ROCHESTER, New York — July 10, 2008 — Ambrosia Software, Inc. today announced that three games are available on the new Apple App Store. Aki Mahjong, mondo Solitaire and Mr. Sudoku were all designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch.

With more than 100 included games, players are sure to find all their favorites and discover new games to enjoy. Using a familiar library search interface, games can be sorted and selected by name, style, favorites, and even popularity. The categorized interface makes it really easy to find the exact game to play.
Mr. Sudoku’s unique and innovative interface allows players to use a familiar input device to select digits - their own personal digits! Simply use a finger to draw the appropriate number and it is instantly converted into the actual number. Ensuring the strategy and brain-flexing doesn’t stop, there are four difficulty levels with thousands of different Sudoku puzzles for to choose from.
Ambrosia’s mobile games are designed to be true casual games to be played whenever and wherever, yet dismissed quickly to take phone calls or send messages. When finished, players tap on the game application’s icon and head right back into the action.

FlipSide5, Inc., makers of the popular web editions of Tic-Tac-Touch and 4InARow touch are now launching versions to download and install, allowing players to own these games on their iPhone and iPod Touch. Both these products, Tic-Tac-Touch and 4InARow touch, are designed to be amazingly “simple, fun and wow”, refreshing these ageless classics for today’s generation.
Back in November 2007, Michael Sanford, President of the newly formed FlipSide5, Inc. created the now popular iPhone web apps, Tic-Tac-Touch Web Edition and 4InARow touch Web Edition. There have been over 1,500,000 games played so far and FlipSide5 has received thousands of emails from their users requesting native versions of these games, available to download and install on the iPhone and iPod touch.
“Why not take something ordinary and make it into something extraordinary,” says Sanford. “Everyone plays these classic games already, so popularity is guaranteed.”
“Great for iPhone. One player or two.” said one 4InARow touch user, “I travel with my daughter by train almost every weekend. This is a great way to pass the time.”
FlipSide5, Inc. was founded with one thing in mind; world-class quality. That mission carries through to their work with Tic-Tac-Touch and 4InARow touch for the iPhone and iPod Touch, using compelling technologies like multi-touch, accelerometer support and sound.
Play against opponents online via EDGE, WiFi or 3G, taunting or encouraging their efforts with instant messages. Also, using the built-in iPhone location technology, see the country where your online opponent is located. Instant messages are translated automatically to your opponent’s native language (supported languages only). Many more features are listed on FlipSide5’s website.
