Tapulous Launches iPhone OS 3.0 Version of Tap Tap Revenge on Apple App Store - New Push Notification Service Makes It Easy to Challenge Friends to Play

Palo Alto, CA, June 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Tapulous today announced an update for its wildly successful music game Tap Tap Revenge that takes advantage of the Push Notification Service in the new iPhone OS 3.0 software for iPhone and iPod touch. Tap Tap Revenge 2.6, available on the App Store now, makes it easier and more fun for gamers to challenge their friends to beat them on the game they just finished. The other party will receive an alert message on their iPhone or iPod touch that they can click on to play the challenge.

“Tap Tap Revenge 2.6 is one of the first apps on the App Store that's fully ready for iPhone OS 3.0 and takes advantage of some of the powerful new capabilities of the iPhone and iPod touch, “ said Andrew Lacy, Tapulous' co-founder and COO, "Tap Tap Revenge is the most popular game on the App Store, so we are pleased to offer our millions of gamers new ways to connect with friends through the game." Tapulous expects to add additional features and services enabled by the next iPhone OS 3.0 software in coming weeks.

The delivery of Push Notification Service to the Tap Tap Revenge fans was developed in partnership with Portland, OR, based Urban Airship. Urban Airship is a software company that specializes in delivering scalable cloud infrastructure for mobile application developers, including support for the Push Notification Service and In-App Commerce capabilities in iPhone OS 3.0. "We needed to be sure that we'll scale to support the millions of gamers that are playing Tap Tap Revenge," said Jessica Kahn, Director of Engineering at Tapulous. "Urban Airship was the right solution for us. On our own, it might have taken weeks to do a good job of implementing and delivering Push support. Instead, it took a few hours to integrate and test our product with theirs."

Tapulous is a Palo Alto-based startup that has emerged as one of the leading application developers within Apple's App Store. Its flagship music game, Tap Tap Revenge, is a free game that has seen more than 11 million installs. In April, comScore announced that Tap Tap Revenge is the #1 most popular app on the App Store and is installed on nearly 1 out of 3 iPhones/iPod touches. Special premium editions of the game with leading recording artists are also available, including Lady Gaga Revenge, released last week to critical acclaim, which offers 14 Lady Gaga game tracks in a completely customized version of Tap Tap Revenge, for just US$4.99.
