  Mortar Melon is on the Windows Store and soon to be on the Windows Phone Store as well if it isn't already. It plays great on my Surface RT. One thing that you need to know is that Mortar Melon is a physics/catapult type game. Not an Angry Birds clone, but of the same genre. This means that it doesn't have as many moving sprites on screen at once, but relies heavily on physics, which leads me to believe it is more CPU bound than GPU bound.

  But playing it on the Surface means it is basically using the IE engine when I run it and it still performs seamlessly at HD resolutions though IE is definitely not the front runner for HTML5 performance. So not sure how much of a direct comparison you can draw, but HD and running in IE and it still does great.

  You may also be able to use the new pathfinding behaviors in r117 and set the enemy to find a certain sprite, then when they reach it, set it to the next sprite, this way you could control your route.

  Maybe have an instance variable that tracks the current/next target, and on collision with the waypoint sprite, update it to the next target...

  Any properties of the scroll to behavior that you can adjust to track only X axis and not Y?

  Any chance you are using sprites as collision boxes and they are ending up rendering above your other assets?

  I would advise checking through the tutorials as there are multiple that cover scrolling layers and backgrounds for different scenarios. You can try the following to get started, I found these simply by using the search box on the forums using this search: Forum Search for Scrolling

  Scrolling Tiled Background C2

  Scrolling Background question

  Continuous scrolling background from parts?

  Wasn't sure if tools/resources or How Do I... was a better place. But I figured that the tutorials are resources...

  Haven't used the path finding yet, but is there an option to get the current paths target? If so you could get the current target XY and compare it to the players XY and then force it to recalculate?

  The best way of you want some type of "toggle" on/off behavior would be to use a variable. Then have it check for the variable changing. That may give you more predictable control.

  Have you gone through the tutorial on supporting multiple screen resolutions? It covers full screen scaling. You can find it here: scirra.com/tutorials/73/supporting-multiple-screen-sizes hope that helps.

  For the second part, there are multiple tutorials on how to make money with your games, there is also a tutorial that covers what you can do with each license. I highly recommend spending some time digging through the tutorials as there is a ton if great content there covering just about anything you could want to do.
