Maybe do a sprite on the ground in combination with the particle effect? You could make the splatter look sort of like what the particles would look like. So you'd want something like this: get hit, spawn particles, small time delay, spawn splatter.

Spawn a sprite on the ground that looks like a blood stain?

You are using 'bullet - pick instance with UID' instead of 'enemy - pick instance with UID'.

Just think of UID as a number that is unique to every instance of every object in the game.

Sure! You will need an instance variable on the bullet called "enemyUID" or something. Then, when the enemy shoots the bullet, set this value to enemy.UID.

When reflecting, use the 'pick by unique ID' expression to shoot it back at the correct enemy.

boolean, I think the Workshop does support software. If you have a look at game maker you can see some games that have been uploaded there.

I saw the words "Music" and "Sync" and sort of looked the other way :)

You must be having a touch time with this game, but hopefully it will work out for you!

Interesting! I wonder if this affects all rotary platformers...

CrudeMik, that looks really cool! Any plans to implement AI for those of us with no friends? :)

Ashley, that's interesting. I never realized there was a workaround there!

Instead of doing "system time = 2 seconds", which will indeed sometimes skip, use "system time > 2 seconds" and "trigger once".

I'd also suggest asking —, mxwring, and filippileonardo!

These guys have some great games!
