  It's because you've buried the On created inside the Critter group, which is still disabled by the time the next layout is started.

  Edit: And your Critters are global, I don't think you want that.

  BGLevel2 is at 100%, so you can't see them.

  You aren't activating the Critter group on startup.

  It's an illusion, because the bombs are dropping at the same speed as the background until the acceleration picks up enough to make them move faster.

  Missed it by "that" much:

  The key is to have two copies, so that as one scrolls off, the other scrolls on. The other trick is to not have a fixed value, but the offset of the background's size, times two.

  You can use System:Pick nth instance with 0, to just pick the first one, or use some other criteria if you have a preference.

  'On collision' is a trigger - it only happens once per collision, so you can't bury the space-bar code under it - it won't be reached. You need to move that out with some other condition to activate it. You can use a Group, or just check that the frame = 1.

  Generally you'd make a save function, when the game closes, or a level completes, copy all of your variables into the dictionary, and save the dictionary. Then on startup, you load the dictionary and copy the values back out.

  There are other ways, but this is the simplest and safest.

  Don't do this. Use a Dictionary as CGamez and the Local Storage manual itself suggests.

  It's changing because it's outside of the trigger, and the value is changing randomly.

  So, I don't know if this was a demo-translation typo, but the animation name is wrong. It should be "NPC0"&NPC.Level.

  OK, I see now, it's the animation.
