Lead Wars Updated Adding Asynchronous Online Play
Leamington Spa, United Kingdom – DemonStudios today is pleased to announce the release of Lead Wars v1.3, the latest major update to its skill-based pencil and paper war game. This update adds asynchronous online play thanks to the new turn-based gaming features of Game Center and iOS 5. This means players can now battle online head-to-head making their moves whenever it suits and have up to 30 online games on the go all at once.
Lead Wars simulates the kind of games which were popular in the days before portable gaming devices. You control a fleet of planes, tanks and artillery units around a hand-drawn battlefield on a piece of paper, taking turns making long curve shots and strategic moves to try and outwit and out-skill your opponent.
This is not a simple path-drawing game – the mechanic works exactly like it does with a real pencil (try it!): Point a pencil straight down onto a piece of paper holding it with just your index finger on the top. Then, while pressing down firmly, slowly tilt the top of the pencil – beyond a critical angle threshold the tip will suddenly slip away leaving a line drawn on the paper. This line determines your move or shot on the battlefield.
Lead Wars simulates this ‘old skool’ paper war game mechanic using the touch-screen as if you’re physically touching the top of a real pencil – see here for vids of the real life game and Lead Wars in action! http://www.youtube.com/DemonStudiosLtd
The best thing about playing Lead Wars on your iOS device though is you’re not having to rub out all your previous moves, there’s no arguments as to whether a shot hit or not and no dangerous flying pencils! The physical skill required to make your move makes the game challenging but great fun and very rewarding, particularly when you make that near-impossible curve shot around a wall to win the battle!
Features:
* Online multiplayer: Battle Live or Asynchronously
* Single-player vs-CPU and 2-player pass ‘n’ play

New iBeatThat app brings real world competition to the virtual arena!
Scottsdale, Arizona – Spinisland’s new iBeatThat app combines live sporting with virtual competition. For the first time ever, people who enjoy participating in “real world” activities – skateboarding, surfing, Moto X, running, biking, snowboarding, weight lifting, etc. – will have a way to show the world their feats and have some good natured competition with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
The ideas creator Todd Smith says he conceived the idea when watching an online gaming commercial. “I never got into the online gaming phenomenon, but over the years have enjoyed participating in sprint triathlons and other amateur sporting events and thought it would be great if amateur enthusiasts had a way to demonstrate their accomplishments, show their stuff virtually, and have some fun the way online gamers could.” So Todd partnered with Spinisland’s David Herschfield and Barkan Saeed to bring the idea to reality.
Now anyone who participates in a physical activity, be it running, biking, surfing, skateboarding, weightlifting, snow boarding, street biking, Moto X, BMX now has a way to show their stuff and put it up for a vote to see who is the best. Todd says he “hopes the app will continue to open new ways to think about using technologies to bring people together and diminish the restrictions of space and time…and have some fun as well!”
The app enables users to select favorite categories to compete in, upload their accomplishments using either GPS and / or Video documentation. Other users can review and vote on who’s is the best. Those getting top votes receive first, second and third place titles assigned by region, age and gender. Users can also post their accomplishments to Facebook, Twitter and other sites and challenge their friends to virtual competitions. Recordings are also available to view on the iBeatThat YouTube page.
Helps us get started, show the world the champion in you, and earn $25. That’s a Triple Win! The first five users getting 500 plus votes on their video will win a $25 Amazon gift card.

“I have been following the Bustin’ Biceps program for 2 months now. I first did the standard 4 week plan that was included and then I came up with my own bicep training plan using the other exercises that are also demonstrated in the app. My biceps increased in size from 12″ to 13″, something I never thought would be possible since I’ve always been thin and it is hard for me to gain muscle mass.” – Terry S. Murray, UT
“Since I don’t have time to get to the gym, I downloaded the Extreme Home Workout plan and have been following it faithfully for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed a considerable difference in how I feel! Even lifting and carrying my kids isn’t as hard as it used to be. All this from doing 10 minutes per day of exercise without any gym equipment, which is something I have never been accustomed to doing before.” – Jennifer T. Chicago, IL
“I’m not new to working out, but was getting bored with my regular routine. I downloaded the Amazing Abs plan in hopes it would help me improve my oblique definition. After following the plan for 6 weeks, not only are my lower abs more visible, but my obliques are becoming noticeable too!” – Alan F. Saco, ME
Our app includes video demonstrations as well as instructions on how to properly perform each unique exercise plus the correct amount of sets, reps and resting time to maximize your gains.
