Mannatech’s Ambrotose^® Powders May Enhance Video Game Player Performance

Mannatech Supplement Shown to Improve Focus, Attention and Memory in adults,* Essentials in Video Gaming Performance

COPPELL, Texas—March 10, 2016—Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), the founder of the M5M^SM (Mission 5 Million^SM) Foundation, the pioneer of Glyconutrition and the global innovator of naturally sourced supplements based on Real Food Technology^® solutions, believes that its Ambrotose supplement powders can support key performance factors for video gamers, including increased focus, attention and memory.* Supporting these factors may have a positive, direct effect on player performance, which can be a big advantage for competitive e-sports players or those just trying to take down the bad guys in their favorite game.

According to clinical research at Mannatech, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials published in peer reviewed journals have shown that Ambrotose powders can positively impact brainwaves associated with attention in young adults and improve memory and alertness in middle-aged adults.*

“We have found in previous studies that Ambrotose powder may give a helpful boost in memory, focus and attention as well as having perceived beneficial changes in well-being,” said Dr. Rolando Maddela, MPH, CCRP, Mannatech’s Director of Clinical Research and Scientific Affairs. “For some involved in video games, Ambrotose products may give the competitive advantage they are looking for. For others it may make the video game playing experience simply more enjoyable.* Just four grams per day of Advanced Ambrotose® powder or Ambrotose Complex, taken according to directions, would be expected to support gamers’ performance.”*

Mannatech’s Ambrotose powders are based on the company’s pioneering development of Glyconutritional technology. Glyconutritional technology encourages cellular communication and is shown to support cognitive functions – including memory, focus and attention, as well as supporting the body’s immune and digestive systems to encourage overall health.*

Some of Mannatech’s core products are supported by industry-standard clinical studies including 17 human clinical trials that have been published, 12 of which were double-blind, placebo-controlled studies — the gold standard for product validation. For more on Mannatech’s rigorous scientific research, go to mannatechscience.org.

Advanced Ambrotose and Ambrotose Complex powders are clinically tested to improve cognitive functions and support the body’s immune system.*

Additionally, for players that need to keep going strong during long gaming sessions or intense competitive gaming matches, Mannatech offers MannaBOOM™ Slimsticks. MannaBOOM Slimsticks are packed with naturally-sourced antioxidants and Mannatech’s core Glyconutrient ingredients.

MASSIVE SCALE REAL-TIME STRATEGY GAME, ASHES OF THE SINGULARITY, TO BE RELEASED ON MARCH 31

Plymouth, MI. – March 10, 2016 – Stardock has announced March 31, 2016 as the release date for its highly anticipated real-time strategy game, Ashes of the Singularity. Set in a future where humanity has expanded into the stars and is now in conflict for control of key planets in the galaxy, players wage planetary warfare on a massive scale to conquer opponents and control planets.

Ashes of the Singularity allows players to command their forces in a war that has spread across much of the galaxy in the 23rd century. Players have a choice of playing either the descendants of humanity, the Post-Human Coalition, or their bitter strong-AI enemy, the Substrate, as they fight for control over the galaxy’s most prized resource, Turinium.

“With Ashes of the Singularity, we want to present players with a game that lets them feel like they are fighting a planetary war, not just a battle,” said CEO and President of Stardock, Brad Wardell.

While the game includes a non-linear campaign, single player scenarios and skirmishes backed by the first multi-core RTS game AI, the game also supports ranked multiplayer with a lively community, custom matches with friends vs. AI or any combination thereof.

“We are not looking to reinvent the RTS,” said Wardell. “Our goal is to introduce a new generation of gamers to the general awesomeness of real time strategy gaming. That means showing how well non-cheating computer players can perform in single player as well as making it easy to get multiplayer games going.”

Key features of Ashes of the Singularity include:

• Massive numbers of units in the world that can be easily organized into armies that allow players to fight wars across several different fronts simultaneously.
• The world’s first multi-core real-time AI allowing for a non-cheating AI that can beat most players.
• A story-driven, non-linear campaign that tells the story of a United Earth in the 23rd century.
• A focus on single player replayability while including a wealth of multiplayer features.
• The future-proofed Nitrous 3D engine whose 64-bit, multi-core foundation supports DirectX 11, DirectX 12 and multiple GPUs.

