0Sec LLC, the company behind the hugely popular online game 20 Levels and the newly launched e-commerce platform, Googly-I, decided to make 20Levels even more challenging, as well as rewarding, introducing new categories of prizes and unlimited challenges.
The game features 20 different puzzles in every challenge that lead to exciting prizes, such as a Mystery Box or branded discount coupons. Players can select what they are competing for before they start a challenge, such as coupons from their favorite brands or the much-loved mystery box.
Everybody loves the Mystery Box – a combination of products packed together with no indication of the contents or their prices. The overall value of the items in the Mystery Box is much more than the total price one pays for the box, which, for the winners of 20 Levels, is absolutely free! However, for those who don't like surprises, there is an option to choose vouchers from top brands in various categories for motivation to win the game.
Playing 20 Levels is exceptionally easy and fun. "We wanted to create an engaging game that tests the wits and motor skills of our users in a fun way and also rewards them for their excellent efforts," says Huda Alenezi, Founder, 0Sec LLC. "In 20 Levels, users match colors and discounts in groups of three, smashing away the obstacles in their way to win some exciting goodies while engaging in some clean fun that also jogs their brain."
To play the game, users can download the app, login and enter any ongoing competition of their choice. Once the game begins, users compete against each other and the fastest player to complete all the 20 Levels walks away with a Mystery Box or brand discount coupons. The founder claims that the game is a test of alacrity, skill and intelligence and also fine-tunes the motor skills, owing to the planning and speed required to complete the game. Of course, practice makes a man perfect and that's why there are ongoing competitions so that everybody is a winner someday in this exciting game.
Huda Alenezi created a unique and new way of rewarding in the Game industry so that players can also take part in surveys called ASK Me inside the game to win extra time and moves to complete the 20 levels. The cute little monster, HOO, who resides in 20 Levels is always up for test games to help users learn the ropes before they start competing against others to beef up their kitty by matching discounts or winning the Mystery Box.
MADFINGER Games announces that the pre-registration campaign for their upcoming title Shadowgun War Games, has hit one million players. That figure puts the company in a strong position for a positive launch when the game is released worldwide in early 2020.
Shadowgun War Games has been hotly anticipated since a prototype version thrilled audiences at Gamescom last year, and the studio is currently making the final preparations before the game launches. Players can still pre-register for Shadowgun War Games right now.
"One million is a magic number for us. The response we've had to pre-registration has been sensational since it launched in mid-November," said Marek Rabas, CEO of MADFINGER Games. "It makes all the hard work worth it, and the players are going to lose their minds when they get to play the full version!"
Made with Unity, Shadowgun War Games is a free-to-play tactical FPS with incredible graphics and intense 5v5 battles. Players choose from a gallery of heroes, each with unique personalities and skills to match their play style. With an emphasis on quick pick-up-and-play action, War Games offers truly console-quality team-based action for everyone with access to a mobile device.
Jarig Duval has released the ultimate new wake-up alarm, Sleep Crusher. The app consolidates the best features of Duval's previous alarm clock apps, assured to wake even the heaviest sleepers, while adding multiple wake-up missions to improve wellness in everyone's morning routine. Sleep Crusher is available now on iOS in the App Store.
"Jumping out of bed ready to start the day is not a reality for some of us. Having a little help from the digital friend on our nightstand can go a long way," says Jarig Duval, the app's developer. "The strategy is to take all the wake-up tricks we know, then combine and randomize them daily so your brain never gets used to any one routine. That's why Sleep Crusher works while other alarms fail you over time."
Once the alarm wakes you using ringtones, text read aloud, or music at customizable volume, the real innovation begins. Wake-up missions involve simple tasks that force you out of bed, like scanning the barcode on a tube of toothpaste, or activate higher brain functions, like playing a simple memory game. Fail to do the mission, and the alarm blares again. Missions are fun and randomized to prevent the brain from learning a routine, and are all based on established methods focused on keeping the brain awake.
"At this point, you're probably thinking of many excuses to get out of your New Year's resolution to wake up on time. You'll just turn the alarm off the night before, or maybe your spouse won't like it," notes Duval. "Sleep Crusher has solutions for those, too. Alarms are lockable, and there is a special 'Don't Wake my Spouse' mode!"
The app is not only focused on waking up, but also offers features that help users get to bed on time. The Bedtime Reminder feature will shoot a notification with a custom message when it is time to go to sleep. If those custom messages are too nice, the optional Bedtime Enforcer will display a notification after bedtime if the device is moved, warning the user of the health risks related to sleep deprivation.
"This app is very personal," says Duval. "I've faced this problem head on for nearly a decade, through college, work, marriage, and kids. My struggle to wake up–and get up refreshed–is going to help so many people just like me."
Sleep Crusher works on any device running iOS 11.2 or newer, and is available now as a free download from the App Store. An in-app purchase, discounted to $0.99 in the month of January only, removes ads.
James Hollender's Life Inventory apps version 4 provides users with in-depth perceptions of themselves about why they do the things they do. These intricately architected apps include built-in instructions to help guide users in creating their own Life Inventory which can provide greater self understanding of personality, strengths and weaknesses, leading to a better knowledge of self than they ever thought possible. A Life Inventory can also function as a Moral Inventory for those in 12-step programs.
The Canadian Reviewer has suggested Life Inventory may even become your always available digital therapist: "If your smartphone has become your personal trainer, assistant, and even financial adviser, why not turn it into your therapist as well? Life Inventory app for iOS is here to help you understand what makes you tick. This app helps you create your own Life Inventory or Moral Inventory to provide you with better understanding of your personality, strengths, and weaknesses to help you live a better life."
The process of completing a Life Inventory does not directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before, like:
What did I want
Why did I want it
What am I not admitting
What lie did I tell myself
What did I leave out or not say
What lie did I tell others
Have I ever done the same thing
Was it any of my business
Were my expectations reasonable
What was the real truth
What was I not seeing
Did I fail to see the facts of the situation
What actions did I take to get what I wanted
What actions did I omit to get what I wanted
Life Inventory guides the user through six different steps, each with its own activity grouping, for making a Life Inventory:
Causes and Effects
My Part
Fears Analysis
Fear Questions
Sex Relations
Throughout the process, users are encouraged to enter data into their Inventory, be completely honest about themselves and take advantage of encouragement and support from others.
The Inventory begins by making one simple list, which defines four fixed Categories in which to file away what are broadly categorized as Incidents:
Institutions and Organizations
Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
Sources of Anxiety and Excitement
Each of the four Categories will contain hierarchical sub-categories. From there, users outline Entities and then individual Incidents related each Entity.
Step-by-step, users complete the Causes and Effects of each Incident. Next, and determine the part they played in each Incident listed. It is not unusual to create hundreds of Incident forms, each devoted to a single incident. The app includes the ability to create and save all written lists and forms with password protection. Having completed all their Incident forms, users can refer to these forms to help list all their Fears. The app includes eight pre-defined fears, to which the user is free to add more if desired.
"The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address anyone's specific problems, habits or addictions, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life," stated indie developer James Hollender. "The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened."

