Fools!
A multiplayer Flash fight deployed on Facebook
Breed your Fool, fight your friends
Fools — August to October 2010, Paris. A multiplayer fighting game built with Flex 3 (ActionScript) and deployed as a Facebook application, powered by a Spring/AppEngine backend.
Each player designs their own Fool — picking hair, eyes, skin, colors and a signature magic — then duels friends through the Facebook Graph API. Streaks unlock level bonuses and star rewards.
A freelance-era weekend project — one of the first times I fused Flash gameplay with a real social graph, a bonus shop and an IAP loop via PayPal.

Duel your Facebook friends
Challenge any Facebook friend to a Fool-vs-Fool fight. Pick the right magic, chain combos, and push your streak to climb the weekly leaderboard.
Build your own Fool
Compose a unique Fool from interchangeable parts — hair, eyes, skin, colors — and assign a magic. Every player ends up with a distinct fighter to carry through the tournaments.
Bonuses, credits & shop
A light economy on top of the fighting loop — earn credits through duels, spend them in the bonus shop on cards like LY, SHAM, SUPASHAMLEE, SUPASHAMLOO. Paypal IAP to top up the wallet.
Facebook integration
The game ran embedded inside the Facebook canvas — friends list, invites and notifications plugged straight through the Graph API.
Your Fool, your stats
Each Fool has its own points, credits, strength, resistance, streak and next-star countdown. The stable page was the home screen of every player.
Selection & versus screen
Line up a challenger from the friends list, pick the magic to use this round, and jump into the fight with a Flash-animated versus screen.
Streak-based scoring
Win streaks matter — 2nd victory, 3rd victory, level bonus, stars. A short, addictive feedback loop designed to keep friends trading duels.
