  Oh right. The variable will be changing but your text isn't updating. You only update it once on start of layout when it is 5. You have to use set text whenever you expect the variable to change, although the manual advises trying not to use every tick on a bunch of text objects if you can avoid it.

  The structure could be wrong such that reset global variables is happening constantly. You could have other events affecting it, if there are any. Post a screenshot of the events.

  When items are on the same layer, they still have something called Z order, where they can appear above or behind on the same layer. Check out Z order bar (not available in free version) https://www.scirra.com/manual/157/z-order-bar. For a background though, a good practice is to have the background on layer 0, and then start putting the sprites on layer 1 and above, see Layers https://www.scirra.com/manual/42/layers-bar.

  Just change it to ShadowBall on collision with Enemies > Subtract 5 from Live. That's all you need.

  When you pin you can choose to to take the angle of the object or the position. i.e. the pinned object does not rotate with the object it is pinned to. You can use set position to an object also. I have to guess what you are trying to do though, it's not really clear.

  You can use the Pin behaviour which pins the object to the player. https://www.scirra.com/manual/99/pin

  I've created something general here in 2 events without using an array, although your array idea seems reasonable. https://www.dropbox.com/s/irmajka5z3ihj ... .capx?dl=0

  You add more enemies to the game, you don't need to change anything. The only extra logic required is how and when you change the min and max probability values in the game, but yeah you said they are based on various things so I assume this will be some kind of calculation.

  You give it 8-direction behaviour, you don't need to 'use' it for movement though, just assign it to the object.

  You can use the system save game to slot event that will store an image of the game and the state it's in at the point of saving including the state of the destroyed objects. I don't see what your problem is with using local storage though, if you are already using it.

  You're not supposed to, the cell border should really be the same throughout the game for all objects .

  If you move the 'for each' above the Player condition you'll find it is working.
