Press Release: Radio Flare SALE, first major update & Radio Flare Lite

Vienna, Austria, 02/22/2008

Radio Flare: SALE, first major update + Radio Flare Lite

Studio radiolaris is proud to announce the availability of Radio Flare Lite in the Apple App Store. The game is a free version of the musical shooter game Radio Flare. It is fully playable with highscore lists and two game modes featuring more than 50 enemy formations. At the same time we would like to advertise that Radio Flare is getting its first major update. Version 1.1 of the acclaimed musical shooter game features new stages, power-ups, more enemy types, and much crisper graphics. Radio Flare is now available for the reduced price of $ 2.99 / € 2.39.

“We are a young studio committed to producing great quality games. We listened to the audience and critics to learn what to make better in Radio Flare” explains Fares Kayali, one of the two founders of studio radiolaris. Martin Pichlmair adds: “We knew that we had got the game mechanics right but that the level design needed one more iteration. The game started out too easy and went too hard later on. We balanced it better in this release, made the difficulty curve smoother”

At this point we want to take the opportunity to thank all players, critics and reviewers for their valuable feedback. We received a lot of suggestions and have been working on improving your experience of the game. The result is a completely new experience of the game: More intensity, more action, more interactivity.

We are very pleased to let you know that Radio Flare is a finalist for Best Audio at the 2009 Independent Games Festival Mobile. We will present Radio Flare and Radio Flare Lite at the IGF mobile booth at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, March 23rd to 27th. Be sure to visit us, if you are there.
