Silicon Sisters Interactive has announced the release of School 26 for iOS devices and android devices.. The game is aimed at girls between the ages of 12 – 16. The game deals with topics that this age group of girls find important.

Players help Kate make friends at her new school. It is always hard to adjust to going to a new school. Kate has to figure out the social hierarchy of the school and work to make friends and solve conflicts. Players will have to select the response to questions they think is correct, match cards in a mini-game based on students mindsets and the current situation and take quizzes that teach give insight into friendship.

“Most games provide challenges that help you develop mastery in the skill of playing that particular game. In School 26, players develop social mastery,” says Silicon Sisters’ COO Kirsten Forbes. “For example, the player uses empathy to ‘level up’ the other characters in the game, not herself. It’s a twist on conventional game design that fits with the way girls structure their social hierarchies.”

One of the most talked about, innovative RPGs in recent weeks, Sword and Sworcery will be hitting the iPhone on Thursday for $3.99; it had been released on the iPad for $4.99. The game is a bizarre RPG in that it gives the gamer real-life tasks to perform as part of its immersion factor.

One of the nice things is that the developers of the game, Superbrothers, won’t penalize iPad owners: if they already own Sword and Sworcery, they can get the iPhone version free.

“The S:S&S EP project began life on the smaller touchtronic machines so many of the key art & design decisions were made with this very particular form factor in mind,” explains the group.

“While the size of the iPad is certainly a treat for S:S&S EP, the tiny machine is definitely ‘the way it was meant to be’ – it’s an entire little world you can slip into your pocket at any time. In many many ways this is the most significant launch for the project & it is also something of a homecoming.”
