Number Whizz - A unique app to improve childrens' mental arithmetic

Number Whizz - A unique app to improve childrens' mental arithmetic - Published on 04/22/14
XTC Arts today announces the up and coming release of Number whizz, its new educational math game for iOS and Android devices. Perfect for kids aged 6+ and older, Number whizz is pick up and play simple with its greatest features being simplicity and tempo. The game requires kids to delete an ever growing, accelerating chain of numbers using number bonds. This quickly improves their mental arithmetic. The app releases worldwide on 10th May 2014, promo codes are available for early access.
London, United Kingdom - XTC Arts today is proud to announce the up and coming release of Number whizz, its new educational math game for kids aged 6+, available on iOS and Android. Its greatest features are the app's simplicity and tempo; the game is pick up and play simple and the action never stops, so children never lose interest whilst playing. This quickly improves their mental arithmetic. The game requires kids to delete an ever growing, accelerating chain of numbers using number bonds. The app releases worldwide on 10th May 2014, promo codes are available for early access.
Number Whizz is centered on the principle of number pairing to ten. Numbers appear one by one on the right hand side of the screen and slowly make their way to the left. The player must enter the number that when added to the first number in the queue makes ten. If correct, the number is deleted and they must move to the next number in the queue. As the player deletes more and more numbers, the speed will gradually increase and the game will end when the first number in the queue reaches the end.
The reason for creating this app was to find a way to help boost kids mental arithmetic whilst they were having fun. The app was extensively tested using a class of students in Ashford, England and went through many iterations before we arrived at the final product. The class played Number Whizz on their shared iPad and they very much enjoyed trying to get the high score. The scores of the kids rapidly increased and their improvement was apparent very quickly. We had originally implemented a way for the kids to track their improvement over time, but they were only interested in their top scores so for simplicity we temporarily removed it. However we fully expect to put it back in if teachers and parents should request such a feature.
Pricing and Availability:
Number Whizz is available from 10th May on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and all Android devices. It will cost $0.99 (USD) with discount for educational institutes. There are no hidden costs or In-App Purchases. The app mines no data from the user and our privacy policy can be viewed from XTC Arts online. If you would like to cover Number Whizz please request a promo code for free early access. You can also download a press kit containing images, app icon and trailer links, from our product page. We ask that any coverage is delayed until the release on 10th May this year.

Players are encouraged to share their score via Game Center, Facebook, Twitter and more.
Minsk, Belarus - NewClear today is thrilled to announce the release of Tile Runner 1.0 for iOS, a game where users have to make their way to the goal by quickly tapping red tiles and avoiding yellow ones. Based on the recent Japanese hit tile tapping game, Tile Runner boasts same addictive gameplay everyone is so hooked on, but totally refurbished cheerful graphics and a clear set of rules. There are two modes in Tile Runner:
Time Attack:
A great way to test one's reaction, accuracy and fast tapping skills, Time Attack is all about how quickly you can cover the 50 steps to the finish line without tapping the wrong tiles. The high scores of other players take excitement to a new level.
Survival:
The faster you go, the more time you have in this challenging mode. This one is quite tricky, as players should mind where to step: one step on the wrong-colored tile and the game is over.
Tile Runner is a game of competition, and players are encouraged to share their score in a number of ways: via GameCenter, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
"Tile Runner is simple and lacks sophisticated features, yet it's truly challenging and addictive," says Sviatlana Abrosimova, the CEO of NewClear. "We believe that games like this are the future of casual gaming, and latest trends among mobile players only prove this idea. We hope users will appreciate the effort we put in this game; meanwhile, our team will work hard to create more beautiful and entertaining apps."
