays a greater role as the game grows more complex). Each canon round costs points, and the player/artilleryman must maximize points by maximizing damage. There are various levels that differ in complexity and the number of tasks necessary to reach 100 points or more, which allows access to the next level. At the start of each level, special optional tasks are outlined which triple point score on that level. The free game comes with 12 starter levels, and offers additional 30 and 90 level upgrade packs as an in-app purchase.

Feature Highlights:
* Do battle on an alien planet during their Steam Age
* Choice of cannons, ammunition, location, direction, gunpowder
* Climb the ranks, win medals, induction into orders, special tasks and honors
* OpenFeint connectivity, leaderboards, achievements; in-app statistics
* Destroy the maximum number of green boxes, the minimum number of red boxes
* Control canon’s direction, firing angle, position, ammunition, gunpowder
* Atmospheric, original music, sound effects, vibration can be set on/off

There is a temporary lull in the endless war between the Quarks and the Tulans. After 40 years of near constant warfare, nearly the entire planet has been destroyed. Both civilizations have been fighting using weapons representative of their level of scientific advancement: the age of steam and mechanical power. Quark military engineers have recently developed two advanced cannons: The Fighting Unicorn and The Three-Headed Dragon. If the Tulans are to be defeated, these new weapons must break the deadlock. Cannoneers must be highly skilled, as the new canons are complex, and the enemy is very resourceful in constructing barriers and shields.

Like a Victorian Age clockwork, the game includes many small, interlocking parts. There are numerous military ranks from Common Recruit to First Cannoneer of the Empire. There are 5 different medals which can be won, each at the Bronze, Silver, or Gold level of achievement. There are 3 chivalric orders with 3 classes each, with the 1st Class Golden Order the highest. Military ranks, honors, and orders are all combined with game scores to determine positions in global OpenFeint ratings. Artillery gunners may choose from 10 ten different kinds of ammunition and 3 different canons. A wide variety of gameplay statistics are stored.

“We designed BoxBattle to immerse the player in a steampunk universe, and I think we’ve succeeded,” commented Co-Founder Nikolay Verevkin. “We’ve built many, many hours of engrossing gameplay into BoxBattle.”

London, UK March 17, 2010—iPhone Insurance Apps today announced the release of Insure Me, the new free iPhone app that helps you save money on your iPhone insurance.

Currently working across the 4 main iPhone operating countries USA, UK, Australia and Canada this simple yet effective iPhone app asks you 3 questions then helps you get a hidden discount code.

Lead Developer Samuel Liebz said “It has taken us a long time to research and source really good, solid iPhone insurance companies with sound policies that will cost-effectively protect your iPhone – and to then make it even better by arranging special discounts to make the iPhone insurance cheaper.  So we are really pleased and proud to be releasing this to help people save money with their iPhone insurance.”

Available in the Apple iTunes and App Store under the name Insure Me, the app asks you 3 relevant questions then shows you the right discount for you.  These discounts are not normally available anywhere else on the internet so this iPhone app is proving helpful in saving users money.

Liebz added “Specific iPhone insurance has been either hard to find or expensive, because the iPhone is a valuable, expensive item (£550 to replace in the UK and $600 in the USA) and because of fraudulent claiming – hence the higher insurance premiums.  So we wanted to help people find a way to reduce the cost of their iPhone insurance while getting good effective cover protection at the same time.”

To learn more about this about this Insure Me app search the App Store for “Insure Me” or visit www.iPhoneInsuranceApp.com

Though it’s been more than two years when the first iPhone is released in AT&T network, the Apple iPhone’s US exclusive carrier officially started listening to ever network-dissatisfied iPhone users’ concerns and feedback on it’s poorly rated network coverage. Yeah, it released an app in App Store, AT&T Mark The Spot, to enable the users to report on a number of network issues: dropped call, failed call, no coverage, data failure or poor voice quality from anywhere in US.

You can also mention the frequency of the issue occurrence: once, seldom, often or always and include additional information in detail. Once the issue is submitted to AT&T’s network operations, you would receive a free SMS as a receipt of your report. You can report the problem as and when occurred or later as per your convenience. This app makes use of the in-built GPS receiver to pinpoint the location of the issue occurred.

Mark The Spot app seems to be AT&T’s reaction to the recent annual wireless customer survey where it’s hammered in just about every category, from voice service to the frequency of dropped calls.
