  They said they are working on something in the 'medium term' to allow some of the more popular custom plugins on the arcade.

  Interesting. Sounds hard on performance...

  You can access accelerometer values from the touch object.

  Not sure exactly what you want, but I'd look into the 'pick nth instance' condition.

  Ashley - that does not explain why the origin should be bounded.

  Webgl supports point sampling however canvas2D does not ATM, I think.

  Scirra is well aware of this issue, they are hassling Awesomium to fix it.

  Ashley is there a way to let everyone know of this? People are freaking out ;)

  There are many less limits than you think. The main limits are browser problems, and poor HTML5 performance on mobile devices.

  The only engine limits I can think of are

  -no 3D support, as Rory said

  -no multiplayer, again, said by rory,

  -no vector manipulation or vector graphics (custom plugins might cover this)

  If you have any specific examples, we could probably tell you if it's possible/feasible within C2. 99% of things are.

  I'd do something like this.

  Make an array, each entry corresponding to a monster type.

  Then try something like:

  global variable monsterIndex = 0

  every 2 seconds:

  if array.at(monsterIndex) = "zombie"

  --> create zombie

  if array.at(monsterIndex) = "ghost"

  --> create ghost

  if array.at(monsterIndex) = "squid"

  --> create squid

  (etc, for all the monsters)

  Add 1 to monsterIndex

  Do you see what I'm getting at?

  Use a one-dimensional array containing a number or string for every enemy type.

  If you don't understand arrays, it won't make much sense, but if you do, you will see what I mean.

  Ashley and Tom know about these issues. They are hard at work to fix them, don't panic ;)

  So, Awesomium thinks down is up? Strange.

  I love the messed up nature of the game, you pull it off beautifully. I never expected a mario platformer to turn into a survival horror game.

  (also, nice use of the game sprites in the cave of truth ;) )