Ashes of the Singularity is currently available in Early Access on Steam or through Stardock. The full version with all of its intended features will be released on March 31, 2016.

LEADING PRO ESPORTS ORGANIZATION TEAM SOLOMID (TSM) JUMPS INTO LEADING TOUCHSCREEN ESPORT; ACQUIRES VAINGLORY TEAM

Super Evil Megacorp’s Award-Winning Game is the Fastest Growing Mobile Game on Twitch, with 150 Million Minutes Watched in 2015

San Mateo, Calif. — March 10, 2016 — Super Evil Megacorp’s Vainglory has attracted one of the top eSports organizations, Team SoloMid (TSM), as it continues to gain momentum as the world’s leading touchscreen eSport. TSM, known for having appeared in the League of Legends World Championship every year since its inception in 2011, has jumped into Vainglory with the acquisition of Alliance, reigning world champion and the No.1 seed for the upcoming North America Winter Live Championship. Vainglory was recently crowned the “Best Mobile Game” by the GSMA and Gamelab Mobile during the 2016 GLOMO Awards at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and is currently the fastest growing mobile game on Twitch, with 150 million minutes watched in 2015.

“As a global leader in eSports, we are always looking to expand our reach and attract new fans,” said Andy “Reginald” Dinh, CEO of TSM. “The mobile games community has grown extraordinarily quickly in the past few years, and Vainglory has exploded onto the eSports circuit over the past six months; it will be exciting to see it reach its huge growth potential given the amount of devices on the market.”

The acquisition of Alliance by TSM, who finished second in the 2015 North American League Championship Series (LCS) Summer Playoffs, is the latest a series of recent eSports team acquisitions in the Vainglory competitive scene, including Team Secret, G2 eSports and SK Gaming. The Vainglory eSports scene also includes hundreds of original teams, including home-growth professional teams paying players under contract such as GankStars, Halcyon Hammers and Phoenix eSports.

“We’re thrilled that Vainglory eSports has grown so quickly and that less than a year from our first tournaments, we have such rapidly growing viewer numbers and that so many professional organizations and partners are involved,” said Kristian Segerstrale, COO and Executive Director, Super Evil Megacorp. “Some day someone will create a competitive game on touch screens that will attract audiences that are 3-5x larger than the biggest PC games today. We’re excited to be working with the amazing Vainglory community to be part of that evolution.”

TSM’s Vainglory team is made up of Nick “CullTheMeek” Verolla (jungle/lane), Mico “MICSHE” Dedicatoria (lane/jungle) and Michael ‘FlashX’ Valore (roam). FlashX and MICSHE started their competitive careers as Alliance in the ESL Vainglory Cup Series in May 2015. Together, they won the Autumn North American VGL Qualifier last year, making it to the VIPL (Vainglory International Premier League) Season 2 in Korea last October, where they won in dramatic fashion. CullTheMeek was recruited from the first world champion team GankStars Sirius. This roster will now be competing as a part of the TSM family, and it recently won the  North American VGL Winter Qualifiers #2 (defeating GankStars Sirius), earning the No. 1 seed at the Vainglory Winter Live Championships.

“This opportunity, simply put, is a dream come true,” said Valore. “I have always been a passionate gamer, and TSM is the pinnacle of eSports in North America. As a kid, my parents always told me to find a job doing what I love, and thanks to TSM, I have been given that opportunity. Our team has always strived for success and now we have the supportive structure we need in order to achieve greatness. I am incredibly grateful for this chance and I know that we will not let TSM down.”

Following 2015 in which Vainglory players took home more than $350,000 in prize money globally, 2016 is already promising to be bigger and more intense. The Vainglory Winter Live Championships for North America will take place at a sold-out Red Bull eSports Studio in Santa Monica, Calif., from March 11-13 and the Europe Winter Live Championships will take place at the Gfinity Arena in London from March 18-20. NVIDIA and Amazon Coins will return as sponsors for both the North America and Europe events. While NA is sold out, the few remaining tickets for the Europe event can be purchased at http://vainglorywintereu.eventbrite.com.

