Here in Hamburg the Alster is still frozen over (for the first time in 15 years!), but with temperatures rising to 6°C and more until the end of the week, it looks as if we finally got to say “Goodbye” to the winter and prepare ourselves for the arrival of spring. Soon the last mounts of snow will be molten and the first crocuses will crane their necks towards the sun. And our skates, sleighs and snowboards will be stacked in the attic for at least another 10 months. On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, however, the fun’s far from being over and all that separates you from the next action-packed ride down the slope is a handful of taps on your preferred device’s touch screen! With our fast-paced winter sports racer Snowboard Hero (winner of two prestigious IMGAwards 2011) you can experience the thrill of speed whenever you want and race down the steepest slopes and most spectacular alpine areas at breakneck speed![full] To celebrate the last days of winter, we have dropped the price of the game to 0,79€ / 0,99$ / 0,69£ for a limited time only! If you haven’t purchased Snowboard Hero yet, buy it now for an unrivalled special price and perform the most spectacular tricks and hazardous jumps on your smartphone or tablet!
For the first time in 15 years, the Alster is completely frozen over...

Hello space pilots! Here’s your old pal Mkkt Bkkt. As you all know, the one thing me and all other Multipods hate the most is having to part with our hard-earned credits. And correspondingly the one thing we like best is saving a good amount of cash! And that’s exactly what yours truly, as well as all other part-time space adventurers, can do now, because Fishlabs have just dropped the price of their award-winning sci-fi shooter and trader Galaxy on Fire 2 HD to unrivalled $4.99! That’s 50% off! So if you own an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and haven’t bought the game yet, I’d strongly recommend you to make use of that offer and purchase the most ambitious and accomplished outer space adventure on the App Store for an absolute bargain price! Think about it, $4.99 is less than a bottle of S’kolptorr Rum or a flask of Oom’bak Gin in one of my space bars and unlike said boozes, Galaxy on Fire 2 HD will keep you entertained for way more than half an hour… and even if you play it for several hours straight, it surely won’t make you feel as if a Rhinocitroll would go postal in your head the morning after![full] The way I see it, this is a win-win situation for all daring fighter pilots out there, so what are you waiting for!? Head over to the App Store right away and help my good friend Keith T. Maxwell to save the galaxy from its impending destruction by the hands of the mysterious and utterly annoying Voids. And… well… I’m really just saying this because I strongly care for the survival of the universe and not just because those nasty Voids are causing severe damage to my business by raiding and plundering all kinds of convoys and cargo ships, including the freighters who supply my establishments with alcoholic beverages and other more or less illegal substances…
If there’s one thing that every Galaxy on Fire pilot out there enjoys even more than shipping a cargo hold full of Vossk Organs from S’kolptorr to Wolf-Reiser and score almost a million credits, it is equipping his ship with the most powerful and advanced weapons systems on the market and blasting all space pirates from here to Skavac into oblivion! And for most dedicated fighter pilots it does hardly even make a difference whether they vaporize their enemies’ ships with the dazzling beam of a Disruptor Laser, the kinetic flares of a SunFire o50 thermo-weapon or the devastating shrapnel rain of a Berger Flak 9-9 scatter gun. However, for the graphics artists working on Valkyrie HD, Galaxy on Fire 2’s stunningly beautiful high-definition add-on specifically optimized for iPhone 4S and iPad 2, the choice of weapons does indeed play quite an important role, as each of the 50+ primary and secondary weapons in the game does contain an individual set of special effects and animations for their respective muzzle flashes, shots and explosions.[full] And, needless to say, all these flashy and flamboyant beams and blasts have been completely re-done from scratch in Valkyrie HD to make the game’s space action look more staggering and spectacular than ever before! Besides much more complex animations, the new effects also feature up to 32 times higher texture resolutions and four times higher polygon counts, which promise some real eye candy whenever you hit the “Fire” button! Just compare the new scatter gun animation in HD to that in SD and you will surely see what I’m talking about!
