Please check our new game, http://bit.ly/mangu_game leave comments about it!

nice graphics! using arrow keys for fb is still hard, try to develop a more click-friendly navigation system.

Thanks for the recommendation!! I will implement touch controls for the menu system!

quick question: how many people worked on this game?

Good stuff I like the anims although some of the graphics look like taken from sonic ;) - Personally I don't know what fugufish ;) wants from your controls - Works well for me although pressing arrow up to enter is not very user friendly and confusing at time.

@Fugufish: We were 2 people working on the game and beta testers (friends).


@Jerczu: We did want to add the enter key but then we thought about making it playable on smartphones and there was not that much space for more buttons.

what i meant by controls is a click (mouse) driven interface. 99.99% of facebook games use clicking because it helps the player to focus on the game window. If you're on keyboard controls and someone chat messages you, the focus is gone (i.e keyboard controls don't work anymore)

Anyway it does look nice..

agreed!

Looks great!

I'm curious to know how you implemented the Facebook API? With JS? If so, where did you embed it in Impact?

We want to thank everyone for your support and feedbacks, we wouldn't be able to do it without the impact community (you guys).

@quidmonkey, you gonna get a reply from -Ids- soon about FB API.

P.S.
We are still working on FB, if You want to play it outside FB you can do it here:

@quidmonkey yes we use javascript api but merged with some server functions with ajax to store ranking and request for gifts to other fb users. we did that on the main script of the game!

So I'm new to Facebook, but how did you grab your user info?

Thx for the reply!

@quidmonkey you need user permissions to perform api calls, when user gives permissions to your app, facebook send a parameter in the canvas page "signed request" then you can grab any data that your app is permitted with a token string in your signed request, if you need more specific help I'm glad to help you!

Cool!

I'm still lost. I looked through the Javascript SDK but saw no "signed request". I understand you call FB.init(), and then grab the user data, but which method do I call? Am I suppose to do a FQL query to grab username?

Sorry by ressurecting this topic, but I have a question.
How did you manage to fix the canvas in the location?
Here, when I resize the browser, the canvas move to be in the center and overlaps other html.

Thank you.