Vitamin K App Updated with Extremely Powerful Search Capability
James Hollender updates Vitamin K app, which aids users on blood thinners like Coumadin. This iOS app is just one of ten apps updated to version 7.0 in the suite of iNutrient apps: iCarbs, iCholesterol, iFiber, iKals, iPotassium, iProteins, iSatFat, iSodium, iSugars and Vitamin K.
Version 6.0 made the app capable of using the entire screen even of newer iPhones with the "notch". This version brings back the Search feature, but one that's much more powerful. These apps include data from the USDA National Nutrient Database covering the following nutrients: Calories, Carbohydrates, Cholesterol, Fiber, Potassium, Proteins, Saturated Fat, Sodium, Sugars and Vitamin K. All ten apps are universal apps that can be used on the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch devices. The apps include information on how they can be upgraded to app bundles for additional significant savings, i.e., the cost of any apps previously purchased included in bundle is deducted from the cost of the app bundle.
The big new feature in version 7.0 is a search capability that allows for both simple and complex searches. There are two fields that can accommodate either words or phrases. Using only the first provides a simple search that looks for the supplied value in the title, description and USDA ID fields. If a second word or phrase is supplied, then the user has the choice of three operands for how the fields are evaluated: "AND", "OR" and "But Not". As the user enter or changes their values, an instantaneous display is given of how many records will be found. Pressing the "Results" button then displays the full list of matches found.
In the "Access My Records" section, each food serving for the day is listed in it's own section and the total daily amount of the nutrient is included in the day's heading. This makes comparing nutrient intake for each day an easy task.
All of these apps include a simple color scale to help readily identify the approximate quantity of the nutrient contained in each food serving:
1. Vitamin K – iNutrient: Vitamins K1, K1D & K2:
The Vitamin K app provides information about foods and how they are rated for Vitamin K content.

The food servings are rated from EXTREMELY LOW in Carbohydrates all the way up to EXTREMELY HIGH.

If you are a bodybuilder, you probably want to have a high intake of carbohydrates, but on the other hand if you are a vegan then you want to make sure you are taking in a sufficient amount of protein. The food servings are rated from EXTREMELY LOW in Proteins all the way up to EXTREMELY HIGH.
8. iSatFat – iNutrient: Saturated Fat:
The iSatFat app provides information about foods and how they are rated for content of saturated fat. This is provided as a means to assist in deciding which foods to eat. The food servings are rated from EXTREMELY LOW in fiber all the way up to EXTREMELY HIGH.

Instead of the USDA partial selection of foods used in the individual iNutrient apps, the iNutrients app includes all foods and food servings in the entire USDA National Nutrient Database for those nutrients. It also includes the capability for altering the color scale for each nutrient if desired. And Custom Foods can be created for those not included in the USDA database. Even an entire meal's nutrient information could be included in a single Custom Food definition to make entry even simpler. The iNutrients app is available for less than the cost of two individual iNutrient apps.
