LITE EDITION OF CELEBRATED PUZZLER SHIBUYA RELEASED FOR GDC
February 22, 2011 - Shibuya LE, a free version of Nevercenter's award-winning indie puzzle game Shibuya, is now available for iOS devices in the Apple App Store. The release coincides with the upcoming Independent Games Festival at the Game Developers Conference, for which Shibuya was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Best Mobile Game category.

Shibuya's fast-paced puzzle gameplay is based on an entirely original mechanic, which earned it glowing reviews from sites including IGN and Macworld, as well as the IGF award and a selection for Penny Arcade's 2010 PAX 10 Indie Showcase.

The new free version contains a unique fully-playable game mode along with several speed classes, a sampling of achievements, and two songs from the immersive soundtrack by Millionyoung.
