*Requires the physical book "Mur"* *Winner of the Bologna Ragazzi VR/AR award 2017* *Mur - a step in book*, is a beautiful, interactive and musical app built to augment the *physical children’s book, “A bear called Mur” by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko*. Mur is a little story with a big message about being perfect just the way we are. The app is targeted kids aged 4 - 8 and is for both iPhones and iPads. The Mur app uses *augmented reality* to bridge the physical with the *virtual reality* of the app universe.

The book becomes *a set of keys* to unlock interactive experiences in a *360º world*, which can be navigated via the smartdevice as a sort of magical window. The Mur app follows the storyline of the book, but without words it focuses on *music* which is built up in four acts, each with a different theme. The music is especially arranged, composed and performed for the app. *Developed by Step In Books, Denmark* Step In Books is an award-winning company developing innovative experiences on mobile devices. Step In Books *work* with authors and artists *to bring stories to life* on tablets and smartphones. Mur is created by the team behind *Wuwu & Co.* Illustrations are made by Anne Vasko.

"Space Wanted" is a space-themed, star war-style, and rogue-like mowing game that combines the authentic shooting experience of star wars. In the game, you will pilot a variety of starships to engage in fierce space combat against surging enemies. You are not alone; as your skills continuously upgrade, you can summon cruisers, battleships, frigates, and even titans to assist in battle. This is an absolutely rare interstellar war mobile game. **The Deadliest Captains in the Universe** Pilot starships, kill swarms of bugs, and hunt down pirates! You will command six completely different starships to hunt down pirate leaders across the galaxy, including: - Rampage Sister: Pilots the high-speed and agile Limit Ship, a very aggressive captain; - Bounty Queen: The perfect combination of beauty and violence in the universe, commanding the deadly Queen's giant battleship; - Psychic Lolita: A young priestess under the Pharaoh's command, her ship can use the Pharaoh's psychic technology and is good at controlling a large number of drones; - Hand of Supremacy: A retired general of the Galactic Federation, with the Galaxy Fortress under his command, the most powerful firepower fortress; - Force Cage: A famous criminal and killer, to redeem himself, he takes on the combat cage to hunt down his former accomplices; - Ling Xue: The River of Death is the highest symbol of the Pharaoh's psychic technology, and it has the ability to replicate reality, such as cloning a holographic asteroid to annihilate enemies; **Rich Rogue Skills** - Support System: Summon 100+ frigates, cruisers, battleships, and titans to assist in battle, with a star battlefield so large it's hard to believe. - Attack System: Fully enhance the ordinary shooting frequency of all fleets, as well as high-energy rainstorms, laser sniping, and other Hit&Run skills... - Domain System: Unleash a domain with different effects, including slowing down, damaging enemies, and also strengthening oneself. - Vengeance System: In the endless mode, you will gain a brand new vengeance skill. As your warship is hit, it will gather vengeance energy, triggering a super-strong vengeance skill to reverse the battle, and different flagships will bring completely different vengeance skills, with unimaginable killing intent! **Swarm Plunder Battle** A 360-degree true space battle, your fleet will lead the space formation under the flagship, hunting down cosmic swarms, and obtaining rare crystal resources. In the plunder battle, under the leadership of the bug mother, the swarm will surge like the sea, but they are not brainless; the swarm will also have a clear division of labor, with plasma bugs sniping your fleet, and beetles tearing apart your flagship like locusts! But you won't show weakness either; new warships will join the battle, including sniper ships specifically for plasma bugs and meat shield-type missile impact ships. Using them wisely can effectively lead to victory. You can even use the pirate flagships you've captured to enjoy a completely different cosmic battle experience, such as infinite main guns, a blue light streaking across the stars, leaving a gorgeous flower of death. **Endless Mode** Good skills need a good stage, endless mode is suitable for you who are fully armed, a pure rogue mode, fighting against wave after wave of enemies, but it has more features! - Boss Selection: That's right! Bosses can be selected, and you can lure additional bosses to appear and kill them at any time to get higher scores. - Unique Skills: Endless mode has unique domain skills + vengeance skills, mowing is more enjoyable. - New Enemies: In endless mode, new enemy fleets will appear, and they are more ferocious than in the story mode. - Fair Fight: Endless mode has no ad help, fair challenge. You need to face the threat of space pirates directly.
