As Venturebeat and Techcrunch have covered, today we’ve launched:

• Dual Currency – Reward users with points that they can use to redeem virtual goods.
• Achievements - game players will now be able to play one another anywhere on the web and record their in-game achievements to their Heyzap profile.

• Twitter and Facebook Connect - users can share their achievements, scores, and activity stream with their friends.

Dual Currency System for Flash Games

Players can now also gain points inside games by completing certain achievements and use their points to purchase in-game virtual goods and level access. This now links Heyzap’s existing currency, Heyzap Coins, with in-game points to form a dual currency system that’s never been made accessible to independent developers. Now any game developer can take advantage of the growth of social gaming by integrating viral loops, achievements,Twitter and Facebook connect.

Game Profiles & Achievements

Nobody likes playing games by themselves! With Heyzap’s new gamer profiles, you’ll never have to play alone again. Gamers can now record all their achievements, virtual goods, and high scores in a single profile. Think of it as OpenID for online games.
