farflamex Congrats on getting your new phone, and thanks for the performance update on your new phone.

Yes, physics are a mobile performance killer but it looks like Windows Phone 8 beats Android big time on performance.

30fps with 150 sprites is still playable, and since your new phone is on the lower end of the scale hardware wise any game you make will run on all windows phone 8's. Also you could probably cut down your sprite count if you creatively use tiled backgrounds instead of sprites whenever possible. 150 sprites is more than enough to make short platformer levels.

boolean I took a look at your sample capx, and I think you could increase your games performance by using System every --> ? seconds instead of Every tick.

When ever you have a lot of sprites moving at angles it will kill your games performance. My first Android game Falling Fruit Frenzy has a lot of sprites moving at angles, and I had to sacrifice quite a bit of my original game idea to get it to run at a playable speed with CocoonJS.

I don't know if developing for Android is worth all of the headaches, heartaches, and disappointments anymore. I invested a lot of money in Android devises for testing on just because I believed in companies like AppMobi, and CocoonJS. But it seems like they have abandoned us lately. AppMobi's direct canvas I could never get to work with Android, and now that Intel bought there tools, and developers they never come here anymore. And CocoonJS it seems like there new flagship is 3D so I don't expect them to be fixing anything we have all been waiting for, for over a year now like in app purchases, audio, or a ad revenue service that's not a scam like MoPub is.

My disappointments with Android have even left me afraid to invest in other mobile platforms devises. I might just get out of the mobile market all together until I see someone from here actually turn a profit.

Wow! Looks incredible I love the art style.

No, Construct 2 forums are not dead. lol

It's just been slow the last couple of weeks probably because spring brake is going on, and all the young members are in some tropical paradise right now drinking up all there parents hard earned money.   <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Also, there are a lot of members lurking in the background see all the guests on line. I bet most of them are members of the community just waiting for some awesome announcement like audio now 100% working in CocoonJS, or in app purchases now working in CocoonJS. LOL

Stick around things will liven up.

ArcadEd This is awesome! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks for making this, and especially for sharing it with us. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Yes, thank you very much for "Save/Load State" feature it is much appreciated <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Guys I think it's bugged because when I smell my monitor all I can smell is stale beer, and 2 week old pizza <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

WaterlooErik Thank you for all the info, and links it is much appreciated. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Wow! That's a pretty nice birthday present, and even a nicer Mum you got there.

farflamex Do you remember me saying how I wish they soled the Nokia Lumia 620 in the US because I would probably get one? Well look what I found:

Sleeper hit? Nokia Lumia 620 already a top selling phone on US retailer

and:

Nokia Lumia 620 available in the U.S. through Expansys, just $289.99

It comes fully unlocked, and they say "as an unlocked world-phone it should play nicely with AT&T and will also work okay with T-Mobile". So if anyone from the US is reading this, and looking for a cheap fully unlocked Windows Phone 8 you can get them here:

Let us know how C2 games perform on your new phone because I am considering getting one now.

I'm not sure if you can just switch your sim over like that. Your current phone would have to run on one of the same frequencies that the Nokia Lumia 620 runs on for that to work. I would just ask your cellular provider if that would be possible maybe you will get lucky.

I know one of the nice things about the Nokia Lumia 620 is that it is advertized as an unlocked phone. That means that you are free to choose your cellular provider as long as they sell sim's that support your new phones frequencies. But some of those phones are sim free which means you would have to activate it with a sim free provider like T-Mobile.

Here is a list of pay as you go offers, and providers for the Nokia Lumia 620 in the UK:

There are probably more if you ask around but those are right from the manufacturers website.

Here is a cheap Windows Phone 8:

Nokia Lumia 620

It says in the U.K. starting at ?150 but look at the hardware specs 512MB of RAM. Not much there but the rest of it sounds like the first Samsung Galaxy S.

I guess if you could get a game to run well on it it would run on all Windows Phone 8's. Sounds like what you were looking for. I just wish they sold them in the U.S. I would probably get one.

Edit:

If you read down that page it says that "the Lumia 620 is not such a great choice for pocket gamers". But nether was the first Samsung Galaxy S that I used last year.

On a good note it looks like IE11 may support WebGL in the future which would make your games run fast on that phone.
