Gifted! : Facebook Flash Game Goes Live
Published by CEE November 18th, 2008 in Company News & Press
We are proud to announce the public beta of our first Flash game developed specifically for the Facebook platform. Gifted! was developed for Koinonia Interactive and is a game about mastering the art of giving. Gifted! takes the worlds of social networking and online shopping and combines them into a fun and insightful blend.
With a catalog of over 300 unique gifts hand-picked from online retailers like Amazon and ThinkGeek players can not only give gifts to their friends online, they can also click a link and purchase these gifts "Fo' Real." Players are in store for some gifting fun just in time for the holidays… and who knows… maybe your holiday shopping will be just a bit easier after playing a few rounds.
Technically speaking, Gifted! brings together a variety of existing APIs such as Amazon's AWS, Google's Analytics and Facebook's ever-evolving code base as well as key aspects of PHP, MySQL and Flash ActionScript 3.0. Needless to say this was not a cookie cutter project but we have a happy client and a great foray into the world of socially networked games.
Will your friend think your gift is awesome? cool? or just plain craptastic?
Play Gifted! on Facebook and find out.
