Working with the amazing folks over at Evolution Bureau, we were tasked with building a game for Facebook where the character is running through pipes, destroying clogs with her Liquid Plumr products.
This was one of the more fun projects of the year for us. Websites and apps are fun, but games require that extra bit of creativity and problem solving that we enjoy so much.
After going through a couple of different technology options, we ended up using the Citrus Engine (http://citrusengine.com). For more on the Citrus Engine and its capabilities, check out our blog post about our experiences with the system.
The engine came with a level builder that compiles a lot of the XML for you and ties into the API for rapid development and editing. We then built out the character animations and built out the weapons in the game, which proved to be quite a challenge since it was a little difficult finding much documenation on the weapon systems.
In the end, the game turned out quite well, it was tied in with a contest which ran smoothly. You can still play the game over at the Liquid Plumbr Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LiquidPlumr)
