College-student app developers will donate all proceeds from their "Gushers" oil exploration-themed game to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund

NORWALK, Conn., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Razorleaf Studios, owned and operated by two college students, has announced today that it will donate 100% of every sale of their 'Gushers' iPhone app to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund while the crisis continues, effective immediately.  

'Gushers' is a popular interactive oil exploration-themed iPhone and iPad game that was released in December of 2009.  The game closely analogs an actual oil drilling environment, but also emphasizes safe oil techniques through various game elements.  'Gushers' has received overwhelmingly positive reviews by players and reviewers alike.  Over 10,000 users have already downloaded the game.

The Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund is a non-profit organization that is working extensively in the Gulf to provide emergency assistance to fishermen whose livelihoods were deeply affected by the Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill.  The Fund was established by the Greater New Orleans Foundation (www.gnof.org ) to direct philanthropic dollars into affected communities both in the short and long term.

Anthony Allen, co-founder of Razorleaf, commented, "My twin brother Chris and I cannot even imagine the damage caused by the spill and felt that we really needed to do something to help out.  Being college students, our funds are relatively limited, but having had developed an oil-themed game, 'Gushers', several months before the current oil spill, we decided that the game would be the perfect medium for us to raise funds to help out the Gulf region."

Founded in 2009, Razorleaf Studios (www.razorleafstudios.com ) is an interactive subsidiary of Norwalk, CT based The Allen Group, Inc. (www.theallengroup.com ). Razorleaf Studios' goal is to create fun and innovative mobile applications for the whole world to enjoy.
