Cynergy Develops New Silverlight Version of Popular LineRider Game

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - July 2, 2008) - Cynergy Systems, Inc., a global leader in Rich Internet application (RIA) software design and development, along with InXile Entertainment, announced the release of the next generation of the popular online game -- LineRider -- in Microsoft Silverlight. LineRider enables players to draw simple or complex landscapes with an easy-to-use pencil tool that is similar to that used in Etch-A-Sketch® and send a virtual sledder -- endearingly known as Bosh -- careening down the course. The game enjoys a cult-like following that has been created virally, through its online community where players save their tracks, set them to music and share them over YouTube.com.

Having already generated over 46 million views, LineRider was recently featured in two McDonald's commercials that promote its menu items. Line Rider has also received accolades from media worldwide. Time.com commented, "Line Rider is becoming one of the most popular flash games on the web," and The Wall Street Journal called Line Rider "Online gamers' new addiction." The Toronto Star noted that Line Rider was "a deceptively simple online game" and stated that it has become "the latest Internet addiction."

LineRider was originally created in September 2006 by Bostian Cadez, a Slovenian university student. The initial version was developed using Flash. To provide a more rewarding user experience, InXile Entertainment turned to Cynergy because of the company's depth of experience in developing rich Internet applications using Microsoft Silverlight, as well as its award-winning commitment to innovation.

Brian Fargo, chief executive officer of InXile Entertainment, commented, "LineRider and Bosh are enormously popular across a wide range of demographics. What was once a simple online game has become a thriving social network. To attract new users while also retaining our existing gamers, we needed to provide a richer user experience. Cynergy was the right partner to make that happen."

Cynergy's vice president, Dave Wolf, stated, "Cynergy is primarily a business-to-business enterprise application design and development firm, which is why we were able to easily apply these skills to develop such an engaging and popular consumer application. We're honored to have been chosen by InXile and Microsoft to bring the newest version of LineRider to its loyal followers."
