What lured me to create a game using Construct 2 was the Facebook plug-in. Maintaining a Facebook app is a pain due to the constant API changes. Cop out was a game i had prototyped in the flash Pushbutton engine, i had named it “Keep me in” earlier, you can play that version here. It was a simple game, but i had given up working on it long back. I had some graphics ready for the game, so it looked like i could make this game in HTML5 using Construct 2. Making the game play was a matter of minutes. What took time was integrating the Facebook plug-in, i wish it handled more of the housing keeping and i just had to provide the score.

Uploading the app to heroku though git, worked fine the first time but the next day onwards i kept getting some fatal error with no more info on the windows command prompt. Once i got that resolved i could update new versions of the game with changes. Below are the videos of the making of the game play, you can see how smooth it was, the variables windows wasn’t captured by the video recording software. The cpx file for each part and the full game can be downloaded here.
