Rolocule Games announces that Dead Among Us is now available to download for free as a universal app from the Apple App Store worldwide. Dead Among Us brings an incredible new way of playing shooters on mobile devices with its innovative single-hand controls. This addictive new first person shooter takes players on an exciting ride of killing zombies in a stunning post-apocalyptic setting across various breathtaking 3D locations.

Dead Among Us deploys players on various nerve-wrecking quests as a savior, who is a gold medalist in archery, in a world where a deadly virus is turning humans into zombies. Armed with highly advanced bows and determined to save the mankind, players faces the vicious zombie onslaught to protect the humans till the scientists finds a cure against the infection.

“We believe that Dead Among Us sets new gameplay standards with its single hand controls for first person shooters on mobile devices and would impact the way we imagine this genre for smartphones,” said Rohit Gupta, CEO of Rolocule Games. “Dead Among Us not only brings all the excitement of a sniper-styled shooter but also offers players with powerful story experience along with deep strategic thinking.”

Dead Among Us starts with 95+ quests that are spread across different quest types like Star, Challenge and Regular quests. To give players extra boost, the game offers three power ups – Radar to quickly spot the zombies, Slow time to aim better and Kill Shot to kill powerful zombies with just one arrow. The game has multiple zombie types and locations with many more coming soon in upcoming updates. The game also promotes social gameplay where players can record their gameplay and even provide their own voice overlays to share with their friends on various social channels.

Rolocule is also working on an Oculus Rift variant of the game which will bring motion controls to Dead Among Us, thus enabling players to play the game like a real archer in an immersive virtual world using Oculus Rift.

Steer Physics – A Fun and Challenging One-Of-Its-Kind Puzzler for iOS

Kenetic Bytes today is proud to announce the release of Steer Physics 1.0, exclusively for iOS devices. Players become immersed in this challenging puzzler, where all they need to do is draw lines to maneuver a ball around obstacles to reach a flag. The ball needs to pick up one or more stars along the way. The rules are straightforward. The more stars players collect, the higher they score. The fewer lines they draw, the higher they score. The sooner the ball reaches the flag, the higher they score. Players should follow these mantras and see how they stack up against others on Game Center.

Gravity could be a double-edged sword, so you will have to use the ball’s momentum or other means of propulsion to get through most levels. The ball is fragile and moving obstacles have a tendency to shatter it. This starter pack comes with 50 exciting levels filled with soothing music, amusing sound effects and even explosions. The levels may look easy at first but don’t be fooled by their simplicity. Some could take an hour or more to solve and players will find themselves playing well into the night. However, if they have that special knack and happen to breeze through these levels, rest assured, we will be adding more soon.

How to play:
* Touch and drag one finger to draw one or more lines to steer the ball toward the flag
* Double tap or press Play to start or stop the ball
* To erase the lines, swipe across them with two fingers
* Collect at least one star to clear each level

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 15.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Steer Physics 1.0 is Free, and is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. As always, feel free to send us your valuable feedback and suggestions.

100 Balls 3D Tests Reaction Using a Realistic Physics Engine

Users around the world who can’t stop playing Giedrius Talzunas’ addictive and fun app 100 Balls – which has been downloaded over 13 million times and ranked No. 1 in over 70 countries – can now take their gaming experience to new heights by downloading the much-anticipated 100 Balls 3D, which is now available in the App Store at no-cost.

Like its enormously popular predecessor, 100 Balls 3D is simple to grasp but difficult to master. Here’s how it’s played: users tap their screen to open a kind of “trap door” on the bottom of a container. Since the container is suspended in the air, the balls are pulled by gravity towards the ground. So in gameplay terms: the balls are falling from the top of the screen to the bottom.

Users have to prevent these falling balls from hitting the ground by catching them in their cup. Once their cup is filled to the top, it automatically cycles back to the top of the container and dumps its contents. Users then get a brand new, empty cup with which to catch yet more balls.

Notably, while all cups work the same, they aren’t all created equal. Colored cups (e.g. blue, green and pink) produce colored balls, which are worth more. There are also cool balls like “magnet balls”, which as the name suggests, attract other balls – which could either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how much room is left in a cup.

And as can be expected, each level is slightly more challenging than the one before as the cups speed up. However, unlike some other games, higher levels aren’t impossible or frustrating, and getting an impressive score within a few hours of playing is realistic.

Speaking of realistic: aside from the stunning graphics with crisp colors and fine attention to detail, what makes 100 Balls 3D stand out is the realistic physics engine. The responsiveness is lifelike, which is important because the game is essentially based on reactions, reflexes and timing. Anything less than precision would create a sloppy gaming experience where luck was as valuable as skill. That’s definitely not the case with 100 Balls 3D.

Other 100 Balls 3D special features include:
A scoreboard that tracks best games
* Leaderboard integration to compete with friends
* Multiple game options, including short games (less than 5 minutes)
* Exceptional music and sound effects
* A pause button for those who want a break in the action

“100 Balls has a loyal following of addicted fans across the world,” commented Giedrius Talzunas. “However, I always felt that the game could be even better and more fun if the graphics were 3D. Well, after months of hard work and testing, that dream has become a reality!”

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
* 27.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
100 Balls 3D 1.0, the fun and addictive new no-cost app that tests reaction using a realistic physics engine, is available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
