CROMWELL, CT – August 27th, 2010 - Venan Entertainment announced today that both of its critically-acclaimed and best-selling independent Venan Arcade titles are going on sale, and will be on sale through Labor Day to help make students' lives more bearable as they enter the new school year.

The epic space-faring action/RPG Space Miner: Space Ore Bust is now available for $1.99 down from $4.99, while the original arcade ninja climber Ninjatown: Trees Of Doom! has been reduced to $0.99 from $1.99.

"After all the money spent on books, clothes and materials for school, we wanted to do our part to give students some affordable entertainment options," said Brandon Curiel, President and CEO of Venan Entertainment. "For all those kids looking for something fun for their new iPod or iPhone, these two games are a no brainer."

This sale kicks off a busy end of summer for Venan as they prepare to unleash a new update for Ninjatown: Trees Of Doom! as well as two new titles in the coming weeks: the gorgeously re-done Ninjatown: Trees Of Doom! HD! for the iPad, and the fast-paced arcade shooter Space Miner Blast, which will be available absolutely free.

Added Curiel: "That's not the sale price for Space Miner Blast, and it's not the free-for-one-day price either. It is, and always will be, free."

CROMWELL, CT – May 6, 2010 – Premier game developer Venan Entertainment (Space Miner: Space Ore Bust) and designer toy studio Shawnimals today announced that Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. At only $1.99, this game is perhaps the best ninja-related deal EVER.

It's a sunny day. You are a Wee Ninja dreaming of ninja star cookies and awesome moves. Ol' Master Ninja awakens you with a poke from his hickory cane: "It is time to test your skills with the most dangerous of challenges, young ninja." Like so many before you, it's time to ascend the Dark Forest trees and face all of their obstacles: ninja-hating Devils that fly, shoot and poke, the deadly Dark Syrup, and Mount Feroshi's lava balls. It is times like these when a ninja must dig deep and unleash climbing skills and a keen eye for power-ups!

"Ninjatown: Trees of Doom!" falls into the 'go as far as you can' genre on the iPhone. Our goal was to inject sophistication and strategy to this kind of game," said Brandon Curiel, CEO at Venan. "Humor and adorableness were important too," added Shawn Smith, creator of Shawnimals. "Micro-sized yet endlessly replayable games are where the iPhone really shines as a game platform, and I think we’ve cooked up something special!"

For those that want to go down in ninja lore, the game has integrated Plus+ technology for global leaderboards and awards, and also includes Facebook and Twitter support for players to share their progress with friends and followers.

Ninjatown: Trees of Doom! is produced by Pickle King Productions (www.pickleking.com) and is self-published by Venan under its Venan Arcade (www.venanarcade.com) label. Stay up to date on the game at www.twitter.com/OlMasterNinja or www.facebook.com/ninjatown
