Announcing the release of Broadway Cafe.
Import your Facebook friends and play together on your iPhone!
Utilising Facebook Connect for iPhone. Broadway integrates the world’s largest SNS site

August, 4th 2009

samp_g00Artscape Co., Ltd. and Istpika Co., Ltd. announce the release
of Broadway Cafe, a cafe action game for the iPhone & iPod touch. In
Broadway Cafe, you as the player run your own cafe. Take customer
orders, prepare meals and wait tables in this action game. But just
doing that would be too easy! You’re also in charge of interior
decoration, sales / profit and other responsibilities.

In addition to pushing the limits of the iPhone hardware, Broadway Cafe
incorporates functions and connectivity of the world’s biggest SNS site,
Facebook (*1). By importing your friends Broadway Cafe play data
from Facebook and use them as NPC’s in your game, you can assist
each other in leveling up or earning points. Sales of iPhone apps have
been a difficult battle in recent times. We’re making social networking
and Facebook our sales weapons for increased distribution.
