Beat Up Anything You Want With iRelease
iRelease – Release your anger ($0.99) by Kanishka Infocom Pvt Ltd would be the iOS definition of catharsis.
Ever wanted to go postal on someone without the whole “assault and battery” thing, or being labeled a sick puppy? Actually don’t answer that, just wave your non-existent tail that you chewed off and swallowed whole because only sick puppies would do that, and you are in fact a sick puppy.
Luckily, there’s an app to help you vent the right way.
The app allows you to either take a picture or choose one from your image gallery. You’ll then need to select male, female, or object in order to make the sound effects match the punching. Oh yes -- punching. Your chosen picture will appear with two red boxing gloves at the bottom of the screen. Touch anywhere on the picture to let your fists fly.
The disembodied gloves alternate as you tap away at your nemesis. Hazy red splotches show anytime an area is hit. The more you focus on that one spot, the darker the splotches get. Depending on what gender you selected previously, you’ll hear copious amounts of crying and sniffling. A convenient mute button can easily turn the sound on or off if you’re too freaked out by the cries.
Once you’re finally done exacting your fantasy revenge, a countdown from 10 will show. The app prompts you to “Take a deep breath and let it go...”
And then go do it again!
Is this app a little freaky? No question. Will it relieve your stress? It’s certainly one way to do it. Just try not to get so carried away that you break your iDevice’s glass screen.