Curve Digital and Game Swing Confirm Multi-platform Release Dates for Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure

It’s Balls Out this April in this Wacky, ’70s Inspired Dodgeball Frenzy, Headed to PC on April 1 with PlayStation®4 and Xbox One to Follow Shortly After

LONDON—March 10, 2016—Copenhagen-based developer Game Swing and indie publisher Curve Digital look forward to welcoming PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC gamers to the fantasy sports world of the ’70s this April with the brilliant, bonkers sports game Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure. Hitting PC on April 1, PlayStation®4 on April 5, and Xbox One on April 8, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure brings a stylish and perilous reimagining of the classic ball game to players of all ages.

Using simple twin-stick controls and featuring a vibrant, ’70s inspired art style, Stikbold! is a fast-paced approximation of the game of dodgeball, complete with off-court hazards, random events and boss battles. Up to four players can partake in brutal yet outlandish rounds of dodgeball, where fast reactions, tactics and teamwork combine to create a sports game unlike any other. Always enjoyable but truly shining as a local multiplayer game, Stikbold! is slated to become the next couch multiplayer game of choice.

The game originally began as an entry into the Nordic Game jam three years ago, winning the award for being the “most fun” out of all submissions. Realizing that they had created the framework for something special, the team decided to develop the prototype into a full game, and three years later, Stikbold! is the result.

 “From game jam to console – it’s been quite the ride,” says Jacob Herold, CEO and founder of Game Swing. “Whether it’s been at PAX or GDC, everyone who’s had the opportunity to play early builds of Stikbold! has enjoyed its accessibility, playability and sense of humor, comparing it to old school multiplayer games like Bomberman. We can’t wait to get it into the hands of console and PC players this April.”

 Stikbold! tells the story of Bjorn and Jerome who set out on a heroic mission in the name of love and glory. When a rival team is kidnapped by a man dressed as the devil, our dodgeball-loving superstars begin a journey that pays homage to the best buddy movies of old. The story mode can be enjoyed in single or co-op mode, and details Bjorn and Jerome’s quest to restore glory to their team, encountering all manner of weird and wonderful characters and scenarios along the way. Spread across five levels, each with multiple dodgeball battles, Stikbold! is a beautifully-paced adventure lasting around three hours, with multiple playthroughs offering plenty of bonus unlockables.

Developed by Game Swing and published by Curve Digital, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure will launch for $9.99/€9.99/£7.99 across PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC, with a 20 percent discount for two weeks post-launch. This game has been rated “E for Everyone” by the ESRB.

Key Features:

• Single or co-op adventure mode
• Up to four player multiplayer matches
• 18 weird and wonderful characters
• 12 single or multiplayer levels spread across five incredibly varied dodgeball arenas
• Intuitive controls offer deeply tactical gameplay
• Inventive story mode takes around three hours to play through each time, with additional content available to unlock via multiple playthroughs
• Highly customizable multiplayer modes that allow for up to six players on screen (four humans, two bots), providing endless challenge
• Players always involved in the action – even if they’re knocked out of the game

Rising Star Games to Bring Ingenious Gravity Switching Action Platformer to PC and Mac

Los Angeles, CA – March 10, 2016 – Rising Star Games, a video game publisher renowned for bringing unique and diverse games to players everywhere, has announced a new partnership with Happy Square Productions to publish The Land of Eyas on PC, Mac, and Linux. Combining lovable 2D visuals with gravity-based platform mechanics, gamers will use two opposing gravities to explore an enchanted world, experience huge sling-shot momentum jumps, and avoid dangerous enemies and obstacles in search for a way Home.

Upside down you’re turning me, so use the gravity instinctively

“The fine folks at Rising Star Games are stellar promo experts that give indie game titles the star power and attention that they deserve,” said Stephen Hoskins, founder of Happy Square Productions. “They disconnect the extremely arduous and time consuming tasks of promoting games from developers, delivering well-coordinated strategies designed to showcase the joyful greatness of indie games.

In The Land of Eyas, gamers take on the role Eyas, a little boy wearing an oddly-styled cat outfit, who is caught in a world split between two opposing gravities. To find his way Home, Eyas has to learn how to navigate the strangely beautiful world using the opposing gravitational forces and the objects he interacts with along the way. On his journey, he is guided by tree wisps that direct him to find the one they call Mother. By manipulating jumps between the different gravity fields, Eyas will be able to use the additional momentum to sling-shot to new heights and access new areas.

Developed by the indie developer Happy Square Productions, The Land of Eyas will be available this Summer on Steam and selected digital retailers. For more information, follow Rising Star Games on Twitter and visit the official Rising Star Games website.
