Putting a punch into Snakes and Ladders
Oakleigh, Australia – If you thought Snakes and Ladders was fun before, the owner and founder of yianni-software has managed to create a new-age version of the game even more entertaining than the classic game. Setting traps, stunning players and jumping forward are just some of the added features to the latest iPad board game, Laddersnake.
Whilst the original game is timeless, hitting the digital arena has allowed the developers to introduce more exciting additions to the game. The original premise of snakes and ladders is at the heart of the game but this is only the start. Up to 4 players can player and each get 4 bonuses at their disposal to unleash attacks onto their opponents.
Just as he did with the success of his first iPad game Chance! HD, Alex was able to try the game out with his two young boys, given they were within his target audience for the game. “Seeing their reactions as the game evolved was extremely useful and priceless feedback”, Alex adds.
The game is certainly not limited to small kids either; Big kids will find this game entertaining as it brings an additional strategic aspect to the game. Laddersnake allows players to interact with each other in a more compelling way. Players can use their bonuses to knock players back or advance themselves. “The cool part of the game is that players can invoke the bonus either before or after they move their playing piece.”, Alex sums up.
If you find yourself alone one night, Laddersnake can keep you entertained as it allows players to play against the computer players unlike the analog version of the game. The game supports 3 different sized game boards, depending on how much time you have to spare. Laddersnake takes yianni-software up it’s 10th iOS application and 3rd iPad app.
Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later

Laddersnake 1.0 is $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available exclusively in the App Store in the Games – Board category. More information on Laddersnake and other yianni-software iPhone applications is available on the yianni-software website.

CleanApp 3.4 Detects Duplicate Files, Folders and Applications
Mainz, Germany – Today, Synium Software has released a new version of CleanApp, the popular uninstaller and system maintenance tool. Especially on mobile Macs, hard disk space is precious. Installing new software, downloading video files and creating your own documents all rightfully claim parts of the available space. There is, however, data that you can safely delete: files that aren’t removed when you trash an application, cache files that are no longer needed, applications’ localized versions for languages you don’t speak, as well as files you created for onetime printout a few years back and won’t ever need again.
CleanApp 3.4 introduces the Duplicate Files feature: scan for duplicate files and applications, as well as empty folders anywhere on your system. This release adds support for files created in PathFinder and brings several bug fixes and performance improvements.
As a fully featured maintenance tool, CleanApp can remove Preference Pane items, plugins and widgets, as well as language files and caches. Remove and archive entire applications including all assigned files so you can see if uninstalling that application has any negative effects on the performance and reliability of your system. Transfer this archive file to your backup system and restore the application with all required files and folders or reverse the uninstallation on your main system at any time.
CleanApp’s Logging Service automatically collects data about which files and folders are created during the installation of a new application. The CleanCommunity feature, however, allows you to identify assigned files even if they were created before you started using CleanApp. The community server collects information about the files created during installation from all participating users and shares that information when you tell CleanApp to uninstall the same application.
Main features:
* Identify large files in the graphical Disk Usage view
* Delete applications with CleanApp and choose from the files it suggests for deletion with that application
* Have the Logging Service run in the background and track all file creations and modifications
* Remove the PowerPC or Intel components from Universal Binaries
* Delete unused language packs
* Get uninstall information from the CleanCommunity and profit from other users’ uninstallation experience
* Exclude applications from logging
* Save archives to CD/DVD and restore them at any time
System Requirements:
CleanApp 3 requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. CleanApp runs as “Universal Binary” natively on any PowerPC or Intel Macintosh.
Pricing and Availability:
CleanApp 3 is available for $15 (USD) from our webstore. CleanApp 3.4 is a free update for existing users. Registration codes of any prior version will automatically work with CleanApp 3.

I think everyone will enjoy Lighted Mirror 4.0!” – said Vadim Kokhnovitch, the developer of Vadique.
